Also, it's not so much that "me" is the indirect pronoun but that it's the "reflexive" pronoun.
Spanish has 2 related verbs: the intransitive verb "casarse [con alguien]" = "to get married [to someone]", "to marry [someone] (become a spouse)" and the transitive verb "casar" = "to marry (someone to someone else)".
"Casarse" is a pronominal verb: it MUST have an object pronoun that agrees with the subject. "Con [alguien]" is optional and identifies the person who has become the spouse of the subject.
As a transitive verb, "casar" requires direct objects that name the two people who have been married (or perhaps the two things that have been paired, such as socks or a cup and saucer).
