If you posess a marital home in the same town (which you are using for yourself), the NPC will now give the hero the option to marry him, resulting in a short narrative scene and a dowry of gold if you accept. That's the point where the hero can make a proposal by gifting a (real) Wedding Ring which'll turn the heart into a golden one. At some point the heart will reach its biggest size and have a dark-red colour.

More expensive items have a greater effect, but take care not to always gift the same item. You can do this by using expressions (e.g. The higher the disposition, the bigger is the heart above the head of the NPC. To successfully marry someone, you first have to raise their disposition towards yourself. Marriage in Fable, Fable: The Lost Chapters and Fable Anniversary offers limited benefits such as allowing sex, a dowry of gold and receiving the occasional gift from your spouse. Making negative expressions at their spouse and keeping them in poverty are ways to make him or her unhappy. Your spouse may also divorce you if he or she is unhappy enough.

Showing affection and keeping the daily allowance ( Fable II and Fable III) for that family at a reasonable level will stop them from having negative feelings about you. If they are set in towns, the Hero's spouse will not leave that region unless divorced or moved. The Hero will be required to set them to a marital home (all games) and arrange a marriage ( Fable III only) after proposing, which can be any purchasable home commonly found in towns. The Hero of each game can get married to most of the minor NPCs they see in the games, as well as some awarded from quests (such as Lady Grey in Fable or Elise/ Elliot in Fable III), who have unique character models.
