NPC Disappearance during Marriage Event - Cheerful young bride and groom with guests dancing on street with sparklers in hands during wedding party

I asked Onmund (from the college of Winterhold), to marry me. He was my follower. We were in Riften, and he left me at midnight to go to the temple of Mara. I arrived at the temple an hour later, and he never showed up. I stood there all day, and then I fast traveled out and back. The priest chewed me out for not showing up for the wedding. He has never shown back up either in Riften or at the college. I looked for his body just in case he died, but never found him around the city or in the hall of the dead. How do I get him back, or is he gone forever?

I have the PS3 version of the game with all of the downloadable content.



Best Answer

The marriage system is kinda messed up. Half the time you dont see entry and exit between the temple. Just ask him to marry, then wait for a day and a quarter. The quest should remind you to go to the wedding. Hopefully that guy will be there.
