I would like to ask for advice

Since both of you have a valid residence permit in Denmark, you need not worry about it.

So you can simply make the arrangements to marry.

No, you don't. Marrying does not make your residence permit invalid.

If you still hold a job when your residence permit is about to expire, you can probably apply for an extension based on your job. The rules may have been changed by 2017, but most likely people who are working will be more than welcome to stay.

Previously you wrote you have a "working permanent visa in Denmark". So my answer is based on the information you gave, i.e. you have a permanent residence permit.

If you don't have a permanent one, then it's a different matter.

Then what if I'm going to get fired from my current job before my visa expire, and can't find a new job the next 8 mouths. Can I stay here in Denmark with my wife? Or should I just go and apply for permanent residence after we got married, Its mean I do have to, to have the 50000 kr just in case if I get fired or quit my job. I just want to make sure that I can stay here in Denmark with my wife even though if I'm going to lose my job one day.

Thanks

You can not apply for a permanent residence yet, married or not.

What you can is apply for 'family reunion' if you loose your job. In that case you will have to fulfill the conditions. The at present 52.490,12 DKK must then be deposited. Be aware that the new government most likely will raise the sum, probably to at least 100.000 DKK.

That you have to deposit x-thousand DKK does not mean that you have to have them yourselves, if you have a bank that is willing to give you credit. But of course the more you can present yourselves the better.
