A Reddit user named DiaMat2040 has shared a video of theirmarriage inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, and things appear to be fairly normal in the first half. The marriage goes on as planned, with the couple receiving their Bond of Matrimony rings, as the player chooses to live in their house in Whiterun. Suddenly, DiaMat2040 encounters a group of thugs inside the Temple of Mara, as a full brawl breaks out.
DiaMat2040 defeats all enemies and chooses to search their bodies for a contract with the sender’s name. As it turns out, Briehl, an acolyte at the Temple of Mara, was behind this attack on the Dragonborn. TheSkyrimplayer then meets Briehl inside the temple, who congratulates them on getting married, as if nothing unusual happened at the ceremony.
ManySkyrimfans comment on how the thugs waited for the wedding to get over before attacking, calling it a nice gesture on their part, while others compare it to theRed Wedding inGame of Thrones. One player wanted DiaMat2040 to exact revenge on the priest Briehl by killing him, while some other users discuss the eventful ceremony. Several gamers also share stories of their own marriage ceremonies inSkyrim, with one player claiming to have been abducted by the Dark Brotherhood on their wedding night.
DiaMat2040 had decided to marry Lydia, probably one of the most well-known NPCs ofSkyrim, as she is one of the first followers gamers can recruit. As seen in the video, Lydia joins the fight against the thugs, possibly making her one of thebest wives inThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim.
