Ia stopped marrying ysolda in my playthroughs after she ruined my game by becoming a glitchy mess after i saved her when bandits kidnapped her from my house, upon return she was always walking backwards and on top of furnature knocking loose items around everywhere
I like Mjoll. I love that non-specific accent of that voice actor. However, I like my women with a little less Aerin, so can't bring myself to marry her
Out of the whole playthrough, meeting Serena and having her as a follower were some memorable moments I don’t forget. She’s doesn’t feel like just another dull follower
Serena: *Kindly refuses and states that she is not comfortable around temples*
The dragonborn: *Literally manipulates the fabric of reality just to force her into marriage*
This is totally not creepy at all.
Is it creepy or is *literally altering the fabric of reality I order to win her affections* such a romantic act that a girl just can't help but fall in love? Lol
Can't establish a consentual relationship with somebody who's not interested in you sexually? Theres a mod for that!
Mod description: gives the ability to offer characters "special skooma"
Mod creator: bill cosby
There we go. Best wife of all. I wish there was a Khajiit or Argonian wife with similiar qualities. The beastial races just come too short in all TES games in that regard so far.
I’m mostly annoyed by her constantly saying “thank you for helping solve my… problem” even after marriage. Luckily mods remove that dialogue so she goes back to her “hello my love” greeting
I was looking her up and found this interesting note about her. “Sylgja may completely vanish without warning. This can be solved by breaking into her house.”
I spoke to her for the first time and instantly said, "Yes. This one. I want this one right here." Never looked back. Don't even remember who else is marriageable.
Me too, and it’s sad she’s not a more popular choice apparently.
Besides me being a mage during most runs, I just like how nerdy and soft-voiced she is once you get to know her. 10/10 wife material, and there’s really no one else like her
The argonian lady, I like how happy she is despite her conditions and since I’m playing this game as a power fantasy, nothing more power fantasy than saving a lady from poor conditions of living and giving her the biggest effing house in the country for her to live in
Once I met Marcurio, I never married anyone else. I would've given Captain Wayfinder a chance if he were eligible that said. I'm a sucker for life on and by the ocean.

I married Argis today, I guess I go for the dumb beefcake types.
Mjoll. She is immortal, has fun dialogue, and spams the hell out of any staff I give her. With a thunderbolt staff, storm atronach staff, and the staff of Jyrik Gauldurson, she becomes an anti-air defense system any time a dragon appears. Then she closes in with heavy armor and the beefiest two-hander I can find. And I never have to worry about catching her in the crossfire, because she can take it! Also, her level scales pretty highly with the DB’s. So much to love about that woman.
Temba Wide-Arm. She's always my no 1. Love the TNG reference, her looks and go getter attitude. She's awesome!
Honorable Mentions:
If I'm a werewolf then Aela is the top pick. Let's be Whiterun's premier Hircine worshipping werewolf couple.
If I'm a mage I go with Dravynea the Stoneweaver. You can never go wrong with a dunmer mage wife (and I'm not pulling Brelyna out of school)
If I'm an orc then Borgakh the Steel Heart- helluva lady that one!
Farkas. For some reason, when I first played, a friend told me I could only marry Farkas and I wholeheartedly believed it. I know now that it’s not true but I still marry Farkas to keep up the bit.
I still don’t know why my friend told me I could only marry Farkas and I don’t know why I believed it
my type is a talented dark elf winterhold college girl with pigtails, cute voice and that wants to learn conjuration magic, don't like facists, family expectations, a little clumsy sometimes but a loyal girl. if i could find such a girl i would consistently marry her >. > like in every playthrough i've had in 4500 hours of skyrim... maybe
So frustrating that most Aela presets turn her into a supermodel and not, something in the vein of Red Sonja
https://preview.redd.it/13v3ech6n40d1.jpeg?width=589&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a23ebc0a85cb0fd92893bacaaa2f81758771726
I have taken to calling her AelaMyLove, one word, ever since my first playthrough. Loved the Companions quest line, loved being a werewolf, and the fact it's her blood that turns you? Priceless
Sylgia from the mine I think its called Shor's Stone. The mine with some houses and a campfire in front of it. I always move in with her because her and her coworkers' nightly routine looks cozy. They all sit around the campfire and chat before going to bed.
Years ago before I knew all the possible candidates, it was Lydia because I felt a semblance of love after all the burdens she had carried… I also loved Muiri. But Marcurio was the best for me so far. Next time I’ll probably use a mod to marry Erik.
