wedded

Bound by vows

Wedded means married or joined in marriage: his wedded wife, wedded bliss.

Beyond matrimony, wedded describes deep attachment or commitment to something: wedded to tradition, wedded to the idea.

Someone wedded to a belief holds it stubbornly, for better or worse.

The word carries a formal, slightly old-fashioned tone compared to married.
