Default Entered US on Visa Waiver - Can I get married?

Hi,
if I enter the US on a Visa Waiver Program, can I almost immediately get married to a US citizen and then adjust the status? Is this risky? I am a EU Citizen, I don't understand if, to get married in the US to a US citizen, I have to go through the K-1 visa or I can simply enter the US on the visa waiver program.
Any color on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gino
