Married, rolling back years, appearing so fresh? (4)

I believe the answer is:

dewy

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'so fresh?' is the definition.
'dewy' can be an answer for 'fresh?' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'so' bit.

'married rolling back years' is the wordplay.
'married' becomes 'wed' (wed can mean married).
'rolling' is a reversal indicator.
'back years' becomes 'y' (abbreviation. I am not sure about the 'back' bit.).
'wed' backwards is 'dew'.
'dew'+'y'='DEWY'

'appearing' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dewy that I've seen before include "wet grass" , "fresh in the morning?" , "laden with pearls" , "Wet with condensation" , "Fresh early on" .)
