To complete my happiness, I (got) married early.

When I was in my 20s, I had a good career in a Swiss company. I earned a high income and enjoyed a good life. To complete my happiness, I (got) married early.

1. Is the sentence in bold OK?
2. Which is better - 'got married' or 'married'?

Thanks.

Hi I think 'got' is right there because you are talking about something that you decided to do recently. If you are just saying that it happened some time ago, you might leave 'got' out ... - Fred and I got married last week!
