■casarse verbo reflexivo to marry, get married: nos casamos por lo civil/por la Iglesia, we got married in a registry office/in church
♦ Locuciones: familiar figurado no casarse con nadie, to stay single
Los anglohablantes prefieren usar el verbo to marry cuando hay algún complemento (nos casó un cura viejo, an old priest married us; me caso con Mary mañana, I'm marrying Mary tomorrow) y to get married cuando no lo hay: Me caso mañana. I'm getting married tomorrow. Observa que también es frecuente el uso de la voz pasiva: we were married by an old priest.
