how would you say "I'm getting married"?

My best guess is "watashi wa kekkon shimasu".

If that's correct, is that normal for most things or something specific to marriage?
Marriage is a state of being, so when using ている form here, it is the same as the past tense in English "I am married".

As you suspected 私は結婚します means I will get married, but I am not married at this time.
