wifed up

Got a spouse

Wifed up describes someone, usually a man, who has gotten into a serious committed relationship or marriage.

The phrase implies he's now off the market and domestically settled: He got wifed up last year and we barely see him anymore.

Can also describe the state itself: Sorry, I'm wifed up now.
