You are getting some good advice here, but personally if it were me I'd go ahead and get married and file the I-130 and the I-485. Then you wouldn't have to go back, and you wouldn't have to worry about something happening that makes it difficult or impossible to reenter the United States later. It would be best to get married and file the paperwork before your six months runs out, but even if you didn't, you'd probably still be okay because you came into the country legally. As long as you are not a criminal, you came in legally, and you are lawfully married to a U.S. citizen they're going to grant the I-130 and the I-485. They do this for people who have been here years after their visas expire.
