You have applied to adjust your status due to marriage. You may remain in the country, out of status, until your application is processed.

To amplify. Once you leave the program of study, your F-1 is withdrawn. If you've already filed your adjustment of status, you are fine. From the time the adjustment is applied for and until a decision is made, the accural of unauthorized presence is held in abeyance. If you're approved, everything is forgiven. If denied, then you get dinged for the time you would have been out of status had you not applied.

As long as you have a bona fide marriage to a US citizen, there is no reason why this shoiuld work fine.
