Was it when your character was fully maxed out and ready to retire?

..or was it as soon as you possibly could so you were able to use your new married home as a base to store your loot?

I'm still yet to get married in Skyrim. I've just never found the right time to do it, but with Hearthfire now out for PS3 I'm pretty tempted to ''tie the knot'' and build a home for me and my family.

Feel free to mention which NPC you actually married, it'll be interesting to see who is the most popular choice! xD

Well
30
24
12
50
63
there you go, first character to last, names of spouses are irrelevant

Nyx, my Dunmer: L42. She's now L45, and nearing retirement.
My Imperial is L65 and still single, but will likely marry before he hits 66. He sent his housecarl to the Blades and doesn't want to leave his beloved Honeyside, but needs someone to look after Runa and her soon to be adopted brother (Samuel or Hroar).
My Nord is L24, and intended to marry Marcurio, before he volunteered to be her steward. Can your steward still do his job if you marry him? If so, she'll probably tie the knot soon.

Of my remaining characters, none have plans to marry at this juncture. My Redguard likes chillin' with his homies too much, my Altmer's got scores to settle (assuming I even bother with him; non-Illusion mages are hard to keep alive), and my Khajiit is holding out for a marriable female of his own race.
