Dwarves will get married occassionally. It is unknown if Dwarves will involve in same-sex relationships, but it does not appear so. Dwarves must be "lovers" before becoming married, the current mechanism is unknown. Dwarves may celebrate marriages with a party if you have provided a room for them to do so in. They may also choose to forego any formal celebration. After marriage they will share bedrooms, start to sleep in the same bed, share the same account (if the dwarven economy is in effect), and pop out babies like rabbits. New migrants to the fortress can already be married when they arrive.

In the Relationships screen ( v p z r ), Husband or Wife tops the list, coming above their deity.

Currently (v0.27.176.38c), dwarven marriage is not voided by death, which means that the spouse of a dwarf will continue to show up in the relations screen and that beds owned by a married couple will still be listed as owned by both partners. This also means dwarves do not remarry, or initiate new romantic relationships after being widowed.

It has been observed that dwarves (tend to?) only marry other dwarves who arrived at the fortress in the same immigration wave as themselves. Whether this is an absolute, and if so it's unclear whether this is hard-coded, or a quirk, or a bug.
