Line 21:
When two Sims who are [[adult]]s or [[elder]]s are in love, they can first get engaged, and then marry. [[Young adult]] Sims can get engaged, but cannot marry while they are at [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]]. If ''[[Bon Voyage]]'' or later is installed, Sims can marry while on a [[community lot]]. With the addition of [[Family tree#The Sims 2|family ties]] and [[Family relationships#The Sims 2|family relationships]], marriage becomes a condition as well as an event, so Sims who are living in the same household can marry. If the Sims are not already living together, the Sim being proposed to will move in with the Sim who proposed as soon as the wedding ceremony is over. For both engagement and marriage, either Sim can propose.
 
Regardless of how the marriage is initiated, and regardless of the gender(s) of the Sims getting married, the Sim who initiates the marriage is the Sim whose last name both parties to the marriage will take. However, a program such as [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]] can [[Game guide:Changing names|edit one or both Sims' last names]]. Also, [httphttps://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=223528 a mod] at [[Mod The Sims]] allows the player to have the Sims keep their last names, or to decide which Sim's last name the couple will use.
 
There are two ways in which engaged Sims can get married, and both can be used with or without a [[#Throwing a wedding party|wedding party]]. The first, and most basic way, is with the "Propose... Marriage" interaction, in which the two Sims exchange vows and kiss to signify their marriage. Unlike marriage in ''The Sims'', this is free, and the Sims do not change clothes. It is also possible for two Sims to get married under a [[wedding arch]]. To do this, select one, click on the arch, and select "Get Married"; the selected Sim is considered to be the one who proposed marriage. Unlike the simple "Propose... Marriage" interaction, when Sims marry under a wedding arch, they will change into their formal clothes, and there will be a short scene of the Sims exchanging rings, with any other Sims who are present clapping in the background. There is no charge for the marriage, but the arch costs §900.
