Editing 40d Talk:Marriage

out of 5 marriages in my fortress so far, 5 involved a man and woman, and 5 'decided to forego marriage celebrations'.
please post results from your fortress, and I'd also like to know what kind of celebrations they do undertake. [[User:Twiggie|Twiggie]] 13:27, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
: Of mine, 3 of 3 (in 2 different fortresses) have celebrated. The celebration is a party at a (probably random) dining room / zoo/ statue - both of the couple get Attend Party for a while, as do at least some other dwarves. Are you perhaps not defining anywhere for them to hold a party? (I also remember reading on the forums that they wouldn't celebrate in the first year, as with any other party, though I can't find that now) - [[User:Cim|Cim]] 17:26, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
:: yea :p i got fed up with them throwing parties after the first one.... [[User:Twiggie|Twiggie]] 19:24, 15 April 2008 (EDT)

ok i changed the main page... if anyone gets dwarves that dont celebrate marriage in a statue garden, zoo etc, please change it so that it is appropriate. [[User:Twiggie|Twiggie]] 11:44, 17 April 2008 (EDT)

::Just out of curiosity, is it possible for multiple "Lovers"? That is to say, can a dwarf have more then one wife? What if the wife dies, can he marry again? --[[User:AlexFili|AlexFili]] 06:29, 10 June 2008 (EDT)
:::Surely you meant can a dwarf have more than one husband. Don't we all know how dwarves value their scarce women...--[[User:Höhlenschreck|Höhlenschreck]] 17:36, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I have a fortress running on it's 14th year with very small socialising areas and a population cap of 30. I'm pretty sure neither multiple lovers nor re-marrying is an option. Dwarves, it seems, are very monogamous. Also, all my married couples have held a celebration, I feel that implies that celebrations are only foregone if there is no place to hold them, although that isn't quite for certain --[[User:Sartain|Sartain]] 20:29, 18 June 2008 (EDT)

:No, it's not just about free rooms. Sometimes dwarves just want to get married in peace. People in real life do the same thing. --[[User:AlexFili|AlexFili]] 04:46, 19 June 2008 (EDT)

I have noticed that married couples always share a deity. Their children also worships this deity, though lovers don't share deities. I suspect the marriage means they choose one deity and worship it together and raise children in its image. I'm not sure if they choose one of the deities they worshipped before getting married but it seems logical. Can anyone confirm? --[[User:Aspgren|Aspgren]] 5th February 2010 (EDT)

Do military dwarf lovers marry when on duty? When off duty? [[Special:Contributions/212.119.56.254|212.119.56.254]] 05:07, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
:I've seen married soldiers, although they may have been married before one was recruited. [[User:Studoku|Studoku]] 04:48, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
