persons. The spell allows polygamy. Also, no gender restrictions. You can marry all of your party into one big family, RAW.
You may need to check the local laws, though.
By the way, the spell does not allow for divorce - it’s strictly “till death do us part”.
Say you have an AC of 15 and an attacker tries to hit you they roll a 15 or higher with a 20 sided dice it hits you. (Meets it beats it)
However your opponent also can have boosts to to their attack say a magic weapon adds plus 1 or something so they could roll a 14 plus the 1 to reach 15 thus hitting you. Then they roll damage with another dice dependant on the weapon.
So if the characters are then married they get a plus two to their AC and now have 17 and the 15 misses
can you stack? ie, if I had a couple of clerics and a paladin, could they buff a teen coming of age, dedicate to a deity, and then marry - into some kind of broken superbuff?
please explain this to me
The marriage spell( ceremony) gives you plus 2 ac when next to the person you cast it with.

Does the +2 stack in that case?
No, the spell is only cast once, for all partners at the same time. “A creature can benefit from this rite again only if widowed”.
No. Benefits from spells of the same name do not stack.
It says you can’t benefit from it again unless widowed. Once someone is they can benefit from it as often as they want.
Also, you could still marry someone else and have them benefit from it again.
I mean, with resurrection being possible I think divorces would be far less often.
But especially in rich families there would probably be a lot of murdering and resurrecting, just to get out of some forced marriage.
And just for the next 7 days (ingame). Kinda tough social commentary on marriage.
Sorry to ask, but what is ac?
A dungeons and dragons term for Armour class.
It’s how you determine if an attack hits you.
Say you have an AC of 15 and an attacker tries to hit you they roll a 15 or higher with a 20 sided dice it hits you. (Meets it beats it)
However your opponent also can have boosts to to their attack say a magic weapon adds plus 1 or something so they could roll a 14 plus the 1 to reach 15 thus hitting you. Then they roll damage with another dice dependant on the weapon.
So if the characters are then married they get a plus two to their AC and now have 17 and the 15 misses
Thank you.

Good question, I’m actually not 100% sure! This seems point to ‘no’ since its the same base spell:
