Congratulations on your engagement! Generally, entering with a visitor visa means that you intend to leave the U.S. after a temporary visit. If your plans change while you are in the U.S., such as getting married, you can apply to adjust your status to permanent resident in the U.S. without leaving. USCIS is concerned about foreign nationals using the visitor visa to circumvent the consular process at the U.S. embassies around the world. If you had no plans to marry and stay here when you entered the U.S., then you should have no problems.
Good luck!
