Marriage for love is a such a modern concept. In the past, marriage was
recognised as a social contract. Unions were entered into for many
reasons: to obtain property, to unite families, to carry on a bloodline,
et cetera. Whatever the reason, congratulations, you're getting married!

HOW IT WORKS:
❧ Post a comment with your character's name, canon, and any preferences.
❧ If there's a specific set of circumstances you like best, set the scene.
❧ Or leave your comment blank and let others use RNG to choose the scenario. Feel free to mix and match.
❧ Please note the prompts below are merely suggestions and you're more than welcome to come up with your own situation.
❧ Have fun!

POSSIBLE REASONS FOR MARRIAGE:
① Station → You come from a royal, noble, or otherwise distinguished family who has chosen a suitable spouse for you.
② Feud → You are being married to put an end to the bitter enmity between your two families.
③ Economics → Your economic state and/or your station will improve through the union, though one of you may be marrying down.
④ Empire → You and your spouse are merging your businesses and/or property to create something more influential or profitable.
⑤ Tribute → You have been offered as a gift or appeasement, alternately you're the spoils of war.
⑥ Bloodline → Carrying on your distinguished family name has fallen to you and the equally well-bred spouse of your family's selection.
⑦ Disapproval → Your marriage has been arranged to keep you away from the person with whom you truly wish to be.

POSSIBLE SCENARIOS:
① First meeting → This is the very first time you're meeting your future spouse.
② Courtship → To get to know each other and encourage affection, your family has approved of you going on dates.
③ Engagement party → Be it a huge, formal affair or a small, intimate get together, you're celebrating (or pretending).
④ Wedding day → The big day!
⑤ Reception → The big party!
⑥ Wedding night → Every meme needs a smut prompt, right?
⑦ Honeymoon → Where will you go with your new spouse and what will you do there?

[C'mon, who doesn't want to marry this pretty lady in the park?]

[m/f pref, cross canon ~~loved~~ welcome.]

[For all your 'marrying the widow with a business' and 'marrying down' needs.]

( Post-Beyond. Voice testing. Crosscanon preferred for this. )

[ marry a kid from a disgraced noble family, what could go wrong? ]

( Sacrificial brides and grooms this-a-way. Shrive yourselves and prepare to be sanctified in marriage to a monstrous god. Likely: ravishment, worship, eldritch anomalies, and quite a lot of botany. Unlikely: chit-chat. All mediums/canons/genders/sexes/sexualities are fine, but please no characters or players under 21. Flip me your kink list if you're into anything in particular. :) )

(ooc: Before he was taken, he was prince of Troy. He isn't heir to the throne, however.)

(ooc: Prince in a Queendom. He'll be married for political reasons, but he won't be ruling his throne.)

//Other fandoms welcome, other kids only, no smutty stuff.

[one southern gentleman. Probably arranged since he was very young.]

It's all very complicated and confusing, how they ended up in this situation. Sexy, in part, isn't even sure how she got there. The prime directive has definitely been shot to hell, but then, that's Jim's problem, not her's. She just appeared accidentally in the middle of the village and they started bowing, probably because she was glowing. Damn time energy. You sneeze and you end up somewhere else entirely.

Sexy's lucky that her dialect translator still works, even though she's in human form and not her lovely box casing. It's rough, but her arrival fulfills some sort of prophecy, and now they need to find her male counterpart? She's a little fuzzy on the details, because they seem to want to keep her in this fabric tent and feed her as many of these "Juinelons" as possible (they closest thing she can relate them to is hot pink grapes. They smell wonderful, but she really isn't all that hungry in the first place).

She knows something's happened when they all start cheering, and suddenly they're adorning her with a strange crown made out of the local flora, and there's a big garland (?) and just. She needs to find a way out of here. Where the hell is the Doctor when you need him?

The last thing Sexy is expecting when they finally let her out of the tent, scattering petals in front of her as she walks, is the man in uniform, being held at spearpoint - and those things are sharp, he's not going anywhere anytime soon. As it turns out, the garland is for him, wrapped twice around his neck and draped down over his shoulders.

[She's a noble, so this is very possible. Willing to AU, etc.]

( she'll have way more reservations being arranged with a man, but okay with a girl. )
