Definition
完婚 is a formal verb-object compound (离合词) meaning 'to get married', traditionally used for the groom completing the wedding ceremony. It is more literary than the common 结婚. As a separable verb, you can insert 了, 过, or 的 between 完 and 婚 to indicate completion, experience, or emphasis (e.g., 完了婚 'got married', 完的婚 'got married [emphasizing time]').
