Fans often meet each other through games and then get married. Sometimes, they even invite their in-game friends to the wedding.
Video games bring people together in a unique way. Co-op games, in particular, give people a chance to get to know each other and even make friends for life. Fans often meet each other through video games, get married, and even invite their in-game friends to the real-life celebrations.
Unfortunately, not many games have ways for players to marry each other. But there are live games with a wide range of things to do and regular updates that do let players get married, in addition to quests that are only for marriage. Some games let players live together and build houses together, while others encourage long sessions of close, cozy co-op.
Below, is a list of games with Official Marriage Options:
Stardew Valley
Fans of Stardew Valley were happy when the social mode came out, and they were even happier when they figured out how to get married in the game. Player marriages are a little bit easier to set up than marriages between NPCs. Players don’t have to worry about filling up their hearts or unlocking heart events.
Players only have to make a Wedding Ring for their future partner. In online mode, you can only get the recipe for Wedding Rings from the Traveling Cart. To make the ring, players must then make five iridium rings and find one prismatic shard. If the partner accepts, the wedding will happen three days after the player gives the ring to their partner.
Final Fantasy 14
Through the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, anyone of any race or gender can get married in Final Fantasy 14. But they must play from the same home world and finish “The Scions of the Seventh Dawn,” the main story quest.
Those who want to get married must both wear a promise bracelet and buy a wedding package from the Eternal Bond section of the Final Fantasy XIV Online Store.
The Elder Scrolls Online
Marriage is a practical process in The Elder Scrolls Online, just like it is in the regular single-player games.Players only need one Pledge of Mara, which they can get from the Crown Store or through game packages.
Then, players must go to any Shrine of Mara, use the Pledge while facing each other, and click “Accept” in the pop-up that shows. Once they’re married, couples who go on adventures together while wearing their Rings of Mara get a nice 10% experience boost.
Maple Story
Even though Maple Story came out 20 years ago and has a spinoff, people still play it. One thing that has kept them famous today is getting married. Like in other games, getting married to your love or best friend gives you in-game benefits and even lets you start exclusive quests. In-game, players must buy a Wedding Ticket to start the wedding, which they can then use to go to the Wedding Hall dungeon for the service. When a character has a Wedding Ticket, they can use it to ask another character to marry them.
The user of Wedding Ticket can start the ceremony and ask people to it. Receptions happen right after weddings, and both the couple and their guests are given gifts. Players can file for divorce if they don’t find marriage rewards, which they will continue to get after the event, or if they find that their marriage has ended.
Rift
Even though Rift has a small number of players, there are still enough busy players to keep the servers running. Players still get married, though not as often as in 2012, when it broke the Guinness world record for the most MMO weddings in a day.
In Rift, you have to buy a Marriage Contract from the Marriage Coordinator before you can get married. When both players use the contract on their partner and both agree to get married, the wedding is set. Players who want to have a ceremony can also buy a Wedding Ceremony Instance Creator, but for a group party, they will need a game with a lot of active players.
Games with unofficial Marraige Options:
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Even though players can’t get legally married in this game, that doesn’t mean that they haven’t done so anyway. Nintendo hasn’t tried to stop people from playing, and the Wedding Season event even came with free wedding-themed things.
During Wedding Season, players can get things related to weddings by helping Harvey take pictures of Reese and Cyrus for their anniversary. The player can use these things to decorate his or her island. Even though it’s not legal, players can get married this way, with or without their friends.
Minecraft
Even though Minecraft isn’t known for romance, fans have gotten married in Minecraft-themed events in real life, held impromptu weddings in-game, and even proposed to their partners with creative builds.
The romantic gamer might want to do the same, recreate the place where they got married in real life, or build a unique place to role-play the task for online friends who couldn’t make it to the real-life event.Players can build houses together in Minecraft because the game is open-ended and there are many servers to choose from. It could even be a great idea for a date night.
Bonding Games For Couples
Super Bunny Man
Some pairs like to play games like Minecraft, Slope Game, Animal Crossing, and others like them to unwind. Others like games with instant dangers or games where players can quickly join and leave sessions if their kids, pets, or other loved ones need them.
Super Bunny Man is the definition of a cooperative game, even though it is not a relaxed game. This fun but stressful game will test couples’ trust in each other and their ability to talk to each other. Since 2017, people have been playing the game, but the full version didn’t come out until May 17, 2023.
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me
The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil in Me is cinematic, has a gripping story, and looks great. It might be a good choice for pairs who can’t decide between game night and movie night.
Both the tools and the main point of the story are easy to understand. In co-op mode, players control different characters and make decisions that affect the whole game. The characters or the whole group can die if they make the wrong choice, so couples have a reason to work together to get the ending they want.
Diablo 4
Diablo 4 has a lot of different ways to play with other people, which makes it a great game for couples to play together. Being close to another player gives you more experience and makes battles easy. If one player gets ahead of their partner, they can still go through capstone dungeons with them. This makes it easier and less of a pain to catch up with each other’s work.
Couples can also play on different sites, both locally and online. They can also invite friends to their party to get an extra 10% XP.
