It would be much more difficult to code it so that if you're a male character, you can only marry a female, and if you're a female character, you can only marry a male, etc.

What I want to know is...are the marriages rather open-ended? Or is there only a select group of characters you can marry? For example...can I marry the daughter of the argumentative farmworkers from Ivarstead?

no there is a short (i wouldn't exactly call it short) list. check out the marriage guide for a complete list. if you are on the pc, you can use the console to marry whoever you want though.

[McGoogles]

Aela the Huntress.

[metallicorphan]

I saw who i wanted to marry today,infact my eyes nearly popped out when i saw her,i think it was the split on the side of her skirt running right to the top of her legs that made me go 'why hellloooo'

Unfortunately,she was killed during a side quest(Laid To Rest)

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

turned out she was a Vampire Alva from Morthal

She wears some sexy clothes too. That´s why I married her.

The thing is it might in someway have been done in support of homosexual marriage, but anyone else get odd responses from same sex players while unmarried wearing the amulet ?

Subtle little comments from npc's like you need to go look elsewhere for that kind of thing.

I'm a Khajit, so all I get is...

"Keep away from me...cat!"
"Hands to yourself, sneak-theif!"
"Who let YOU into the city?"

[Afro Ninja]

Aela, Is it me or is she kind of sexy?

[EMP]

Ysolda in whiterun, Lydia is my side squeeze.

[MewMew]

Haven't gotten married yet but I plan to marry Shahvee, the female Argonian at the docks outside of Windhelm. Let her get out of the cold docks and into a nice warm house, improve her situation a little. ^_^

Short enough. I know there aren't many Khajiits in Skyrim, but it would be nice to have ONE as a possible marriage partner. Saw a rather handsome Khajiit when I started the Mage's College quests. I wouldn't mind having him, but no luck of course.

[charlestonciv]

I'm torn between aela (because a lot of you guys seem to like her) and muiri in markarth (she looks the hottest to me).

biggest decision my character will make and im stuck so i dunno who to pick lol

[metallicorphan]

Aela The Huntress for me

I will have to have a talk with her about most of you lot claiming to be married to her as well


Also,she sets up a shop in your home,and i looked through what she had and saw that her Wedding Ring was for sale


Not a good sign

[Giblets 2000]

Marriage in this game should be more realistic. After spending several game months with your follower, you'd get drunk on alto wine and a message comes up explaining 'an error has occurred' at which point the game would force you to get married. You would have ceremony that would cost you three quarters of all your gold. You then wouldn't ever be able to afford a house so move into one in the dodgiest part of Skyrim and have to pay a quarter of your gold every game month to keep a roof over your head. Some novice thieves in the neighbourhood steal your horse and set light to it in a disused dungeon. Your wife slowly turns into an ice wraith.

One day you'd return after a hard day's questing to find your wife drunk on Nordic mead and all your armour and weapons on the street in front of your house. Apparently you've been spending too much time with that new housecarl and your wife wants to leave you. She also takes your dog companion. She immediately takes half your gold and for the rest of the game you have to pay a quarter of your gold every game month to pay for 'the upkeep of your dog', which by the way the Jaarl will only let you see every other weekend. The ex-wife moves in with a redguard named Steve who apparently understands her needs.

Game over

[FangtasticBite]

I married Ysolda. (She was the first to ask) I think we got of to a bad start when the day after our wedding I went out with Sam got drunk and nearly ended up married to someone else (a hagraven that was apparently both male and female!?)... to make things worse is was Ysolda who sold me the wedding ring... also I think she became suspicious when I started going out with Lydia our housecarl every night. To top things of she wasn’t at all supportive of my ‘condition’ when she walked into our room with Lydia asleep in our bed and me leaning over her neck she flipped out and came at me with a knife…

Things are much better now she comes with me every where and doesn’t talk as much except for the odd grunt every now and again. I am worried about Lydia now tho. Since I stopped taking her out she just sits in the corner of my room all day every day staring at my collection of various warriors I have collected on my travels around Skyrim …

[DoosMakhina]

Ysolda for me too... purely because she was the woman i was engaged to in that quest where you get rather drunk. Moved her into Whiterun with Lydia... disliked how Lydia had her own room yet would always sit at the table in your bedroom (yes, I'm that picky) so took her out into the middle of nowhere and sacrificed her to my Ebony Blade.

[Matt36]

The sister/wife of the shop owner is Riverwood keeps flirting with me, I'll marry her. The little minx.

[GrimSovereignty]

Aela, she just happened to be the only person I could think of when I got the amulet lol

[Matt36]

Where can I get the amulet? :$

[ChickinOnaChain]

I married Aela but I feel kind of bad, since it's like caging a wild bird. She's a warrior, not a "homemaker". Still, I liked her looks!

You can get the amulet of Mara from a guy called Maramal, he can be found at either the Bee and Barb or the Temple of Mara in Riften. It costs 200 gold.

[Matt36]

Oooft, expensive

[GrimSovereignty]

Also you can get lucky and just find it in a random chest, I found it in a shipwreck

[Matt36]

I'm never that lucky

[Miss Psychotic Unicorn]

You could steal that amount easily ! Just wear the amulet and talk to someone you have previously helped (can be male or female) and there should be the option of asking "are you interested in me?" to that person.

[Matt36]

I was kidding, I've over 250k in gold

[Miss Psychotic Unicorn]

wow, took me forever to get that Golden Touch cheevo

[Matt36]

Haha was easy

[Miss Psychotic Unicorn]

I didn't realise i could actually *sell* items until my mate pointed it out to me. Spent the first 15 hours of play through just dropping everything when it got to heavy. I felt like such a noob when i found out lol ...

[Matt36]

I'm not going to lie...I laughed a lot when I read that ^

[Miss Psychotic Unicorn]

yeah, i suck big time at skyrim

[JimL2112]

I'm a male Nord, and I married Camilla from Riverwood. She's the only one who asked if I was interested. Other girls saw my Amulet of Mara and said stuff like, "It's always a good day with you around." Always the friend, never the lover, DOH! Camilla will not go on quests with me though, and my net gain is only 100gp/day never 1000gp

EDIT: Next playthrough I want to be an elven woman, and I'm going to be a lesbian and try to get Anska [High Gate Ruins quest] to marry me -- hubba hubba! I think her skimpy outfit is appealing plus she is a kick-a$$ mage. Then, if I can get her to just give me her clothing she can walk around my house in her yellow bra and panties LOL, if she won't, then I shall kill her for her clothing! Must... have... that... outfit!
