How to Marry in Skyrim: A Step-by-Step Guide

The fantasy world of Skyrim has stolen the hearts of millions with its rich history, vivid landscapes, and thrilling battles. But have you ever considered tying the knot in the frozen wilderness? If yes, then you’ve landed at the right place. In this article, we’ll guide you through the process of getting hitched in the vast province of Skyrim.

What do you need to marry?

Before diving into the nitty-gritties of marriage, you should know that marriage in Skyrim is a sacred union that requires a series of interactions with the Temple of Mara. To get started, make sure you’ve joined the Companions of Whiterun or married Adril Arano at least once. Once you’ve completed these steps, the Temple of Mara in Riften will become available.

How to Propose

To propose, approach the priest, Maramal, in the Temple of Mara. Engage in a conversation with him, and select the topic "Marriage". Choose the option to get engaged, and a cutscene will play showcasing the scenic views of Riften’s canals. Make sure to have enough gold as the engagement costs 2,000 Septims.

Ways to Get Married

Romantic Wedding
Approach Maramal in the Temple of Mara again, and select the "Marry" option. Make sure you’re within a 24-hour timeframe (approximately) of proposing or the ceremony will fail.

Unromantic Ceremony
If you can’t wait for the formal proposal, you can approach an NPC you wish to marry and initiate the dialogue sequence. Choose the option "Marry me!" The NPC will automatically join your party, and the Temple of Mara will contact Maramal, facilitating a quick ceremony.
