📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
The Bond of Matrimony in the vanilla game is an underwhelming ring that recycles the effect "Mara's Blessing".
This plugin provides your wedding band a new left-handed mesh based on SMIM, its own armor slot (51), a unique enchantment, and minor consistency edits. Included are additional changes to Vittoria's Wedding Band, Asgeir's Wedding Band, A Night To Remember's Wedding Ring, and Fjola's Wedding Band.
Apparently, there is no Silver Sapphire Ring or Gold Ruby Ring.
So, two of these rings are actually unique to the vanilla game. Wow.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 864 endorsements and nearly half a million downloads
- Fills a real gap—vanilla wedding bands are useless, and this makes them meaningful
- Vanilla+ approach means it fits seamlessly without overhauling the game
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in June 2022—might have compatibility issues with newer Skyrim versions or mods
- Only affects wedding bands—if you're not into marriage roleplay, this mod does nothing for you
For Skyrim players who enjoy immersion and roleplay, especially those who actually use the marriage system and want their wedding band to feel special. Skip if you never get married in-game or prefer gameplay-changing mods over cosmetic enhancements.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod adds a new armor slot, make sure you have SKSE and SkyUI installed to see the slot properly in your inventory.
- Load this mod after any mods that alter wedding bands or the Bond of Matrimony to ensure your changes take effect.
- If you're using a mod manager, let it handle the file placement—manual install is simple but a manager keeps things tidy.
