The expression "To be married" means "to marry".
We can imagine that where it is a question of wedding, we're going to talk about marriage. Certainly, but what are added here to marry et adjustments ?
The verb to marry comes from low latin covolare which, in law, meant "to remarry", but which, by construction, should rather have meant "to fly with, towards or together".
Today, this verb is hardly used any more except in this expression.
As for fair, this qualifier has the meaning of "legitimate" or, in other words, of perfectly authorized, taking into account the laws of the moment. Moreover, among the Romans, just wedding, or rather justae nuptiae, denoted a legitimate marriage.
Once its terms are peeled, our expression could therefore mean "to remarry during a legitimate marriage", but it is actually used rather ironically or jokingly to simply say "to marry".
