Once you overstayed even for a day... you are not eligible to file for change of status to any other non-immigrant visa.

If you want to get married in order to obtain immigration status, you must leave and return with proper visa, and since the overstay could trigger the 10 years bar, you need an experienced immigration attorney for this matter.
