Will Turner and Elizabeth Swann before their marriage aboard the Black Pearl.

"I apologize if I seem forward, but I must speak my mind. This promotion throws into sharp relief that which I have not yet achieved. A marriage to a fine woman. You have become a fine woman, Elizabeth."
James Norrington to Elizabeth Swann[src]

Marriage (also called matrimony or wedlock) was the official union of two individuals, usually a union of mutual love and attraction. Such a union was often formalized via a wedding ceremony or marriage ceremony. The ceremony may be officiated either by a religious official, a government official or a captain of a ship.

History[]

"Ummmm, darlin', this doesn't mean we're married now, or anything like that, does it?"
Jack Sparrow to Amenirdis, after she put a golden ring on his finger[src]

Following his promotion to the rank of commodore, James Norrington proposed marriage to Governor Weatherby Swann's daughter, Elizabeth, only for her to choose young blacksmith Will Turner instead.[1] Will and Elizabeth were ready to be married, only for Lord Cutler Beckett to interrupt their wedding day upon his arrival to arrest them.[2] It wasn't until the titanic battle around the maelstrom that Will and Elizabeth married, presided by Captain Hector Barbossa.[3] By this point, the infamous pirate Captain Jack Sparrow believed marriage to be a wager on who would fall out of love first.[4]

Mayor Dix of Saint Martin was married to a woman named Frances, who cheated on him with Jack Sparrow prior to the opening of the Royal Bank of Saint Martin. Her infidelity was discovered when Sparrow's crew of the Dying Gull attempted to rob the bank. Several days later, Sparrow ended up in a wedding of his own at Hangman's Bay, forced to marry Pierre "Pig" Kelly's sister, Beatrice.[5]

Behind the scenes[]

"I just thought I'd be married by now."
"I like marriage! It's like a wager on who will fall out of love first. You know, I am captain of a ship. I could perform a marriage right here on this deck, right now."
"No, thank you.
"
