📋 About This Mod
UPDATE 1. 2
- Removed the Voice Type condition from the dialogue because honestly there was no need for it. Now you can TRULY marry anyone that belongs to a race you can talk to.
- Added the "set objective complete" to the dialogue so that when you marry someone the first time the misc journal entry will close and you won't be stuck with the objective of "find someone to marry" forever.
- Renamed the scripts so there is no chance to conflict with other mods using the same random numbers.
Sould be safe to update since I didn't edit the quest and the new scripts will be called upon dialogue (but let me know if you have issues)
UPDATE 1. 1 (December 2022)
I have remade the whole mod from scratch, fixed the quest and the scripts, and tried to make everything run better.
What's new:
- Now you have all in one .esp, flagged as light - no other patch needed.
- I made the quest a Miscellaneous one, so it won't bother you too much in your quests journal, you'll only have a tiny line among the other Misc quests to remind you to wear the ring to get married.
- The quest will not complete so you can remarry as many times as you want
- I fixed the dialogue conditions so that if you already married an NPC the marry me dialogue won't pop up again
- The Ring of Love will now give you a speech bonus when wearing
- Added the facegen of the Priest that was missing before
- Added Gelebor's voiced reply as requested in the comments
- Remade the marriage voice list and probably added more unique voices that weren't there before, but if I missed some let me know.
How to safely update
- Uninstall the previous version and the patch
- Make a new hard save
- Install the new version
- Go back to the Temple of Talos in Windelm and talk to the priest again to buy a new ring
(if the quest doesn't start, try with the console, type: setstage AwTalosMarriage 0 or 10 if you have the ring)
Who said that only Mara can unite you with your soul mate?
The Nord have their own ways and Talos can now bless your love union.
Long story short, I made this mod for my roleplaying and since I make A LOT of NPCs myself and I like to change the main story around, I am always stumped by the fact that there are only a limited number of voice types that have the marriage dialogue and if you try to marry some non-canon NPC it will break the ceremony, or you’ll have a hard time proposing etc.
Since this seems to work without issues, I thought I could share with you all romantic people.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 343 endorsements and over 11k downloads
- Actively maintained, last updated April 2026 with clear patch notes
- Lightweight and safe—single .esp flagged as light, no extra patches
⚠️ Cons
- May conflict with other mods that alter marriage dialogue or quests, despite script renames
- Requires a fresh hard save when updating from older versions, which can be a hassle
- Limited to NPCs of races you can talk to, so beast races like Khajiit or Argonians might be excluded depending on your character
For Skyrim players who want to marry any NPC they can talk to, not just the vanilla options. It's perfect for roleplayers who have a specific non-marriageable NPC in mind. Skip if you're happy with vanilla marriage or want a mod that adds new marriageable NPCs with unique stories.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're updating from an older version, uninstall the old mod and patch, make a hard save, then install the new version and buy a new ring from the priest in Windhelm.
- The quest is a Misc objective, so it won't clutter your journal—just wear the ring to trigger marriage dialogue.
- Since the mod is a single .esp, use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to keep your load order clean.
