Marry versus Get married
|

Could you tell me please what the difference is between "marry" and "get married"? I have tried researching on the Net but haven �t found any clear answer. |

Hi Paula!
In fact, there aren �t any differences in meaning between both verbs. They mean the same.
The only difference is this:
- you marry someone (no preposition)
BUT
- you get married to someone
I hope I have helped you.

Yes, that �s right. But just remember, when he proposes (or she does, as it �s a leap year!) he says, �Will you marry me? � |

Or you just "get married", which is more common than "get married to". He married his long-time sweetheart last year. They got married last year. The meaning is the same, but the usage is slightly different. Bruce
