Hello,
I don't know why correct answer is "getting"? Why not "get married"? Why "going married" was wrong? Thanks.

You need getting married because this is in the future and the continuous form is necessary. Get married means become married go married or going married don't make sense, I'm afraid. Possibly you are thinking of this:

They are going to get married.