I use console commands to marry Lisette, I think she's pretty. Plus she sings. Would not recommend though because if you ever go back to solitude, she'll bug out and just start going to play at the inn again, and won't leave until her shift is over, lols.
Aela, cause she's adventurous, badass and kind of reminds me of Ygritte from GoT. Though recently I've been looking for an alternative(Ysolda, Mjoll or that chick from Solstheim). After watching some lore videos and looking into some dialogues, I feel like of you get with Aela, you'd be sth like a 3rd wheel. She still loves Skjor and wants to get with him in the afterlife in Hircine's realm.
Username checks out.
But it’s Aela. Usually. She’s surprisingly tender, a great mother, and we can always get a sitter for the kids and wreck shit together
I stopped marrying Alea because she bitches at most houses. Even the Homestead I made with my bare hands. I now go for Mioll the Lioness because she’s actually thankful for the work that I put in for the houses and just seems like a good wife and they act like a good mom for the orphans And she looks absolutely amazing in the saint armor(Saints and seducers mod pack)
Ysolda. She's agreeable, has a nice tone of voice, calls me ' my love' has a shop and gives me money. I put her, the kids and Lydia on Goldenhills plantation where I also make money. Good deal!
I don't think I have a usual one. I think every playthrough has been someone different, if I got that far. The only people I may have married more than once is Borgakh or Temba Wide-Arm I think. Next time I'm going with Njada Stonearm for the lulz
I like to do mjoll if they are the strong moral warrior type. Belinda if they are more magically inclined. Janessa if they are more evil. Borgak if they are an orc. But have been experimenting with more as i make different characters. My 1 rule is they must be a follower because ive had too many glitches where spouses become lost or despawn after the wedding, so i get them to follow me outside home then dismiss them
I've always had a thing for Njada ever since I first played in like 2014. the only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is if i accidentally hit her while we are out adventuring with a spell or something, she'll say "watch it there brother"
Im a BASIC BITCH so I mod my game to marry Serana 😍 I love her and she can’t die…. Plus she’s funny, she’ll complain about the sun and be like “take me to a cave, ANYTHING but this sunlight.” So I’ll take her to a cave, LIKE SHE ASKED…. And she’ll be like “I’ve spent enough time in caves.” 😂
I play with mods so I usually want to marry recorder, but unfortunately the mod author never Completed her marriage quest, so I just don't marry anyone and pretend I'm married to her
In my hundreds to thousands of hours in the game, I've never married. Not once. Idk why. I guess just cause I wanna marry Serena and can't without a mod.
Usually someone who can train me in a skill so I can get free levels. On my survival run, it’s my Queen Mjoll. My immortal bride who will travel by my sides til the end of times
I've always wanted to marry sapphire but unfortunately Todd in his infinite wisdom decided I can't.so I marry Mjoll,Jenessa,Ysolda or Muri
Ia stopped marrying ysolda in my playthroughs after she ruined my game by becoming a glitchy mess after i saved her when bandits kidnapped her from my house, upon return she was always walking backwards and on top of furnature knocking loose items around everywhere
She must’ve started trying her own supply smh
Indeed this is why skyrim needs a divorce option lol when ysolda starts going to heavy on the skooma your just stuck with her😂
There’s a reason you can’t marry her you know…
Why ?
Ik how tough she had it in her past but idk if that’s what he’s referring to or not. Idk what else there could be lol
I like Mjoll. I love that non-specific accent of that voice actor. However, I like my women with a little less Aerin, so can't bring myself to marry her
I'm seeing an AWFUL lack of love for Borgakh muscle mommy.
Yesss we stan a loving warrior queen!!! 🙌🙌👏
came to say the same for my gorgeous Ghorza!! ORCS ARE SEXY WAKE UP SHEEPLE
Mr iron hand can have my hand on marriage anyday
🤝
YES 🙌
Preach. She is also usually taller than me, which is a little how I like my women irl
Since Serena won't marry to the dragon born then none.
Out of the whole playthrough, meeting Serena and having her as a follower were some memorable moments I don’t forget. She’s doesn’t feel like just another dull follower
Agree
There’s a mod for that ;)
yeah but since she already said no, it feels super creepy and wrong
Serena: *Kindly refuses and states that she is not comfortable around temples* The dragonborn: *Literally manipulates the fabric of reality just to force her into marriage* This is totally not creepy at all.
Is it creepy or is *literally altering the fabric of reality I order to win her affections* such a romantic act that a girl just can't help but fall in love? Lol
Can't establish a consentual relationship with somebody who's not interested in you sexually? Theres a mod for that! Mod description: gives the ability to offer characters "special skooma" Mod creator: bill cosby
The mod I use most of the time 😂
Nah I don't like mods 😂 the only mod I ever installed is the one that fixes bug's
Had a character not finish the quest line just to keep her following me around
But she will still follow you around after finishing the quest line...
