Once an eligible NPC whose disposition toward the player is sufficiently high expresses consent, the marriage ceremony takes place at the Temple of Mara.

| Bjornolfr and Hrodulf | Gay | Bjornolfr, a resident of Solitude, maintained a relationship with his lover Hrodulf after the latter relocated to Solstheim. There, Hrodulf took shelter in an abandoned shack and began to hear persistent nocturnal noises emanating from beneath it. His attempts to uncover their source led him to tunnel below the structure, where he discovered a functioning Dwemer mechanism; prolonged exposure to its rumbling gradually eroded his sanity, a decline evident in his increasingly disturbed letters to Bjornolfr. Alarmed, Bjornolfr travelled to Solstheim despite Hrodulf's warnings, but was killed by reavers near the shack. An Amulet of Mara and a gold ring found in Bjornolfr's boat indicate that he intended to marry Hrodulf.[11] |
