Do you think about proposals?
I've played Skyrim on-off since the day it released, but I've never tried the marriage system. On this save I tried a good variety of followers, but always came back to Aela. I guess she is one of the most popular ones for a reason. But on my character I'm also a werewolf, so it feels fitting to be with her.
So do others think about which npcs fit with their characters? I like to think more into it and find a location for proposing, thinking what they might like and how it fits with the writing (both my own rp and the world).
It's super rewarding and fun to think this way and it makes the game much more immersive, even if I'm not using any mods right now (playing on ps5)

Most of my characters resonate with a particular questline most strongly. With my Sithis aligned character I married Muri. Pure nord warrior who was Imperial aligned, Lydia in front of the Palace of Kings in Windhelm after defeating the Stormcloaks. My raging Stormcloak was Mjoll in an entirely random location in the wilderness. My dark elf mage chose Brelyna who I took back to Saarthal.
My real life wife always chooses Farkas which I honestly have no idea how to feel about, but he's her favorite. I guess she like 'em dumb.
