Cuz [censored]es in Skyrim don't groom themselves, YES THE CURTAINS MATCH THE DraqeS, AND ITS A FOREST DOWN THERE

There is no romance in this game. Bethesda's marriage option has absolutely no romance involved. You have a companion who you marry then you get the you wake up in the comfort of your lover's arms. Where's the romance in that. The only good thing about it is that they won't leave even if you leave them home.

First time my wife moved in, I went to do some alchemy, and she comes in and sits right next to the table. "Yes my love? Yes my love? Yes my love? Yes my love?"
This marriage is SUFFOCATING ME.

I find the whole in-game marriage thing pointless, but if I had to choose, it'd be Angi, the archer trainer.The character fits with the game. The location fits with the game.

I nearly coughed up a lung laughing at that.

I didn't think there was much choice either. My male character married Aela the Huntress, but he knew he wanted to marry her the first time they met. Aww.

Yes I have seen and met many Swedish women and Norwegians as well.

This is what Aela looks like with the warpaint removed via the console:

And Azura, I mean k, it's only a statue, but there has to be a way.... *starts thinking*

Also regarding real marriage options: Mjoll and Aela, the camouflage makes them only hotter!

Having Lisette call me "my love" daily is very pleasant

I know you're talking aesthetics, but I'm in the camp where if they were a bit more fleshed out then maybe my character would feel something for a character and then marry them - male or female. But there's nothing really.

I was hoping to marry Olfina Gray-Mane because she is NIce to look at like the platinum hair and she's always seems so angry i like that.
"Whats wrong cant handle a real nord woman?"

Can I get some Olfina Grey-Mane up in here?

if you are on pc you can marry anyone you want

The only hot woman in this game are the ones who can swing a sword and shoot straight with a bow, they're totally useless for anything else, one hot meal a day huh?, my character can hunt and cook.

This.

Aela seemed somewhat fleshed out, but the moment you marry her, she becomes a sedentary home decoration I can sell things to or a fight liability. And opening a shop?(In my home?) She's a hunter, why did she suddenly decide her years of hunting make for good business experience?

Stereotypes. Stereotypes everywhere.

I'll stand by my statement in another thread, Bethesda turned yellow on the marriage thing, they didn't want to put the frighteners on their new audience, and certainly some old timers.

jesus bring back the warpaint!

Good one man, hahaha.

I will not get married in this game until Lisette becomes an option. She's just that sixy.

This happens to be my opinion as well. I wanted to help Ysolda start her inn and fulfill her dreams

At least it would've been something else to spend my money on!

The repetitive "My Love" always gets somewhat creepy after a while. Especially when your husband is a male orc.

There's an extremely attractive bard/waitress in Dawnstar. I was really upset when I found out she wasn't available, even though all she does is work day and night.

On my first character, a female warrior, I chose Aela. When you first meet her, she's way out of your league, being a leader of the companions. Not only that, she's such an untamed spirit, not even the leader of the companions could rein her in as she relentlessly hunts down the Silver Hand.\

But at the conclusion of the Companions arc, you're made the new leader, and she's now available. So I married her and now she cooks for me, runs a store, and still finds time to accompany me on my adventures. I tamed Aela the Huntress!

Oh and it's really convenient to ask her for a mission, bring her along for the kill, so she'll be right there for you to hand it in when it's done, and then ask for the next one, and rinse and repeat.

Why marry if you have a housegurl. And she hardly says a word. Perfect.
