"Marry" is probably an eventive (i.e., a change of state) [1], an artificial
event (sometimes called an "act", meaning having a human agent), and in fact a
reciprocal act (i.e., symmetric like "meet"), intentional/social, and probably
a performative ("I hereby marry ..."). However, the nominal "marriage" is a
static state [2], though perhaps (slightly humorously) an activity [3]. (01)
VerbNet's classification (mostly syntactic):
http://verbs.colorado.edu/verb-index/vn/marry-36.2.php#marry-36.2.
FrameNet doesn't have "marry", per se. (02)
[1] From DOLCE Lite v397, on "eventive":
"An occurrence-type is stative or eventive according to whether it holds of
the mereological sum of two of its instances, i.e. if it is cumulative or not.
A sitting occurrence is stative since the sum of two sittings is still a
sitting occurrence." (03)
[2} A state is static if the state implies the static property in time.
"
For instance, "rolling continues", "rising/dropping", "slightly active", and
"become strong," which represent the changes of states, are dynamic states, but
"hot", "cold", and "fine" are static states. The dynamic state "become higher"
indicates that the temperature of the static state "low temperature" will become
higher because of a change of the static state."
