Marriage customs vary considerably between the lands and major faiths, though all appear to be religious ceremonies between one man and one woman (who should not be more closely related than first cousins). Wedding ceremonies involve the exchange of vows in the presence of particular sacred witnesses, and are followed by a feast, where the bride and groom eat and drink with everyone. Afterwards, the bedding takes place, where the marriage is consummated.

Wedding ceremonies differ between religions. While a priest is involved in ceremonies following the customs of the [[Faith of the Seven]],{{Ref|ASOS|28}} [[Lord of Light]],{{Ref|ADWD|49}} and likely the [[Ghiscari]].{{Ref|ADWD|43}} Ceremonies involving the Faith,{{Ref|ASOS|28}}{{Ref|ASOS|60}} the Lord of Light,{{Ref|ADWD|49}} and the [[old gods]]{{Ref|ADWD|37}} involve the exchange of a "maiden's cloak" and a "bride's cloak".

Wedding ceremonies are generally followed by a feast, which in turn is followed by the [[bedding]].{{Ref|AGOT|11}}{{Ref|ASOS|28}}{{Ref|ASOS|60}}{{Ref|ADWD|37}}{{Ref|ADWD|49}} For highborn weddings done by the Faith of the Seven, it is customary to present a wedding pie during the feast, filled with living birds.{{Ref|TMK}}{{Ref|ASOS|60}} [[Dothraki]] wedding ceremonies might last the entire day, during which the guests feast, drink, dance, and fight. Towards the end the bride is presented with her bride gifts, after which the marriage will be consummated.{{Ref|AGOT|11}}
