Marriage in Pentito is a mix of romance and risk. You send a proposal to another player, pay for the ceremony up front and choose the tone of the wedding with a theme, vow style and celebration. If they accept, you get engaged and move on to planning the actual ceremony.
Before the wedding can happen, the proposer must invite at least one witness who lives in the same city. You can optionally assign a wedding car; that vehicle is temporarily unavailable while the ceremony is running. Witnesses can send a gift, and that gift is split evenly between both spouses.
The most important setting is shared property. With shared property turned on, both spouses lose half their money if they divorce. With shared property turned off, the player who files for divorce pays a fixed fee instead. Check this carefully before you confirm the proposal or the wedding.
Sometimes marriage is blocked by the world state. If the officiants have left town, new proposals and weddings cannot be completed until they return. When that happens, the page will clearly tell you that marriage is currently unavailable in your city.
