got married

Exchanged wedding vows

Got married is the past tense of get married, meaning to enter into marriage.

The phrase emphasizes the event or transition: They got married last June, We got married at city hall.

It's more conversational than "married" alone, which can sound formal or describe an ongoing state rather than the moment of union.
