In contrast, her younger sister Lysa also married into another Great House when she wed Jon Arryn , and in the present day Lysa is pervasively known as "Lysa Arryn" - so perhaps it had more to do with the fact that the Tullys, while a Great House, weren't considered as prestigious the Arryns were also kings once.
Alternatively it really might just have been down to personal preference. Children usually take the name of their father's House, regardless of whether their mother continues to be known by her maiden name or not. This is probably due to the male-preference primogeniture laws in most of the Seven Kingdoms.
Dorne , however, is apparently an exception, given that unique among the rest it follows gender-blind primogeniture laws. Doran Martell is the current Prince of Dorne , but he inherited the title from his mother , who herself inherited rule from her own parents. Doran, Oberyn , and Elia therefore used their mother's surname, apparently because it was more prestigious.
It is unclear if this would happen in the rest of Westeros i. The wedding ceremonies that mark the beginning of a marriage vary between different religions and cultures.
The Faith of the Seven has large wedding ceremonies filled with numerous prayers, customs, and vows. The ceremony is officiated by a septon , one of the male priests of the Faith it is unclear if septas , female priests, can also officiate at weddings.
Wedding ceremonies are typically held within a sept , the religious structures of the Faith. Septs are seven-sided buildings, with statues or icons of each of the Seven along each wall: weddings are conducted with the bride, groom, and septon standing between the statues of the Father and the Mother.
The members of both families and guests form an audience to witness the ceremony, separated by an aisle in the middle typically, the bride's family on the left side behind her, and the groom's family on the right side behind him. The audience and the couple face forward towards the space between the two statues, while the septon faces the audience and the couple.
There are several other events before the main ceremony, which usually occurs around mid-day and is followed by a feast lasting into the night. Sometimes a wedding breakfast is held at which gifts are presented to the bride and groom. This wedding breakfast was seen at the wedding of Margaery and Joffrey but not the wedding of Edmure and Roslin.
The novels actually mention that it is specifically a local custom in the Reach , the region ruled by House Tyrell , to hold a wedding breakfast at which gifts are presented, before the main ceremony, which might explain why this wasn't seen with Edmure Tully and Roslin Frey who are from the Riverlands. Each of the Seven Kingdoms may in fact have its own local wedding customs that are slightly different from each other.
The novels also explain that there are two wedding breakfasts held separately: one is attended only by the bride and the women of her family, the other by the groom's entire family men and women and men from the bride's family. This explains why, in the TV version, when Joffrey is presented with gifts at his wedding breakfast, Margaery and Olenna Tyrell are not present though Joffrey's mother Cersei and Margaery's father Mace Tyrell are present.
The full wedding ceremony in the Faith of the Seven is a long event filled with many prayers and vows; it is quite long compared to the simple exchange of vows in the wedding ceremonies of those who follow the Old Gods of the Forest. As a result, the TV series has never shown a single wedding ceremony from start to finish , but has skipped around in time for several wedding scenes to show several different key points from the ceremony, i.
The full wedding ceremony might last over an hour, but the TV series only has time to show about two to three minutes' worth of clips from each one. As of the end of Season 5, the TV series has presented five wedding ceremonies from the Faith of the Seven:.
Piecing together different points from different wedding ceremonies seen in the TV series, a general description of what the full wedding ceremony is like can be compiled:. First, the officiating septon recites several prayers to the audience, including readings from their holy text, The Seven-Pointed Star. During these initial prayers, the groom waits with the septon between the statues, while the bride waits outside of the room.
Next, the bride is ceremonially presented to the groom, by being led into the room and down the aisle to him. The bride is typically led and presented by her father. In all observed cases, they walk down the aisle side by side, taking each other by the arm, with the father on the right and the bride on the left - then after being presented the couple stands in front of the septon with the bride still on the left and now the groom and the right. If the bride's father is dead, her brothers or other close male family member often lead her down the aisle instead it is unclear what happens if a bride has no close male relatives and the current head of her family is her mother, etc.
After walking down the aisle, the father silently presents the bride to the groom - without exchanging any dialogue unlike the wedding ceremony for the Old Gods of the Forest. Sometimes the bride wears a veil which is pulled back when her father presents her to the groom Roslin Frey , but many brides simply forego wearing a veil Tyrion and Sansa, Margaery and Joffrey, Margaery and Tommen. Now that the couple are together, the ceremony between them and the septon begins in earnest.
