What's the correct form?

I'm gonna going to get married next year
or
I'm gonna going to marry next year (I don't like this form unless you say 'we are going to marry next year' that is, unless you include the other person)

'Marry' is a verb with two forms, transitive and intransitive.

1. (transitive) A priest will marry you two.

2. (intransitive) You two will marry next year. You will be married by a priest in a church next year.

Both are correct. When you use "gonna" or "going to," it is always followed with a verb.

gonna get

gonna marry

You have to remember that the word "gonna" is just a colloquial term to make English pronunciation easier. It is not applicable in standard written English.

Cheers!

What's the correct form?

"Gonna" is poor English. I really advise that you don't ever use it. It makes the writer look a little dumb.

I'm going to get married next year = I plan to marry next year

I'm going to be merry next year = I plan to be happy (=merry) next year

I'm going to... means a future prediction based on present evidence.

Here are the other options:

I'm getting married next year = this is an arrangement

I am to be married next year = an expectation. Other people expect or suppose that you will marry.

I'm going to be married next year = this is fine and possible; it means someone will marry you, or a priest/celebrant will perform the ceremony (another meaning of to marry). Thus the old joke of how a priest can marry hundreds of people, but still remain celibate and single.

Hope that helps. Future form is not as "neat" as past and present form, but there's only a few grammatical constructions. :)
