I dreamed that my ex got married. What does it mean?

Seeing your ex getting married in a dream points, in the tradition of dream interpretation, mostly to the need to leave the past behind and go your own way, and to a period having now closed. In the tradition marriage is also interpreted as Allah's grace and reaching good; so the dream may point to a new and good page opening both in your ex's life and in yours. The feeling you had in the dream is the most important clue to its meaning.
