Cried upon finding me married! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mewed

'cried' is the definition.
(mew means a cat's cry)

'upon finding me married' is the wordplay.
'upon finding' says to put letters next to each other.
'married' becomes 'wed' (wed can mean married).
'me' next to 'wed' is 'MEWED'.

(Other definitions for mewed that I've seen before include "cried pitifully" , "Made cat noise" , "made catty remark" , "confined" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