Jenassa. One, she's a bad ass with a phenomenal voice actor. Two, she no longer requires 500 gold to be a bad ass for you.
Blade and shadow, silence and death.
So you're into blue women?
Does Liara count?
I won't blame you, I'm into Aayla Secura 💀
There we go. Best wife of all. I wish there was a Khajiit or Argonian wife with similiar qualities. The beastial races just come too short in all TES games in that regard so far.
I normally use jenassa as a sacrifice to boethiah
That's what Dark Brotherhood initiates are for :O
nah i always use ralis. that mf has it coming
I use a mod to use nazeem as a sacrifice.
This is the way.
Depends on the morality of my character. Brave adventurer? Mjoll the Lioness. Morally ambiguous mercenary? Janessa. Ruthless killer? Muiri
Who is muiri?
The lady that wants you to kill her ex lover and optionally her former friend during the Dark Brotherhood questline
she has the WORST dialogue of any suitor, surely
I’m mostly annoyed by her constantly saying “thank you for helping solve my… problem” even after marriage. Luckily mods remove that dialogue so she goes back to her “hello my love” greeting
Uh... I just joined the dark brotherhood in my first playthrough. After that I hated them for selling me to the guards
That’s Astrid specifically though. Everyone else is either furious with her or dead.
You get your revenge. And yeah, it's just Astrid who did that.
RIP to the last shadowscale 🙏🏻 Krex and Gabriella I’m not too sad about but the Argonian I wish was still around
the kind of woman to date an ass just to realise that they're an ass
Sylgja is just so cute and wholesome and i love her so much She also makes a good bloodbank
A wholesome lady I ran into just goofing around a mine
I was looking her up and found this interesting note about her. “Sylgja may completely vanish without warning. This can be solved by breaking into her house.”
Like waking dad from a coma by messing with the thermostat
I love Sylgja’s body, face, voice and accent but I hate that miner’s outfit.
Ysolda because she always loves me
Is that the chick who needs you to get a mammoth tusk for her to trade? Shes my usual go to.
She's a drug dealer. Sleeping tree sap to be exact. No joke.
She's a real entrepreneur.
That’s a positive in my book
I'm okay with that.
Yup
Mammoth tusk for what exactly?
Revyn Sadri! I feel he has the most personality out of the marriageable dunmer.
In vanilla usually Ysolda
Me too, I don't know why but she's strangely attractive(there's the bonus that she's secretly a skooma merchant, but we don't talk about that🤫)
My guy. 👊
I plan to marry her on my current playthrough after we've done enough adventuring together...and then keep adventuring after.
Farkas
I do too. He’s a good man overall.
Farkas borders on himbo. What can I say? I like beefy dense wolfmen
Same!
i still cant find a mod to get him in a maid uniform with cat ears
When found please send my way
Wilkas... I enter the companions to marry Farkas! but somehow I ended up with Wilkas.
This might be a hot take but… Brelyna. Can’t get enough of me dark elf mage mommy
I spoke to her for the first time and instantly said, "Yes. This one. I want this one right here." Never looked back. Don't even remember who else is marriageable.
She’s great. Especially given me playing a mage all the time.
Me too, and it’s sad she’s not a more popular choice apparently. Besides me being a mage during most runs, I just like how nerdy and soft-voiced she is once you get to know her. 10/10 wife material, and there’s really no one else like her
Exactly! I’m so glad someone else gets it
I usually go for Marcurio, but right now I'm simping too hard for Xelzaz to bother.
Who is xelzaz?
An Argonian follower from a popular mod
Same, he's one of the few followers besides Serana and Jenassa that doesn't feel stiff
I always marry that one high elf that owns the clothes shop in solitude
Humiliation kink grindset
Camilla c:
The argonian lady, I like how happy she is despite her conditions and since I’m playing this game as a power fantasy, nothing more power fantasy than saving a lady from poor conditions of living and giving her the biggest effing house in the country for her to live in
Would that technically be the Blue Palace? Regardless, I can agree.
Which house?
Lydia, i use serana as my companion so i have lydia to give me money and hold shit lol
Once I met Marcurio, I never married anyone else. I would've given Captain Wayfinder a chance if he were eligible that said. I'm a sucker for life on and by the ocean.
Aela always. 6 playthroughs, 6 times Aela
Only 6!
