Try to use more specific designations (e.g 'drivers' instead of 'people').
We don't 'walk away' with vehicles!

You must be a very fast worker to have a wife so quickly.

"Walked away with" is not natural. Sounds like you picked her up like you would a sack of flour.

Last month, I joined a dating service and have already found the woman who will be my bride, or something like that would be better.

I find the phrase difficult to use. When I used it in the bride example, I wanted to mean I won her heart like a boxer winning a championship and walking away with the title/belt.

Could you give me some guidance how to use the expression? Contests and whatelse it can be used?

I see the problem now. If I had said I went to an event organized by the dating service I'd signed up, it would be acceptable, right?

Yes! (Still surprising, but it would be using the formation correctly.)

OK. I guess it takes practice to sound natural. It won't happen overnight Thank you, GG for the great explanation and the examples.
