I found this WIKI page that lists the marriage candidates and what property they OWN prior to the marriage in case the Player does not own any property yet to bring their spouse to.
http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Skyrim:MarriageFor some reason Bethesda has totally outbalanced the marriage-able women with houses and businesses 8 to 2 !!! Only two men looking for marriage have owned property, but eight of the women do? What the heck is wrong with that picture?
Also, there are no male High Elves on the list. The voice actor for the Dark Elves is different than the actor for the High Elves - meaning that the High Elves will not have the special dialogues after marriage (like the Khajiit don't).
I return to my rant about the looks of the prospective spouses - the women are overall pretty to look at. The men look like they were dug up from the dregs of an active sty.
Really not happy with Bethesda's selection at all. So now, in order to marry a male NPC that is NOT on the list (one that owns property, is clean, and decent looking) - a person's only choices are the races that are on the list if they want to experience the special dialogues that come after marriage.
Does anyone know what the special dialogues (spoken) are? I saw the women calling the men "Darling" and stuff, but I'm talking about the special dialogues for the males candidates.
