I know that your sentence was used "get" and past particle "married". but why not marry?
marry is simple sentence but married is past sentence.
Then in "are you getting married net month?", "married" is shows that it has already happened in the past time.

Yes I the the meaning that as you said.
But Why not marry ?

Because after "get" it is necessary to use "married". You cannot say "getting marry". English is not mathematics. It's not about logic.

I can't understand your explain that also then everything I've got with "get" word is needed a form like past particle?
we are getting joyed, we are getting sorrowed, we are getting rained...?
it seems like more a part of logical.
