the marriage meme
Let the doves fly! Toss some rice! Release the kraken!
Okay, maybe not the last one, but it would be really cool to do after a wedding, especially if it was your wedding. Wouldn’t your brand new spouse be so impressed? But like this meme, you need not restrict yourself to kraken fun to just the beginning of your marriage: there are all sorts of stages, events, and situations to explore!
From your honeymoon to fiftieth anniversary to the day you first met that sent you down this blissful road, marriages are complicated and different for everyone. Did you marry for true love, or was it arranged? Are they the one you promised to marry when you were five, or did that whirlwind adventure make you realize whom you want to spend the rest of your life with? Pick up some dice, roll, and memorize those personalized vows.

prompts
1. SICKENLY SWEETHEARTS ♛ You know the couple. They are always making goo-goo eyes at each other, sending perfume scented notes and flowers, and just making everyone gag. This time though, you are that blissfully unaware couple.
2. CHILDHOOD MARRIAGE PROMISE ♛ Long, long ago, you promised to marry someone you met on the playground, pinky promise and all. Did you forget about the promise and they remembered? Or are you making good on it? Better hope that they remembered and don’t already have a sweetheart you’ll have to fight.
3. UNHOLY MATRIMONY ♛ When it’s one evil villain fighting against the hero, you know that you’ll be okay. If there is an alliance, it will just be a bigger fight, but if they marry? You know things just got really dangerous.
4. ARRANGED MARRIAGE ♛ Arranged marriages aren’t always welcomed, but sometimes, the benefits outweigh personal opinions. Hopefully, you won’t get someone cruel or ugly. Now that it is the wedding day, will you go through and try to make the best of it, or will this be your last attempt at rebellion?
5. FIRST BIG FIGHT ♛ Every couple has this, and it is never pretty, whether you are dating or married. What did you fight about? Is someone sleeping on the couch? Did someone go out for a drink or to clear his or her heads? Can you make up?
6. BRIDE SWITCH ♛ Often seen in fairy tales, an evil bride switches places with a good bride during the wedding because she is so hideous… In your wedding, you aren’t marrying who you thought you were. Was your true bride switched? Did the groom lie about who he was? Do you like this new person better? Will you forgive them for lying to you?
7. OLD AGE ♛ You have long celebrated your wedding, enjoyed the honeymoon says, and maybe renewed your vows. You both are in your old age, and life is good.
8. HONEYMOON ♛ This is the best part of the marriage, some day. You are in a romantic place and finally have some privacy… to take off each other’s clothes.
9. PROPOSAL ♛ This is the moment you have been waiting for and dreading. This will alter your life drastically, for better or for worse depending upon one person’s answer.
10. FAIRY TALE ROMANCE ♛ It is perfect. It was made to be, a match in heaven, and nothing bad happened. You have the rarest kind of marriage at all: romance, friendship, and true love wrapped up in one lovely package with a bow. How did it happen? Will it stay that way?
11. WEDDING DISASTER ♛ Someone forgot the ring. You’re late. The priest upped and died on you. You didn’t get a marriage license. Something has gone horribly wrong and it might mean you won’t get married if you don’t fix it soon.
12. ELOPEMENT ♛ Screw the world, screw the opinions of your friends and family. You two were made for each other and that’s all there is to it! Sometimes eloping is the right thing to do, other times, everyone else was right and you weren’t made to be.
13. AND BABY MAKES THREE ♛ Congrats! You now have a little one on the way! Get ready for all the future ups and downs… and get the baby registries ready. Hopefully you two planned on this!
14. FIRST ANNIVERSARY ♛ It has been one year since you said your vows. How has your marriage been since then? Has the flame died? Is your bond stronger than ever? Did someone forget? Or is someone secretly pulling out all the stops?
15. HOUSE HUNTING ♛ One thing a married couple usually does is spend some time looking for a place to live. Are you having a hard time compromising? Did you find the perfect one that was out of your budget? Or are you building your own?
16. IT WAS FATE ♛ You ran into each other and spilled coffee. Your hands touched when you passed them a menu. You were rivals in a school competition. However you met, it was fate, and you knew you were meant to be. Just convince the other of that.
17. SHOTGUN WEDDING ♛ It might be less traditional, but someone would be in a lot of trouble if the baby were born out of wedlock, be it from being disowned to having your whole family shamed. Better do it before one of you shows too much!
18. HAPPY MARRIAGE CHARADE ♛ Life is not always happy after the honeymoon, and sometimes not even before, but you have reputations and images to uphold. Are you able to become happy, or will you give up and get a divorce?
19. MAIL ORDER BRIDE ♛ While slightly controversial, it has happened: a bride comes from a poorer country to escape war, poverty, or other reasons to marry a richer man in a richer country. It’s not always perfect, sometimes there are ulterior moves, and everyone always wonders if the bride is a cleverly disguised enemy spy…
20. WHY WASTE A WEDDING? ♛ The bride ran away. You just realized your best friend is your true love. The groom doesn’t really love you. For some reason, the couple everyone came for isn’t getting married, and someone else is! Yay!
21. WILD CARD ♛ Is there a scenario up there? Did you want to roll again or make up your own? Go for it!
2. CHILDHOOD MARRIAGE PROMISE ♛ Long, long ago, you promised to marry someone you met on the playground, pinky promise and all. Did you forget about the promise and they remembered? Or are you making good on it? Better hope that they remembered and don’t already have a sweetheart you’ll have to fight.
