Your Skyrim Spouse

[BunBun299]

Who is your spouse in Skyrim? And why?

My main character and my vampire character both married Mjoll the Lioness. With my main character, Mjoll just seemed to have so much more personality than other Followers I experimented with. Having different things to say all the time, even if she did repeat some of them a tad much. And I greatly prefer a love interest who can share in the adventure.

For my vampire character, I was originally going to marry Aela the Huntress, but then I learned that Dawnguard added the option for those on the vampire side to turn their spouses into vampires, and that Aela was one of the few who could not be turned, for obvious reasons. And then I remembered that Mjoll is essential, and I fell in love with the idea of having an immortal vampire wife. The conversion does nothing except add a one time dialog acknowledging it, but I decided to simulate further vampire power by making her axe absorb health and giving her a staff of zombies.

If I ever get back to him, my Khajiit character will propose to Aela, since they share interests like Lycanthrope and Archery.

I love Jenassa. I have different spouses for different characters, but Jenassa is my all-time favorite. She has a great voice, says interesting things, and looks hawt in vamp armor and forsworn headdress.

[Witchery]

My Breton is still spouseless, but my Nord is married to Camilla Valerius.

[CBR JGWRR]

My altmer main hasn't married since she wants a male altmer to have his way with her, and there aren't any marriable altmer men in Skyrim. Her first, and IIRC only choice if she had access to the console would be Legate Fasendil, as Ondolemar is Thalmor. And bald, but that's less important...

But she doesn't, so it's either single, have her way with Taarie and learn to bat for the other side, or marry a nord and condemn herself to centuries of widowhood when he passes on to Sovngarde, and he boasts of his conquests of the most powerful woman who ever lived* in the Halls of Shor over a mug of the finest ale...

* in all probability...


My dunmer Dead is dead woman Miaren also wound up bedding Jenassa, first as a fellow dunmer to protect her on her travels, growing into being girlfriends, and then proposing to her on a bench under the starlit sky in the shade of the branches of the blossoming Gildergreen which they had restored together, wearing nothing but an amulet of Mara and some boots, switching to the blue/white fine clothes for the big day in Riften.


My Khajiit martial arts/destruction mage is suffering the pain of solitude, with no female khajiit to settle down and have many kittens with...
Still, he is at least slowly showing the nords that not all khajiit are thieves, and that some are epic enough to take down 3 giants, 5 mammoths and a dragon at the same time with nothing but his fists, his blue mage robes and iron boots of hauling. (and healing/fast healing...) That was a bloody tough fight, and the trick is to take out the giants, then the mammoths, and then the dragon once you no longer have to worry about being put on the Khajiit LANET, (Lower Atomoshere of Nirn Exploration Team) and pay attention to the health bar...


And my Argonian is happily married to Shavee.

[Marcus Vorenus]

My Imperial Marcus Vorenus is married to Temba Wide-Arm and my Nord Eddard Snow-Wolf is married to Camilla Valerius.

[philfredobob]

My Redguard went Unmarried, the only character i even considered for him was the grumpy sister of Taarie, unfortunatley she cant be married in-game, so in the end he didnt marry

[Dohva.]

Just because, I decided to marry both of my characters to the same npc, Onmund. They had one thing in common with him and that was the COW.

-Sylmirie the Altmer summoner: her relationship with Onmund is a temperamental one at times. As much as she loves him, she finds herself impatient with the man quite often. Sylmirie likes things done now and it drives her crazy having to wait for him to catch up to her or seeing how lazily he walks around the house when she has a full list of priorities. He disciplines their daughters, while she lets them do whatever they want. Such a point of contention in the marriage. Still, she finds his bravery and skill in battle to be a respectable part of him. Not to mention he gives her gold everyday. So on occasion, he receives some sweet, wifely affection from her. She is, after all, quite the jokester which is a bonding point for those two. Only Onmund's friendly disposition could tolerate such a diva as a wife.

-Felina the Imperial assassin/necromancer: what would a traditional Nord, who respects his ancestors, have in common with a necromancer? Love. That's what. Felina's relationship with Onmund is a rather amicable one. She's the submissive type, looking up to her husband's opinion as if it were gold. Sure, she kills for a living and often times raises the dead to serve her in life...after all, she is the Dark Brotherhood mistress. But there was something about Felina's dark and quiet nature that attracted Onmund to her. Perhaps it was her creepiness, but they live a happy life together with their two children. She keeps her necromancy activities to herself, and he respects her ties to the Brotherhood. I see these two as having a sweet and juvenile sort of romance.

[Mauin]

Vulom married Athis. Roleplay wise Vulom was just looking for a portable snack and he was the easiest pick considering they were both in the Companions and he seemed to like her. As for myself, I don't mind the guy and he's a nice source of gold (not that Vulom needs it...). He's also available as a follower should Vulom need help.

Hunts-With-Fury married Scouts-Many-Marshes. There aren't many Argonian spouses and there's no bloody way I'm marrying Derkeethus again (what a mess).
Other than that, I felt the marriage suited her story.

