getting hitched

Walking the aisle

Getting hitched is informal for getting married.

The phrase evokes the image of two things being fastened together, like horses to a wagon.

It's casual and often lighthearted: They're finally getting hitched after ten years together.

The standalone verb hitch can work the same way: When are you two going to hitch?