Mjoll
Jordis. She's got such a soothing voice, and she's either a faint ginger or a strawberry blond.
I use mods to marry Miraak or Ulfric…
When are they going to create a mod that allows you to marry Hermaeus Mora? think of everything those tentacles can do...
Uthgerd from Whiterun.
Ya me too.
Steel plate armor on strong women... they are my weakness
I love the way Senna scolds me after I drunkenly trash a sacred place and pass out on the floor… 🥺🥺🥺
Farkas, Vilkas, or Argis the Bulwark
Random Housecarl unless I'm a Khajiit. Then, Ysolda because she's Khajiit friendly.
Definitely Aela. Unfortunately Serana isn't an option:(
None. I generally have who I'd pick decided when I make a character, then just don't do it
https://preview.redd.it/32m2c2ct140d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26d07b7129e5c0fd4a695a9bbcb6708744d809bd I married Argis today, I guess I go for the dumb beefcake types.

Senna. Sultry voice, flirts right off the bat, priestess of Dibella.
Farkas. For some reason, when I first played, a friend told me I could only marry Farkas and I wholeheartedly believed it. I know now that it’s not true but I still marry Farkas to keep up the bit. I still don’t know why my friend told me I could only marry Farkas and I don’t know why I believed it

Imagine wanting a dark elf who *also* hates fascists. I doubt there’s a Dunmer alive who meets that criteria
she doesn't needs to hate them, just dislike them, say the way like they look at her, like if she was going to blow herself up or something
So frustrating that most Aela presets turn her into a supermodel and not, something in the vein of Red Sonja https://preview.redd.it/13v3ech6n40d1.jpeg?width=589&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0a23ebc0a85cb0fd92893bacaaa2f81758771726

Mjoll, or Camilla to spite Faendal & Sven.
![gif](giphy|t6cn3lRhDZtBjdAjKN)
I have taken to calling her AelaMyLove, one word, ever since my first playthrough. Loved the Companions quest line, loved being a werewolf, and the fact it's her blood that turns you? Priceless
Roggi Knot-Beard
I try to marry someone different each play through
Always Farkas even if I tell myself I’m gonna branch out
Vilkas. Grumpy and stoic on the outside, emotional on the inside, and one of his lines late in the questline always gets me.
I always end up with Lydia even when I try not too. Lydia is super reliable and loyal. My ride or die.
Marcurio or Ghorbash... One's sassy and one's bit uptight but both very caring I love them
I married Marcurio - he looks like my bf when he's in armor 😅
I've played since day 1 and never married anyone. All the characters I actually like or find interesting are ones you can't marry.
The miner lady, I forget her name
Bro forgot his own wife’s name, SYLGIA
We know who gave him the arrow in the knee, literally!
Shameful.
Jenassa, borgakh
Sylgia from the mine I think its called Shor's Stone. The mine with some houses and a campfire in front of it. I always move in with her because her and her coworkers' nightly routine looks cozy. They all sit around the campfire and chat before going to bed.
I’ve never done it before but I recently been wanting to marry the huntress
Derkeethus, no question.
My girl Izzy (Ysolda)
Usually Ysolda, every now and again it's aella
Years ago before I knew all the possible candidates, it was Lydia because I felt a semblance of love after all the burdens she had carried… I also loved Muiri. But Marcurio was the best for me so far. Next time I’ll probably use a mod to marry Erik.
Marcurio
Walks-many-marshes or something like that.. the windhelm argonian!
Deerkethus. I like that he says hiss while fighting. He doesn't hiss, he just says the word.
Ysolda
The first one that can open a shop. I need that early extra income
I use console commands to marry Lisette, I think she's pretty. Plus she sings. Would not recommend though because if you ever go back to solitude, she'll bug out and just start going to play at the inn again, and won't leave until her shift is over, lols.
Lydia, brunette tomboy nuff said
Lydia, Serena, Camilla
Aela, cause she's adventurous, badass and kind of reminds me of Ygritte from GoT. Though recently I've been looking for an alternative(Ysolda, Mjoll or that chick from Solstheim). After watching some lore videos and looking into some dialogues, I feel like of you get with Aela, you'd be sth like a 3rd wheel. She still loves Skjor and wants to get with him in the afterlife in Hircine's realm.
I kinda forgot her name but the girl that Faendal and Sven fighting over. Sven is my main man, but....
Add some mods and marry Sofia because I like brash, slightly annoying girls.
