gets hitched

Walks the aisle

Gets hitched means gets married.

The phrase is informal and lighthearted, often used when the marriage itself feels casual or when the speaker wants to downplay ceremony: My brother's finally getting hitched next month.

Hitched evokes yoking animals together, suggesting two people now bound as a team.