From-Blackest-Reaches is still single. At this point I haven't decided whether or not to get her married.

Thing is that all the NPC's I would like to marry can't be married...
Heck, maybe I'll just write that From-Blackest-Reaches has a secret crush on Brynjolf. Or not.

[urthdigger]

I married Aela and immediately regretted it. Everything she said to be afterwards was submissive, totally NOT the warrior I'd fought alongside. I never thought I'd say this about any girl, but I wish we'd just remained friends.

[trueflame]

Sylgja... I love the smell of coal in her underpants!

[SilentPsycho]

Let's see...

My Nord blacksmith married Balimund. It made sense because he had a forge, and she needed a blace to live.

My Khajiit is still single, mainly due to the fact that she can't decide which one. I may use the console to marry her to Ralof, since she's had a little torch for him since he helped her escape Helgen, but I'm also half-tempted to use the console to marry her to Khar'jo. The only problem with that line is that I have no clue what will happen after marriage in regards to the voice-acting. Either way, whoever it is will have to be a good parent to her two adopted children, Sofie and Hroar.

My bloodthirsty Dunmer assassin is happily married to Ingun Black-Briar. He fell in love with her after discovering her love for poisons, and has turned out to be a surprisingly loving father to their two girls, Runa and Lucia. He also brings back presents for them, and built them a lovely house in Morthal...with a good view of a certain ship in Solitude.

I'm half-tempted to roleplay that my Nord warrior got drunk and accidentally married some random person. Not sure who right now. She's been collecting people to live in Lakeview Manor with her, so another one would be nice.

[Unionhack]

I actually have a modded spouse tailored to my own specifications. Her name is Solaste and she is a Dunmer Rogue. Complete with those awesome purple eyes that Karliah has.

In vanilla I either go with Muiri or Aela. They're cute, what can I say?

[Jordy]

My Wood Elf archer/assassin desperately wanted to marry Lucien, and sulked for days when she found out you aren't allowed to marry the dead.

Then she set her sights on Ondolemar, and was again disappointed when she realised that he's not marriable, and nor are any other male Altmer.

Then it was Hadvar - still no dice.

So she settled for Marcurio in the end. He's cute, charmingly cocky, and very handy in a fight. And he doesn't seem to mind when she goes off for long, long adventures with her Spectral Assassin, or brings said Assassin home to meet the kids...

[Gbaji]

My first Skyrim character, a Nord smith, fell in love with Mjoll the first time he saw her swing Grimsever. She keeps busy around Lakeview Manor, but she's his best follower and he always takes her on the toughest quests.

My current character, a diminutive Breton conjurer, married the first Nord to be kind to him, who was of course Ysolda. He's now Arch-Mage of the College and Thane of Eastmarch, but he takes every opportunity to visit Whiterun.

In RL, I'm sure my wife would not disclaim the status of Skyrim Widow.

[Alarra]

My character, Alarra, chose Farkas as her husband. He seemed like the guy she most felt a connection with, and he's not unattractive, either.

[Dave2380]

Well, Edge, my Blacksmith ended up being charmed to the altar by Cosnach. He was just so keen to marry me at the sight of the Amulet of Mara that it made me go a wee bit gushy inside.

Vincent, the assassin ended up with Farkas, and is rather enjoying a fiercely loyal werewolf husband. He's attractive, a dependable warrior, and as he's a werewolf he's not quite as morally opposed to being married to the Listener of the Dark Brotherhood as many others would be.

I'd give my eye teeth to marry Erik the Slayer but alas it's not going to happen.

[ZackyZombify]

I married Aela on my first character Vladmir Vowulf. But that was just for the achievement. None of my other 6 characters have married nor will I don't think. I wish you could marry people over Xbox live like they did with Fable 3.

[Frogmander]

I usually marry Ysolda, I do have a mod though that lets me marry Sapphire that I use quite often.(even though the dialogue is mostly missing..)

[Avron the S'wit]

I've actually had one hell of a time trying to find someone for my Imperial; for some reason no one quite catches my eye, and the more I learn about some the less I like them. I think he'll have to continue being a bachelor - although I'm sure he's too busy to object.

[Br3admax]

Never married(except for the achievement). Why would I when there's always the being a heart-breaker.

You could always mod a spouse in if you're on PC! cx

[HatofMadness]

Aela! ^_^

[Leilah]

None of my characters ever marry. Well, I guess if I decide I want the achievement I'll have a retired character marry, but generally, marriage is reserved for Sims, not my adventurers.

[HatofMadness]

Leilah is my Skyrim Spouse actually..

[Elenath]

My Altmer recently married Vladimar from Hearthfire. He got points for using magic, and then he was so polite and eager to help her.
She was going to marry Erik the Slayer. I somehow forgot he wasn't an option.

None of my other characters have married yet, but I have them picked out. Dunmer vampire assasain is going to marry Jenassa, Breton conjurer has her eye on Onmund, Orc warrior is going to marry Ghorbash, if that's her name.
