Marriage completed, one changing residence? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mover

'one changing residence?' is the definition.

'marriage completed' is the wordplay.
'marriage' becomes 'm' (abbreviation in official records).
'completed' becomes 'over' ('over' can be a synonym of 'completed').
'm'+'over'='MOVER'

(Other definitions for mover that I've seen before include "One who is in motion - may also be a shaker" , "someone who brings forward proposal" , "Instigator, organiser" , "Dynamic type" , "Formal proposer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
