Have you ever had a PC get married? Have they ever married someone or something unusual? For what purpose did your PC get married?
PC Marriage

I had a PC in a magical girl game do the closest thing to it. It was a Nanoha inspired game a good few years back, where my PC was a young Belkan noblewoman while another PC was a Belkan Knight wannabe, despite not being culturally or ethnically Belkan.
After a few adventures and a lot of growing closer as friends, the two formally swore a bond of Knight and Noblewoman, involving a grand ceremony where they pledged themselves to one another for life, with their friends and family looking on. It was a really fun, cute scene that was a really nice resolution to arcs for both of the characters.
In a game set in the same universe, but a good few years later, the pair showed up as NPC's- Pic related, the older version- still a pair and apparently very happy together, although given that it's a magical girl show the actual nature of their relationship was left tastefully offscreen.

Ran a campaign where PCs getting married was nigh-mandatory as character interaction and marriage were actual game mechanics, leaving little reason to not do it
It was pretty neat getting to write dozens of waifus and husbandos and let PCs pick & choose over the campaign's course, and some PCs just married each other saving me some effort
By the end there were 60+ NPCs, far too many to do pairings with, but some who were left alone ended up getting together anyway, usually the ones players joked about or otherwise made some sense to do
In the end, despite some of them being really wacky, I think my favorite couple was a dense sword-addicted mercenary dude + his stalker-lite childhood friend who was obsessed with him and snuck around trying to follow him for years
I wrote her up so she could be played off for gags, but then senpai noticed her and they turned out really sweet together

My PCs are gearing up for marriage, trying to select and whoo wives.
Too bad that's never ever going to happen.
Eli Collins
My Cleric wants to marry his goddess.
Landon Mitchell
Never, though one of my characters made marriages (among other clerical duties), some of which could be called unusual.
Gavin Watson
that looks like very bad place to be conjuring fire at

It's actually more difficult to burn a book than you might expect. Individual pages are easy, but a solid book requires a pretty hot fire to get it going.

The plot of one campaign I ran in not!Rokugan had one player, a member of the not!Phoenix Clan, being escorted across not!Rokugan by the rest of the players in order to get married to a princess of the not!Scorpions Clan. Does that count?
The marriage didn't happen 'til the end and was purely political, with neither player nor player's wife having actually met each other before.
Also it turns out it was part of a somewhat broader move by the Emperor of not!Rokugan to more closely bind together the two Clans who were most loyal to her personally (as opposed to the throne and the idea of the Emperor), and all part of a grand scheme to basically go Meiji Restoration on not!Rokugan's backward ass.

Side note, this was actually the first D&D campaign I ever ran. 3.0 (not 3.5), Oriental Adventures.
Jaxon Bennett
My warlock married an elf because he knocked her up and didn’t want the kid to be a bastard.They didn’t have a formal ceremony, he bought a ring, they had a date and he proposed.
Game I’m running, Barbarian was interested in this baker and one near death experience in the underdark later, he spent the next few sessions winning her over because hes afraid to die alone and wants to have a family
Julian Garcia
What kind of queer bender-boi game was this?
Samuel James
Personally I find it hard to contain my glee whenever my players out themselves in a position to attend a wedding.
Jeremiah Bell
A copypasted vidya, Fire Emblem to be exact
Mechanically it worked really well in tabletop, but thanks to the series' modern iterations the players' #1 expectation was waifus
And what kind of GM would I be not to indulge?
Luis Mitchell
Nothing overly weird but the entire party in my current campaign are hooked up with either each other or NPCs. It's been pretty charming and a strong factor in their motivations as time goes on. It helps that the players trust me not to cheap shot their love interests for drama.

my Char married the sister of another PC.
Then again, she was kinda cute, and came with a sizeable dowry. I played a Prince of 1 realm, he a Duke of another, and we married the families together to secure a stronger alliance.
Cause evidently "We're bros, we're good" was not enough to convince The King....
Alexander Martinez
My high level monk became a true neutral aligned god, heartbroken he could never marry his qt level 1 farm girl love interest he resolved himself to a life of lonelyness among the gods. The qt girl left her farm and became a monk with her mission to become a diety so she could be with her love, it was cute as fuck. She joined a group of adventurers and luckily stayed alive. Eventually she made it to a high level through sheer determination with some occasional wisdom and guidance from her god monk bf. They had a wedding ceremony and as they exchanged vows she ascended to godhood. Best two campaigns I ever played. In my car driving home I nearly cried when they were finished.
Luis Anderson
Combination of a running gag about my character getting petrified every time we met anything that could petrify and campaign geopolitics led to one of my characters marrying Sheshka, the medusa queen in Eberron. Our children were unholy aberrant horrors and plunged the land into an age of darkness.
Ethan Martin
No PC yet, but two NPCs are about to get married after us playing for 6 years, and will be ordained by two PCs who have recently received the divine right to marry. They're getting married because they love each other and this is the holy timeline.
Adam Lee
i had a guardsman who fell to chaos who ascended to daemonhood who got a space elf waifu.
Owen Rodriguez
Never gotten married, but I've started a campaign already married. ASOIAF RPG game, so it only made sense to be married. My character basically married and stabbed his way to becoming nobility.

