Here's how to tie the knot:
-
Find Maramal in Riften: Head to the Temple of Mara in Riften. You'll find Maramal, the priest, either there or giving a speech at the Bee and Barb pub. Talk to him about marriage.
-
Acquire the Amulet of Mara: This magic amulet is key. You can buy one from Maramal for 200 gold, complete a quest for him called "The Book of Love," find one randomly in loot, or grab one from the Lovers Tent north of Dawnstar (near the Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary).
-
Equip the Amulet and Find Your Love: Wear the Amulet of Mara. This unlocks marriage dialogue with potential spouses. However, there's usually a catch. Most characters require you to complete a personal quest for them first. Be sure to build up your affection with them too!
-
Pop the Question: Once you've won their heart (and completed their quest), chat with your sweetheart while wearing the Amulet. If all goes well, a marriage proposal option will appear.
-
Arrange the Ceremony: Head back to Maramal in Riften. He'll be happy to officiate the wedding, which takes place the next day between dawn and dusk. Just wait at the temple until then.
-
Say "I Do" Attend your wedding ceremony and exchange vows. Congratulations, you're married!
There you have it, a Skyrim wedding! Remember, some spouses offer benefits like opening a shop or training you in skills. Happy adventuring together!
