More details to this question:
Hi, I'm just curious. I am a foreign national on an H1B visa. My boyfriend of 3years recently proposed and we were planning our wedding for the new year. Once we are married however my visa will expire 7 months after our wedding. Will I still have to leave the country and if not will I still be able to continue to work? Thanks in advance for responding

Assuming your boyfriend is a U.S. citizen, no you will not need to leave the country. You will be able to initiate the green card process after marriage. As part of the process, you can request employment authorization. You can read more about adjustment of status at http://myattorneyusa.com/adjustment-of-immigration-status.
