This might be a double definition.

'we had' is the first definition.
(contraction of 'we had')

'get married' is the second definition.
(synonyms)

'contracted to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wed that I've seen before include "Take in marriage" , "Marry" , "Joined in the dew" , "Took in marriage" , "Married" .)
