married
/ˈmæɹ.ɪd/
When used as an adjective, "married" often follows the verb "to be" (e.g., "I am married") or "to get" (e.g., "They got married"). In formal contexts, you can say someone is "married to" another person. Avoid saying "married with," which is a common mistake for English learners. When used as a verb, it can refer to the act of the couple joining together or the action of an official (like a priest) performing the ceremony.

Yeah, they tied the knot in Vegas last weekend. Totally out of character.
