[[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'''.

In ''[[The Sims]]'', any two opposite-sex adults can get married. Either [[Sim]] can propose, but the proposer must be at home to do it. Whether the other Sim accepts or not depends on their mood or the relationship between the two Sims. If the other Sim accepts, however, both Sims will change into their formal clothes and share what's either a dance or a polite kiss, and the proposing Sim will be charged §1000. Sims who don't have §1000 can still marry; they'll be charged half of whatever funds they have. The Sim who was proposed to will take on the family name of the other Sim and move in with them.
Since there are no defined family ties or [[Family relationships#The Sims|family relationships]] in ''The Sims'', the option to get married is not available to Sims who already live together. Players can stage marriage ceremonies between Sims who live together, but the "Propose... Marriage" interaction won't be available because they're already considered part of the same family.

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, [https://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.
Line 40:
When a Sim is left at the altar during a wedding party, those who attend will have a lowered relationship with the Sim that left the other at the altar. The closer the attendees are to the Sim who was left at the altar, the more they will dislike the other Sim.

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 [[Party|bachelor(ette) party]], where a skimpy-outfitted dancer shows up to dance. Children are not allowed to be invited to the party but children who live in the household where the party will take place may stay. They can then either have a "Private Wedding" by marrying on the spot or a wedding party, which can either be done at home or on a community lot. Other features in marriage include wedding arches, where Sims can opt to get married under, and wedding cakes, which is a lot similar to the birthday cake except the newlywed couple cuts the cake together instead of blowing candles. After a marriage, both Sims will also be granted vacation time from work, to provide a honeymoon.
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 [[
If the player wishes for a Sim couple to get married, the player first must build up their relationship until they are in love, and have a romantic interest. Then after they have a full relationship bar, the action "Propose Going Steady", under the romantic section, will become available. Sims will then become boyfriend and girlfriend. Eventually, they can opt to marry.

[[File:TS4 wedding.png|thumb|250px|A wedding ceremony in ''The Sims 4''.]]
In ''[[The Sims 4]]'', marriage functions similarly to ''The Sims 3''. Sims must first go steady with a romantic interest before they are able to propose (by selecting the "Ask to Become Girlfiend/Boyfriend" interaction), and they must also have high friendly and romantic relationships. [[Noncommittal]] Sims are more likely to reject a proposal than other Sims, even if the couple in question has a high relationship.
After Sims are engaged, they can either elope or plan a wedding. Family members' surnames are not changed after a wedding, but the player is free to change names by editing Sims in Create a Sim. If a newly wed couple doesn't already live in the same household, the household management UI will appear and prompt the player to move Sims and funds between households as they see fit. Otherwise, there will simply be a notification letting the player know they can move Sims between households.
