Hmmm am I too weird?

Alli and Jim are getting married.

They are getting married

Are they getting married?

So far they all look correct (they the sentences not the persons)

So is this correct? :

Are Alli and Jim getting married? It sounds so weird for me as I use 'is' but I can count how many times I used them because I wasn't sure about the accuracy of that part of grammar Emotion: tongue tied
