    Es geht nur "who" (oder eventuell "that").
    A couple = two people, therefore "which" is not possible (being only used for things).

    Unterstütze Dr Jane - "who" geht, "that" nur unter Umständen, "which" geht nicht.

    The "couple" is inanimate, but it didn't get married. The two people who comprise it got married, so you want "who" (and a plural verb, if applicable).

    So: The couple who are getting married tomorrow...

    "I met a recently-married couple" is also an option.
