So, I got the amulet as loot from a dungeon, but I never get any extra conversation options when I'm talking to people. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how it can be fixed?

yea im wondering about that too.

I believe you have to go to the temple of Mara first and talk to the priest about marriage. Then you will get the option

I've done that as well.

You also have to be wearing the amulet and it only works on a limited number of people as far as I can tell. After you help Ysold in Whiterun she'll mention the amulet and also the sister of the general store after you retrieve the golden dragon claw. Not everyone will be interested. You know they are interested when you first talk to them they mention the amulet of Mara. I think there may be a gender restriction as well depending on who you talk to.

Don't think there's a gender restriction, both Aela and that dude in the companions gave me options when I spoke to them.

These are the people you can marry:

With me as a male Dunmar (Dark Elf) and completing up to becoming the leader of the Companions the only women in Whiterun or Riverwood that were interested in marriage were Ysolda, Uthgerd and Camilla. None of the others on that list said anything. So obviously there's something restricting marriage there. I had also slain the first Dragon and visited the Grey beards and had the house in Whiterun with Lydia as my housecarl. Racial restrictions maybe?

It depends on how good your reputation with them is.

How do you marry Lydia? It wont work on mine and it's the only character it doesn't work on that I've tried. I made a topic about this yesterday but no one replied >.<

Yes I've gotten the amulet.

Yes I've done the quests for the Jarl of WhiteRun

Well I thought after helping Aela with her vendetta and also becoming the leader of the Companions she'd be suitably impressed but sadly, I was mistaken.

You need to fully complete the Companions quest line to get her, she's one high maintenance chick heh.

i think you forgot the female in the inn at Whiterun something The Unbroken

Lydia's marriage thing evidently is bugged, or at least bugged for some people, so unless you're running console, you're SOL until/unless Bethesda releases a patch with a hotfix.

I'm gonna post this here as it's the most relevant place, but does anyone know if

prevents you from marrying muiri? Everytime I talk to her I just get the "thank you for taking care of it for me" line even while wearing the amulet. Am I missing something for her?

same and it is seriously pissing me off.

I think that you did have to kill the optional target..