I need to marry off my Pendragon char eventually, just need to make sure it's not some dangerous woman in disguise.
Ah who am I kidding, so long as he got an heir he'd be too lovey-dovey to notice her conspire against King Uther.
Ryan Reed
My Dm uses political weddings a lot in his games, the most recent one my Druid ended up marrying a noble as a way to keep them from deforesting a sacred glade. The only issue is that it puts us at odds with another noble house we've been working with.
Justin Ortiz
Yes.
Then again, we were playing L5R so it's par of the course. He married a Crane woman, because she was higher status and his Lord said that he had to.
He was happy with it, in the end.
Adam Ward
Be a power lover. Power bomb her onto your dick every day. Put her into a head lock until she says the Lord's Prayer a hundred time and pisses herself. Force her into a dare-you contest where you both do shots of her Dangerous Woman brew until you get too fucked up and power bomb her onto your dick. Claim the dragon has come home and flying tackle her into the wall before fucking her. Make her run naked mile jogs at 5am with you to, quote, "Make that fine ass last to twilight". Tell her you need NINE HEIRS and a daughter to be a witch like mum and ANOTHER to be a knight just in case and about three bothers and then one more daughter to be normal and maybe one you sell to a nun to be a roulette 'bastard', keep it fresh.
Make this woman beg for the sweet embrace of a soft bed every day before she has one sweaty weeping second to contemplate rebelling and usurping INEXHAUSTIBLE PENDRAGON VIGOR
Kayden Hernandez
I had a character that got married on a drunken bender once. We were playing a really gonzo post-apocalyptic science fantasy game and after a successful adventure fighting sentient pacifist spiders stuck inside murderous suits of computer-assisted armor, we decided to celebrate and the DM rolled on a table for what happened to us during our drunken bender.
My character woke up married to a large sentient crab.
It was pretty great actually. That morning was spent high-tailing it away from my new crustacean in-laws carrying the crab bride, and from then on she'd always see off the party on adventures. It was adorably domestic.
10/10 would crab wife again.
Jeremiah Collins
I started a campaign once with the PCs waking in the aftermath of a bender to discover that one of them was now married, and that they needed to flee to escape the bride.
Anthony Mitchell
What system did you run it in?
Noah Gonzalez
Itself, all the formulae from the games and d100s
I wasn't kidding about 'copypasted,' there was no need to add anything at all (roll20 macros made it easier though)
Sebastian Morris
Character was a failing Duke, and a low-level priest on the side. Just got done with a successful war with warlock cabal, but economy hurt severely, race riots breaking out, near civil war. Didn't like ruling, was 6th or 7th in line of succession, city was falling apart, capable people were afraid to rise. Survived a poisoning attempt by a close friend, took the hint.
Screwed around with a qt high priestess the night before we took down their dragon. Church pulled their own dragon out of nowhere, told me not to ask questions. After I got poisoned I asked the qt priestess to leave town and serve as my mentor in a distant monastery, said yes. Had to hide our relationship for years.
A bullshit war occurs and I get drafted, dragon shows up without asking, ends fairly quickly. Challenge a warlock to trial by combat bc he had a legitimate claim to a position I was awarded. Dragon shows up as champion, loses due to cheater in the crowd. A Duke who was a friend of mine arranged his assassination as a 'welcome home gift'. Priestess missing for a couple days, check the infirmary during my normal rounds, find her. She apologizes for losing, fesses up and admits to being a dragon the entire time, ordered the rest of the church not to tell me because she didn't wanted to be treated differently.
Was planning to propose before warlock bullshit bc I didn't give a fuck about the rank difference anymore. Started planning wedding as soon as she recovered.
Ryder Nguyen
Yep, my Sorceress PC married her fiancee's father. Her father was basically more of a man than her initial beau, so after he caught them getting it on, she decided to just marry the man she'd been cheating with.
Carson Mitchell
I've only had one situation in which my character got married in-game (married or formerly married characters did also exist though) and she actually didn't. She pretended to marry a young noble with a ceremony and all and not even the rest of the party knew of her and the noble's secret plan. You see, said noble was under constant threat by a scorned lover, who was suspected of murder and dark rituals to fuck with said noble. Long story short, the fake ceremony was held to draw her out of hiding, which succeeded but not before she summoned a bunch of demons on us.
Lucas Russell
I've have several characters get married but most of them were just "in the years between the last adventure so-and-so tried to settle down and got married." and then part of a session is one of the party trying to get everyone back together to continue fighting (which is quite fun to do if your group comes plays after a long break).
Out of the few that got married in-game the best was my mage who married a princess that despised the party, and had secretly tried to have us killed off on a few occasions, in a win-win deal.
She succeeded the throne to become queen, our party acquired a large amount of tax-free income and land (which we later sold off) in a dowry, and she would help us become ostracised on (the old Greek meaning of using popular vote to banish citizens for around 10 years) so we could legally explore the outside world, on the condition that we never came back. The campaign ended a few sessions later with the party becoming travelling merchants that would occasionally show up in later campaigns set in the same world.
Lucas Walker
I more or less mistakingly married pic related. It was an orcish raiding party that my character happened to be unfortunately get swept up in as he was resting in the town. I fought off a few orcs, including this rather agressive female whom had been barking an orcish challenge to any in her path. Then she would promptly defeat them and move onto the next. I had gotten into a tough scuffle with her and tried to disarm her with a grapple roll, unfortuntely I nat1'd and the gm said "interesting" and continued on. I eventually beat her down and she uttered something in orcish, rather flustered. She let me bind her and she followed me without any trouble.
But she wouldn't leave me alone! no matter what ky character said she would thrust herself into him and refuse to go anywhere else. I was out of ideas and asked the DM some context.
With a little help from a translator the DM gave me her side of the story...
> Be orc female
> Tribe has elected this raid as part of the right of passage for females
> Must find the strongest warrior and take him back alive to be tested if worthy of snoo snoo
> proper ettiquete must me maintained, possible challengers must be given the orcish marital challenge.
> do so, but these pitiful men are weak and none of them interest me
> woah look at the size of that one, he just took Kruhj's head clean off his shoulders!
> he's mine! approach and give the marital challenge, If I win you are mine, if you win, I am yours.
> like the others, the man doesn't seem to get the idea, but he accepts my challenge
> He's tough! but I will show him orcish strength!
> Did he just grab my breast? Does he intend to take this challenge seriously?
> Get beaten, I can't believe they make humans this big... our children will be strong!
> Embarrassing confession of loss and giving of herself to the victor
> he ties me up ever so gently and takes me as the prize I am
> He doesn't snoo snoo
> Try to convince him, this is hard
> What dooooo

