To take a wife or be united to a husband: 1. dūco, xi, ctum, 3 (of the husband): freq. with a defining word: e. g. (aliquam) uxorem d., Cic. Sext. 3, 7 (but a little before, duxi C. Albini filiam, without uxorem); in matrimonium d., Caes. B. G. 1, 9. (N.B.--If used absol. in Eng., uxorem must be added in Lat., e. g. he never m.'d, nunquam uxorem duxit.) 2. nūbo, psi or nupta sum, 3 (of the wife: with dat.): she m.'d her cousin, ea nupsit consobrino suo, Cic. Clu. 5, 11: to m. into a very distinguished family, in familiam clarissimam n., id. Coel. 14, 34. (N.B.--The perfect nupta sum can only be used in pres. perf. sense; not as past. indef. = I am m.'d to: cf. Cic. Div. 1, 46, 104, virgo nupsit [ei] cui Caecilia nupta fuerat.) Comps. of nubo rare: (1). dēnūbo, 3 (to m. beneath her: rare): Tac. A. 6, 27: also poet. = nubo. Ov. M. 12, 196. (2). ēnūbo, 1 (to m. out of her order; of a patrician lady: rare): Liv. 10, 23.

Max. 9, 1, 9: also, matrimonio jungi, Liv. 1, 146, med. Phr.: he could not be tempted to m. again, neque sollicitari ulla conditione amplius potuit, Suet. Galb. 5: he m.'d Domitia, Domitiam sibi junxit, Tac. Agr. 6, init.: to m. again, secundas nuptias experiri, cf. Val. Max. 2, 1, 3: a woman who has been several times m.'d, femina multarum nuptiarum, Cic. Att. 13, 29. II. To settle a daughter, etc., in wedlock: 1. collŏco, 1: usu. with in matrimonium, Cic. Div. 1, 46, 144: also alone, to m. a daughter to any one, alicui filiam suam c., id. Br. 26, 96: and absol., not to be able to get m.'d, collocari non posse, Nep. Ep. 3.

(N.B.--Of the above, jungo may be equally well used of marrying one's son to any one.) III. To perform the ceremony of marriage: Phr.: *nuptiis rite celebrandis praeesse; nuptiarum sollennia rite concipere (cf. Tac. A. 11, 26, extr.). (N.B.--Not celebrare; which is used of persons contracting a marriage.)
