hitched

Tied the knot

Hitched means attached or fastened, from the idea of hooking things together.

You hitch a trailer to a truck or hitch a horse to a post.

To hitch a ride is to get one opportunistically, especially by thumbing: We hitched a ride to the coast.

In casual speech, hitched means married: They finally got hitched after ten years together.