After figuring this out I my 5 charisma character had no idea how deal with a woman so it was awkward at first. He evnetually learned orcish from her and they had half a dozen kids. She took up work as a combat intrsuctor and took great pleasure in beating males into submission, but always tried to take on my character once in a while just to get sex out of him.
Luke Johnson
Bumping for good measure
I had a PC marry a ent accidently. He had a enchanted ring given to him by a dryad, turns out it gives trees sentience.
Thomas Fisher
No marriages, but my bislut sorc PC just got engaged to Victor Vallakovich.
Cameron Williams
I once had a DM make my character marry another PC that had turned into a monkey.

Good choice of position, sam. Steady work, within the captiol, literate, post-Sengoku. You're doing the class right.
Never go ronin. It seems fun, wandering around, but it just feels better knowing you've got your lord's back and the welfare of a city/province to ensure.
Lucas Howard
Yes, my halfling Bard Chill-chunk Chyaz.
hes married to an orc who he believes is a woman (is acctually a man (Dm's idea to fuck with the party)) whose name is Munchi MaCoochie (our clerics idea ) this has lead to some interresting interactions with NPCs. such as the time that we burned a man alive in a house cause he darred to say that Chill-chunk was in a marriage that was an abomination to the gods (meant gay marriage but chill-chunk thought it was because he's a halfling and his "wife" is an orc).
Noah Gonzalez
My previous character ended up marrying the dryad he was involved with for a while now. He settled down on the outskirts of a little town in the woods and has started raising a family. He still helps the townsfolk out occasionally, being a relatively high level druid and all. Of the PCs who were part of the campaign from day one, his was probably the only unqualified good end. Everyone else either died along the way or only got some of the things they wanted or had to pay a steep price to achieve their dreams.
Jack Young
My elf married his half-elf sister midway through a six year 2e campaign.
>For what purpose
We wanted to drive the DM up the wall, he was the sort that turns a blind eye on magical realms that appeal to him but acts like a righteous puritan about everything else.
That, and the girl who played my character's sister had a massive incest fetish.
Charles Edwards
I'm pretty sure one of my players wants to marry Ireena in a Strahd campaign I'm running.
Not because he likes her, but because Strahd's minions put a scar on his face.
Zachary Miller
One time my cleric married a dragon who'd been posing as a priestess.
They met, hit it off, did what adults do, he offered to take responsibility, and the rest is history.
