[[File:Got Married to -Sim-.png|left|The symbol of marriage]]A [[Sim]] can propose to another Sim, depending on their relationship. If the other Sim accepts, the two Sims will get '''married'''.

Line 32 ⟶ 31:
Marriages between two Sims of the same sex are referred to as "Joined Unions" in ''[[The Sims 2]]'', although engagement is still engagement, and a wedding party is still called a wedding party. While the names of the Sim-to-Sim and wedding arch interactions for marriage are different ("Propose... Joined Union" and "Join Union") for same-sex couples, the interactions themselves are the same. If the Sims do not already live together, the Sim being proposed to will move in with the Sim who proposed, and unless a mod is used, the Sim who initiates the union is the Sim whose last name both parties will take.
Joined unions provide fewer [[Aspiration (The Sims 2)|aspiration]] points than marriage. However, a hack available

===Being left at the altar===
[[File:Earl_E_DeMise_left_Olive.jpg|thumb|235px]]
There is a chance that a Sim getting married could get "left at the altar", even though Sim weddings do not involve altars. When this happens, one Sim will hesitate while the marriage is taking place, and then run away, leaving the other Sim behind. This could happen if one of the Sims is having an affair or has a [[Wants and Fears|fear]] of marrying their partner. It might also happen if the two Sims don't have a strong enough [[relationship]], or if the Sim being proposed to has low needs (and thus in a bad mood). The Sim who was left behind will have a lowered relationship with the other Sim, and if ''[[The Sims 2: Nightlife|Nightlife]]'' is installed, will be [[fury|furious]] at them.

Sims who are in an exclusive relationship in ''[[The Sims 3]]'' can propose marriage to their other half and become engaged.
''[[The Sims 3: Generations]]'' provides extensive new features when it comes to proposals and marriage. Before proposing, the player has the option to let their Sim ask one parent for permission to marry their child. The engaged Sims can have the opportunity to throw a
When Sims wed, the last name taken by the couple will be that of the Sim who proposed. If the Sim who was proposed to already has children who are teens or younger, they will take on their new step-parent's name, even if they are not in the household. For example, if a single mother marries another man, her children will receive their new step-father's name, if he was the one who proposed. The same rule applies to newlyweds who had children together before marrying; while they originally take their mother's name, their future last name depends on which parent proposes. It's important to note that a Sim's last name can be changed via an interaction performed by the Sim in question at the [[city hall]].

There is also no distinction made between opposite-sex and same-sex marriage. They provide the same amount of satisfaction points, have the same related moodlets, and fulfill the same whims.

== The Sims Medieval ==
[[File:Medievalmarriage.png|thumb|A monarch marrying her fiancé inside the Jacoban church.]]
In ''[[The Sims Medieval]]'', the interactions leading up to marriage are nearly identical to ''The Sims 3'', but rather with medieval-sounding names. Sims can perform romantic interactions until they have the option to Ask to Court, which is similar to Going Steady. After some more relationship-building, sims can Ask for Hand in Marriage, which, if successful, will make the two sims involved engaged. From here, sims have three options. They can choose to Get Married Here, which will cause an angel to come down from Heaven and marry the two sims where they stand, or, if the sim in control belongs to either the Jacoban or Peteran faith, the two sims can marry inside their corresponding church. The marriage will not change any sim's last name or prompt an unplayable sim to move in—it will only declare the two sims married.

== The Sims FreePlay ==
[[File:Freeplayproposal.jpg|thumb|A sim proposing marriage with a mood ring in FreePlay.]]
In ''[[The Sims FreePlay]],'' two sims must perform romantic interactions until they reach Partner relationship level in order to propose marriage. Sims have a choice of five rings to propose with, with each more expensive ring giving a better chance that the recipient sim will say yes.
* Vending Machine Dinosaur Ring - §1,750
* Mood Ring - §8,050
* Silver Ring - ♢3
* White Gold Ring - ♢6
* Eternity Ring - ♢10
If the recipient sim says yes to the proposal, the sims will become engaged. The sims then must fill their relationship bar one more time for the marriage interaction to become available. The sim who did not begin the marriage interaction will then move into the other sim's home, leaving their former home vacant.

There is a limited number of Sims who can be invited to a wedding party. In ''The Sims 2'', players don't need to invite the bride or the groom to the party if they don't live together, because they will automatically come by themselves. Invited Sims will arrive in Formal wear. When the marriage takes place, both Sims switch into wedding attire (formal wear) and head beneath the wedding arch.{{Vgversion|TS2}} Guests will gather around, and the Sims exchange vows and kiss to signify their marriage.
In ''The Sims 4'', Sims can invite a minimum of two guests (excluding the Sims who are getting married) up to a maximum of fifteen guests. They can also optionally hire a [[caterer]], a musician and a [[mixologist]]. Each service costs §250. Musicians will entertain the guests, mixologists will serve them drinks, and caterers will prepare food for them and bake a wedding cake.
A wedding party is scored like a normal party. How well it scores depends on how much the guests are enjoying the party. If players can keep all the guests happy until the end of the party, it will become a great wedding party, and the married Sims will get a good [[memory]] about it.{{Vgversion|TS2}} Otherwise, players can have a horrible wedding party if the guests are not enjoying it, or if the marriage is unsuccessful. If the player wants a wedding party to end well, it is in their best interest to invest in party objects, such as a [[stereo]] and [[buffet table]], and ensure that everyone is in a good mood. In [[The Sims 3]] you can purchase the [[Lifetime reward]] "Legendary Host" to ensure a successful party.
If the wedding party is successful, a limo will come for the newlyweds to take them on their honeymoon. While they are on their honeymoon, their need bars will have a significant increase. If ''[[Bon Voyage]]'' is installed, the player can arrange for the Sims to have an actual honeymoon trip.

To avoid divorce, it's necessary to wait for their [[fury]] with each other to subside or, in ''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'', have them perform the interaction called "[[Life
