"结婚"的英文表达最简单的就是A marries/weds B，比如，Zhou Xun marries boyfriend Gao Shengyuan。其他常用的表达还有，to tie the knot, to walk down the aisle, to get hitched等。

To tie the knot(喜结连理)至少在13世纪就用来表示"结婚"的意思了，knot在很多文化中都被视为"坚不可摧的承诺"之意。

To walk down the aisle(踏上红毯)则指举行婚礼时，新娘由家人陪伴走过红毯，来到新郎身旁，然后举行仪式。

To get hitched(拴在一起)更形象地表现了婚姻中两个人的关系，两个人是拴在一起的。
