You can share your farm life with them and even have children.

Taking the realm of Eorzea, Final Fantasy 14 is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) that allows players to experience life in various aspects, including marriage. Known as the Ceremony of Eternal Bonding, players can plan and participate in their very own fantasy wedding, complete with outfits, adornments, and a chapel ceremony.

The Elder Scrolls Online is another MMORPG where players can unite in matrimony. By purchasing the Ring of Mara from the Crown Store, two players can participate in a ritual and receive special bonuses when playing together. It’s a commitment of adventuring camaraderie!
4. Maple Story
Maple Story, the 2D side-scrolling MMORPG, also includes a marriage system. Players can hold an in-game wedding complete with invitations, a chapel service, and even a post-wedding reception. To add realism, maintaining a marriage requires effort with rewards and penalties applying to both players.
5. Rift
Typical of MMORPGs, Rift also offers a marriage system. By purchasing a Wedding Bells item, two players can hold a wedding ceremony, earning them a Married title. The process is purely aesthetic but offers a fun, immersive role-play experience.

While not officially a marriage system, Animal Crossing: New Horizons allows players to create their own wedding scenarios. With the ability to customize your island, design clothes, and invite friends, you can celebrate a wedding in whatever style you prefer. It’s a great way to share a special event with friends in a relaxed, charming setting.

The open-ended nature of Minecraft allows players to build and create anything they can imagine, and this includes weddings. Through modding or pure creativity, players can create beautiful wedding venues, invite friends, and hold a ceremony to remember.
8. Super Bunny Man
Super Bunny Man might be a quirky physics-based game featuring two bunny men, but it also allows for some form of marriage. While not a traditional wedding, players can engage in a cooperative multiplayer mode that requires trust, communication, and commitment, much like a marriage.
9. The Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me
The Dark Pictures Anthology is a series of standalone horror games. In 'The Devil In Me,' there is a fleeting chance for two players to choose characters and see them getting married in one of the game's many endings. It’s a chilling twist on in-game weddings!