The septon tells the groom, "You may now cloak the bride and bring her under your protection. In some weddings the bride doesn't start out with her own cloak, but all include the step of the groom putting a cloak around her. The septon then proclaims, "My lords, my ladies, we stand here in the sight of gods and men to witness the union of man and wife.
One flesh, one heart, one soul, now and forever. The couple holds hands as they stand side by side. The septon proceeds to tie a ribbon in a knot around their joined hands literally "tying the knot" , which symbolizes their union. While tying the ribbon the septon says, "Let it be known that [Names and Houses of the bride and groom] are one heart, one flesh, one soul. Cursed be he who would seek to tear them asunder. Edmure and Roslin recite their vows, ending with " The septon them commands, "Look upon each other and say the words", at which the bride and groom recite their vows, both of them speaking simultaneously.
From this day, until the end of my days," while the bride at the same time says "I am his and he is mine. From this day, until the end of my days.
Having exchanged their vows and kissed, the now-married Tommen Baratheon and Margaery Tyrell turn to face the audience and receive their applause.
This last line is the central vow of the ceremony, to the point that unwed lovers are known to playfully quote it by telling each other "I am yours and you are mine, from this day until the end of my days" or variants thereof as an expression of love.
Joffrey said this to Sansa in Season 1's " A Golden Crown " when he was briefly trying to be kind to her, and gave her a Lannister lion necklace though it wasn't clear to the audience at the time he was quoting a phrase from marriage vows , while Tyrion and Shae said it to each other in Season 2. Finally, after the vows are finished, the groom announces, "With this kiss, I pledge my love," and kisses the bride for the first time. They both then turn to face the audience, who applaud.
The traditional Pigeon pie at the royal wedding between Joffrey and Margaery. Following the ceremony, a wedding feast is held for all attendees. Among the nobility these can be quite large and extravagant, particularly for royal weddings.
Traditionally a large Pigeon pie is served at the weddings of the nobility commoners often cannot afford such a large meat pie, or sometimes not at all. The pie is meant to be large enough that every guest can have a slice. It is also traditional for the bride and groom to be the first to cut the cake and taste it.
Roslin Frey is carried away from the wedding feast in a bedding ceremony. After some time, the traditional bedding ceremony may take place, a ribald practice in which the newlyweds are carried to the marriage bed to consummate their marriage by having sex for the first time after everyone else leaves the room.
The feast continues for the guests. The idea behind the bedding custom is that it helps to confirm that the marriage was consummated it therefore seems to be more common among the nobility, who are more concerned about bloodlines. The bedding custom is not a requirement, however, and sometimes the couple simply skip it, and just quietly leave the feast for their wedding chambers where they will consummate the marriage that night. Sometimes a couple who wish to marry for love, against their family's wishes, will perform secret weddings.
These are still considered lawful so long as they are conducted by a septon and the couple speak their vows, though the ceremony won't be as large or include a big audience.
Tyrion Lannister explained in Season 1's " Baelor " that when he was fifteen he eloped with the commoner Tysha when he was a teenager by bribing a drunken septon to marry them in secret but then the septon sobered up and told his father, then Tywin had his guards gang-rape Tysha, had the marriage annulled, then sent her away and Tyrion never saw her again. Robb Stark and Talisa secretly marry - in a Faith of the Seven style ceremony conducted by a septon. The circumstances of Robb's marriage are very different in the novels, in which the character he marries is actually named Jeyne Westerling.
The showrunners so drastically altered the character that George R. Martin felt it wasn't even the same character anymore, and asked Benioff and Weiss to at least acknowledge this by outright renaming the character. At any rate, Robb's wedding ceremony to Jeyne was never actually shown in the novels - though given that the Westerlings seem to follow the Faith of the Seven, it is quite probable that they were married under the rites of the Faith of the Seven by the castle's septon.
In the TV version, a septon ties a knot of ribbon around Robb and Talisa's hands, in the name of the Seven - but this is actually how Robb's own parents were married in the novels.
The TV version shows Robb having a Faith of the Seven style wedding ceremony with Talisa - which caused some confusion among viewers, given that Robb seems to closely follow the Old Gods of the Forest like his father Eddard, while if Talisa is now from Volantis, she wouldn't follow a Westerosi religion at all unlike her book counterpart, Jeyne. In fact, Eddard himself married Catelyn in a Faith of the Seven style wedding.
The Old Gods wedding ceremony is very simplistic in contrast - nor does the religion have any priests or holy texts.
