Getting married in Canada

I'm having trouble finding information on getting married in Canada. We are both US citizens and want to hold our wedding in New Brunswick, CA. Would the marriage be legal? What are the requirements for US citizens to wed in Canada?

In general, marriages which are legally performed and valid abroad are also legally valid in the United States. Inquiries regarding the validity of a marriage abroad should be directed to the attorney general of the state in the United States where the parties to the marriage live.
