 Context examples 

Though my parents had been married so long, they had really seen very little of each other, and their affection was as warm and as fresh as if they were two newly-wedded lovers.

(Rodney Stone, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

We were quietly married at a registry office, and we returned to Norfolk a wedded couple.

(The Return of Sherlock Holmes, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

Sometimes you may have to talk over touchy matters, where you and your partner are strongly wedded to your respective, opposite positions.

(AstrologyZone.com, by Susan Miller)

Scarcely had he done regretting Mary Crawford, and observing to Fanny how impossible it was that he should ever meet with such another woman, before it began to strike him whether a very different kind of woman might not do just as well, or a great deal better: whether Fanny herself were not growing as dear, as important to him in all her smiles and all her ways, as Mary Crawford had ever been; and whether it might not be a possible, an hopeful undertaking to persuade her that her warm and sisterly regard for him would be foundation enough for wedded love.

(Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen)

And the clergyman, who had not lifted his eyes from his book, and had held his breath but for a moment, was proceeding: his hand was already stretched towards Mr. Rochester, as his lips unclosed to ask, Wilt thou have this woman for thy wedded wife?—when a distinct and near voice said—The marriage cannot go on: I declare the existence of an impediment.

(Jane Eyre, by Charlotte Brontë)

(The White Company, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

You see, I doen't grow younger as the years comes round, and if I hadn't sailed as 'twas, most like I shouldn't never have done 't. And it's allus been on my mind, as I must come and see Mas'r Davy and your own sweet blooming self, in your wedded happiness, afore I got to be too old.

(David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens)

I have never seen a countenance in which the angel and the devil were more obviously wedded.

(Rodney Stone, by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)

'So very fond of me!' 'tis nonsense all. She loves nobody but herself and her brother. Her friends leading her astray for years! She is quite as likely to have led them astray. They have all, perhaps, been corrupting one another; but if they are so much fonder of her than she is of them, she is the less likely to have been hurt, except by their flattery. 'The only woman in the world whom he could ever think of as a wife.' I firmly believe it. It is an attachment to govern his whole life. Accepted or refused, his heart is wedded to her for ever. 'The loss of Mary I must consider as comprehending the loss of Crawford and Fanny.' Edmund, you do not know me. The families would never be connected if you did not connect them! Oh! write, write. Finish it at once. Let there be an end of this suspense. Fix, commit, condemn yourself.

(Mansfield Park, by Jane Austen)
