I married my sister and her boyfriend; it was an honor. (Meaning: I performed the ceremony)

Cuando era joven, no pensé que me casé tan pronto.

When I was young, I didn't think I would get married so soon.

The Role of the Accent

The accent mark on the 'é' is crucial! It tells you this is a completed action in the past ('I married'). Without it, 'case' means 'I marry' (present subjunctive) or is the noun 'case/container'.

The Difference Between 'Casar' and 'Casarse'

If you are the person getting married, you must use the reflexive form: 'Me casé' (I got married). If you just say 'Yo casé,' it usually means you were the official performing the ceremony.

Using the wrong form for 'I got married'

Mistake:Yo casé con ella.

Correction: Yo *me casé* con ella. (Remember the little word 'me' is needed when you are the one getting married.)