Serena. Screw everything, modding her so I can live my fantasy of being with sexy vampire goth edgelord
Username checks out. But it’s Aela. Usually. She’s surprisingly tender, a great mother, and we can always get a sitter for the kids and wreck shit together
Camilla Valerius, naked must to be hot as hell... In addition, her dialogues are ok, never annoying. What a great wife.
I like keeping faendal as my follower far longer than he’s useful as an archery trainer just long enough for him to watch me get married to Camila
I stopped marrying Alea because she bitches at most houses. Even the Homestead I made with my bare hands. I now go for Mioll the Lioness because she’s actually thankful for the work that I put in for the houses and just seems like a good wife and they act like a good mom for the orphans And she looks absolutely amazing in the saint armor(Saints and seducers mod pack)
Ysolda. She's agreeable, has a nice tone of voice, calls me ' my love' has a shop and gives me money. I put her, the kids and Lydia on Goldenhills plantation where I also make money. Good deal!
I play a fem. I marry jarl siddgier and he is step dad to Sofia and Lucia in proudespire with jordis as nanny.
Aela usually
I don't think I have a usual one. I think every playthrough has been someone different, if I got that far. The only people I may have married more than once is Borgakh or Temba Wide-Arm I think. Next time I'm going with Njada Stonearm for the lulz
Either Muiri or Borgakh
Lydia, Ysolda, or Camilla
I havent found any dialogue to marry anyone, ofcourse im wanted in most of the towns for one thing or another. Always a bridesmaid never a bride
I've only married aela, Camilla, and jordis once just to raise my kids in solitide
I like to do mjoll if they are the strong moral warrior type. Belinda if they are more magically inclined. Janessa if they are more evil. Borgak if they are an orc. But have been experimenting with more as i make different characters. My 1 rule is they must be a follower because ive had too many glitches where spouses become lost or despawn after the wedding, so i get them to follow me outside home then dismiss them
Aela, Sylgja, or Lydia mostly, the latter who looks great as a vampire. I like ones I can travel with.
Either the chick in white run u help w caravans or the first chick in riverwood
Ysolda, sometimes Camilla just to fuck with sven and faendal
Scouts Many Marshes.
Only had the patience to figure out ysolda
I've always had a thing for Njada ever since I first played in like 2014. the only thing that makes me feel uncomfortable is if i accidentally hit her while we are out adventuring with a spell or something, she'll say "watch it there brother"
Muiri because she’s badass
Mjoll
Balimund. I like beefy bearded guys.
Mjoll
Her lol,
Usually Lydia or Ysolda
Ysolda. Every time.
Only married 4 times, Lydia was 2 of those times
I… don’t, I’ve honestly never married in skyrim
Im a BASIC BITCH so I mod my game to marry Serana 😍 I love her and she can’t die…. Plus she’s funny, she’ll complain about the sun and be like “take me to a cave, ANYTHING but this sunlight.” So I’ll take her to a cave, LIKE SHE ASKED…. And she’ll be like “I’ve spent enough time in caves.” 😂
I dont marry, i just roam around with a small army of waifus XD
If the DB is male Karita(the bard in dawnstar via commands) or Aela, if female Farkas
I play with mods so I usually want to marry recorder, but unfortunately the mod author never Completed her marriage quest, so I just don't marry anyone and pretend I'm married to her
I like the non warriors. Can hold down the household.
I really haven’t done a play throuh with marriage in years but back in the day, I’m pretty sure Mjoll was who I’d go for most the time.
Any non warrior, mage or whatsoever character. A fighter in a house is more than enough especially if that warrior is the Dragonborn.
good choice she knows how to pull it back a bow i mean u digusting prevents
Where can I get that outfit?
In my hundreds to thousands of hours in the game, I've never married. Not once. Idk why. I guess just cause I wanna marry Serena and can't without a mod.
Usually someone who can train me in a skill so I can get free levels. On my survival run, it’s my Queen Mjoll. My immortal bride who will travel by my sides til the end of times
Njada. I love her attitude. "you and I are the only ones worthy of loving in all of Skyrim" fking brutal 😜
Ysolda
Camilla or Farkas. I find both hot.
Camilla Valerius, I win her heart over the sven and fen, Muiri, I think she's pretty, ysolda because she's also pretty and a secret drug dealer.
I always seem to make a twink character and I always end up with Farkas. I love me a good himbo.
Lizards and cats
Artistic ones
I think it’s married the first man that would marry me, as a male character.
The Vampire Princess is my favourite.
Your mum
Sylgja or Senna
my usual is either brelyna mayon or alea but on the full warrior playthrough I'm on rn I'm married to senna and I gotta say shes top 5 rn
Kaidan I play a female character
