You do not 'cancel' a marriage certificate, but, in some States if you have been married less than a certain period of time (which varies from state to state) and meet other specific criteria you can have the marriage 'annulled.' This dissolves the marriage ab initio, and is legally distinct from a "divorce".

If you got the license (not the "certificate", which is a document from the state that the marriage has been recorded) and then changed your mind before getting married, you don't usually need to explicitly "cancel" it. They normally expire after a short time (3 days to a month, again depending on the state) if the marriage is not solemnized (the "wedding" part) and recorded.
