This is kind of a shallow question but I've been thinking about this for a while now since the ending of 2.

First the basics Main Shep stayed faitful to Ash....went through the Ashely appreciation thread and came upon a little link called "FanFiction/badpie." Needless to say I was enthraled with the stories and I began thinking about 2 again and this is why I made the topic.

Out of all the games I've played I've never been as enthralled as I have with the characters as I do for the MassEffect as a whole, because of this I have become somewhat cheesy with the whole idea of 3 and the end of in my opinion one of the greatest games I've ever played.

I was wondering if there would be a even if it is a 1% chance to get into the game...we could see a marriage side quest. 

I dont think it has to be super huge like a grand scale thing but maybe on the Normandy with just the crew looking on a sorta fast ceremony...before we go into the FINAL fight.

I dont know if it would work for the LI's in 2 but for the people that kept their Mass1 LI I think it would work....Bio said that there would be a perk for staying with them.

Anyone feel the same? I would think since its a sidequest the people that dont like the idea wont need to trudge through it but the people that would like to see shep get married would be delighted that it was included.

"Commander Shepard, do you take _________ to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I should go"

Femshep would be funny

"And do you Garrus take....."
"Can it wait, I have some calibrations I need to take care of."

The writing is quite good in these games. So yes they could pull it off beautifully if they so desired. Don't necessarily think Bioware would go there but I have no doubt they could do it well.

I'm not obsessed by this or so, but neither I'm cathegorically against it. Honestly I can't see this happening for all the LIs... I can't imagine Jack or Garrus married honestly, the ME1's LIs, Tali, Jacob and a little Miranda yes. In case, it should be written greatly as usualy and there should be an option to refuse the marriage without dumping the LI... until now everything was so pick A or B in the romances...

Cannot imagine this happening unless the Reapers have already been destroyed.

That. Which I think is a very good idea to be honest. I'd really like to be able to keep playing in the Galaxy after saving it for a bit (If it was saved) and do some things that weren't previously possible like marriage.

When it comes to this point I like bringing up Red Dead Redemption as an example. I don't want to spoil it but after killing the bad guy in that game the game goes on and has something you could call 2 more endings after that. part of that is that your main character retires and lifes with his family on his ranch enjoying the fruits of his hard work throughout the game. Marrying your LI after the beating the Reapers in ME3 and maybe having 2-3 more small side quests related to what happened afterwards would be a nice way of doing something similar (nothing big. Just something small like the Citadel Quests in ME1 for example)

Do we really need something like marriage in ME? I really don't see the reasoning behind it. There are so many factors involved. Plus, it would be nice if they put some thought and creativity into the LI relationships instead of something like marriage. It's a silly backdrop if you ask me.

A marriage side quest in an action oriented game is pure cheeze.

The only way I see it working and not being terribly sappy is with Ashley. We know she's religious so I could see a quick duck into some admiral's quarters (Anderson?) for something on the spot and quick because they both might die tomorrow.
The other characters... I can't see it being that important to them to need to say vows in a ceremony when there are reapers to fight. Especially the alien characters. Don't forget marraige started out as a way to exchange property and may not have happened on other planets.

Not sure if I would like to see Shepard get married to be honest...

Well like I said. As something optional after you defeated the reapers, why not? Doesn't even have to be marriage imo. Just what became of everyone after the reapers were defeated. Some sort of epilogue. Check out the ending(s) of red dead redemption for reference  (and beware the soilers in that link) After you have beaten the "bad guy" in that game you return to your family and the live on your farn until... well watch the link

I'd take anything that brings depth into my Shep's story, provided it is well-written and entertaining.

Plus, Liara plot is like kinda settled for it... so yeah, bring it on...maybe not any blue babies, but marriage is fine by me., it'd be interesting to see how each love arc ends. Needless to say, it'd be Liara for my Shep XP.

You know, I actually like the idea.

I honestly think that whatever the romance sidestory consists of, it will end up with a (quasi) sex scene and perhaps an epilogue mention. But, in-story marriage could potentially work if written well.

The idea of getting married in the face of mortal danger already exists as a fairly common trope in movies and TV. Two characters have gone through either a will-they-or-won't-they for a long time or were in a genuine relationship and suddenly realize that they may never get the chance if either one of them dies in the oncoming disaster/end-of-world scenario.

With some characters, I could see this as a mutual thing (Ashley, Kaidan, Miranda, Jacob, and Liara).

Some of the aliens might not have similar customs, but care for/respect Shepard enough to do it for his/her sake (Tali and Garrus).

Thane might have significant issues concerning his previous wife, but I could see a very high Paragon persuasion bringing him around to the point where he would do it for Shepard's sake.

Jack... well, you can imagine what she would say to the idea, but I think even she might relent if the situation was dire enough. After all, her relationship with Shepard is characterized by deep trust, something she has been unwilling to risk previously in her life. Again, a very high Paragon persuasion could conceivably bring her around. Good luck trying to get her in a wedding dress though.

I don't see the marriage itself being anything more than a quick ceremony on the Citadel or the Normandy. Getting married on the Normandy would pose an interesting problem... since Shepard is the captain, who would perform the ceremony, EDI?

I would love to see the various squadmate's opinions on the situation, ESPECIALLY those of the other potential love interests.

[grifter024]

This is what I mean by sidequest...the people that see this as pure cheese dont need to go through with it until their last playthrough.

I also said that this would probably only work with the first LI's Ash/Liara/ and MAYBE Tali.

Plus I personally think that in 3 Shep will die due to it being the end ...sorta a last ditch effort to rid the world of the reaps once and for all so a quick "I Do," Might be sappy but I think could elevate the drama for the player considerably.

OF course I've been reading those badpie stories lately since I barely found out about them and became enthralled with the idea as of late. Of course if they dont go that way I will still be satisfied.

It's because I'm a Garrus fangirl, isn't it?

Anyway, as touching as the idea of Shepard finally settling down and leaving the Big Goddamn Hero business to someone else is, I'd much rather they not put it in the game.  Too sappy, and ME's not a love story.  Some cutesy little open-ended cutscene would be fine (akin to riding off into the sunset), but I honestly think what happens to Shep after ME3 should be left to the player's imagination, assuming you didn't get yourself killed.

Sometimes, what you don't see is just as powerful as what you do.

And besides, in my case, I want Garrus to go out and be his own person.  Same with Liara, Ashley, and Miranda--they still have potential to grow, to become more than they are now, and I wouldn't want to tie them down with "the quiet life."  They have the potential to be Big Goddamn Heroes in their own right.  My Shep should be passing the torch, not throwing a bouquet.
