How to Marry Aela the Huntress

You are finally worthy enough to marry Aela. Skyrim’s standard marriage rules generally apply here. First, get a Amulet of Mara from Maramal, priest at Richestre’s Mara Temple. You’ll have to let him explain how marriage works in Skyrim before he sells you the amulet.
Equip the amulet and talk to Aela. If she is interested and she should be at this point, you will see additional dialogue options that indicate as much. Select them to make a recommendation.
Talk to Maramal to arrange your marriage. The engagement ceremony usually takes place about 24 hours after the wedding preparations begin. Don’t stray too far from the Temple, or you might accidentally leave your bride at the altar. It’s not a smart idea to stand up a werewolf.
