Elindr is the owner id The Drunken huntsman in Whiterun. I want to marry him. I am on pc. Can someone please tell me how.

In order to marry an NPC, he must be in the proper faction. To add him, enable the console, click on Elrindir and type:

addfac 19809 1

Then:

setrelationshiprank player 4

That should add him to the faction and make him receptive. You may have to disable then enable him for this to work. Then, when you wear the Amulet of Mara, if it worked you should get the "are you interested..." dialogue.

Be aware that Elrindir may not have any marriage dialogue: to my knowledge, none of the marriageable NPCs have his voice actor, so the voice files for marriage dialogue may not exist with him.

Also be aware that messing with the console can screw things up badly. Keep a copy of a "clean" savegame from before you attempt this so you can revert back to it if things go wrong.

OK, good news! After further investigation, I've found out that Elrindir should have marriage dialogue: his voice actor also voiced Odfel, who is a legitimate candidate for marriage.

I have done both of those commands and no marriage dialogue. Maybe I have to disable and enable?

Yeah, try that. Also make sure you're wearing the Amulet of Mara--and that you've talked to Maramal in Riften previously so he could tell you how marriage works in Skyrim (you can't marry anyone without having done that first).