Given that the Old Gods "don't have many rules", there happened to be a septon available and TV-Robb just chose this ceremony for fun, almost on a whim which is entirely plausible in-context.
Robb did incorporate some Old Gods wedding elements at his own: held at night, by torchlight, apparently in a godswood. There was no large audience so many steps were removed from the small private ceremony. Indeed, on closer inspection, it seems as if Robb Stark's wedding is almost a hybrid of the Faith of the Seven and Old Gods wedding ceremonies: it isn't performed in a sept at all, but seems to be held in a local godswood in front of a large tree. Moreover, Faith of the Seven wedding ceremonies are typically held during the day, while Robb and Talisa's wedding is held at night by torchlight - which is actually how Old Gods style wedding ceremonies are conducted.
The religion of the Old Gods simply has no clergy, so the wedding ceremony is usually officiated by the father of the groom Roose. In the North , where the Old Gods of the Forest still hold sway, there is no clergy in the religion so the wedding ceremony is apparently simply officiated by the head of the groom's household usually his father.
At night, the bride is led to the heart tree at the center of the godswood, with lanterns set up to light the path. The wedding ceremony is conducted at night in a castle's godswood , before the sacred weirwood heart tree at its center with a face carved into its trunk ages before, so that the ceremony can be witnessed by the Old Gods.
The guests carry torches to light the area, and the groom waits before the heart tree with them. The bride is ritualistically led to the group gathered around the heart tree by a member of her family - usually her father or one of her brothers but it can also be a ward of their family.
After leading the bride before the heart tree, he formally presents her to the person officiating the ceremony - overall this is similar to the part of the wedding ceremony in the Faith of the Seven in which a bride's father or other close relative if her father is dead leads her into a sept and presents her before the officiating septon at the altar.
The bride and groom exchange vows before the wedding guests assembled in front of the heart tree. After the bride is led before the heart tree, several ritualistic lines are exchanged between the officiator and the person presenting the bride. First, the groom's father demands who comes before the Old Gods. The bride's presenter responds that they have come to beg the blessing of the Gods for their marriage, before asking who comes to claim her:. The groom steps forward and announces his claim before asking who gives his bride away.
The bride then agrees by saying "I take this man", and the wedding is done. The entire ceremony is simpler than the longer wedding ceremony in the Faith of the Seven which involves more steps and the lengthy recitation of various prayers, etc. As with the Faith of the Seven, after the ceremony at which the vows are exchanged, the wedding party celebrates with a large feast. Sansa Stark was wed to Ramsay Bolton in such a ceremony. Since her father and brothers were all thought to be dead, Theon Greyjoy, who had been Lord Stark's ward, gave her away while Lord Roose Bolton, Ramsay's father, officiated the ceremony.
The Free Folk clans that live beyond the Wall called "wildlings" by the inhabitants of the Seven Kingdoms also follow the religion of the Old Gods of the Forest like their Northmen cousins do as both descend from the First Men. Wildling social customs, however, are apparently much simpler - given that they don't have a hereditary system of inheritance necessitating political marriages between different aristocratic dynasties.
Having captured a woman, a wildling man prevents her attempt to kill him with a dagger: as a result, they are "married". The "bride" can and often will try to slit his throat, and if he prevents her from succeeding, quite simply they are considered "married". Wildling women - many of whom are spearwives capable of holding their own in combat - want a husband who is strong, quick, and cunning.
Thus if a man manages to capture her and overpower her attempts to kill him, he has proven that he is worthy and earns her respect. Given that Jon Snow managed to capture Ygritte, and later had sex with her, they could technically be considered "married" in wildling culture. Similarly, when they had sex in the novels, Gilly exclaimed that she is Samwell's "wife" now.
The traditional Dothraki wedding ceremony is a daylong feast in which gifts are presented to the new couple. Displays of personal combat, duels to the death, and wild public orgies are commonplace at such feasts. A Dothraki wedding without at least three deaths is considered a dull affair. The wedding feast lasts from dawn to sunset, at which time the new husband and wife consummate their marriage.
Because the Dothraki spend most of their time riding on the open plains, everything of importance in Dothraki culture is done outdoors under the sky. Thus, on their wedding night, a Dothraki couple rides away from the main camp to the open plains, and consummate their marriage under the stars. It isn't clear if any further ceremony or religious invocations are made at a Dothraki wedding, as no priests seem to be present.

Because for true collectors, and die-hard fans of the series, new crafts are always welcome! Two statues have been revealed with a Standard and an Ultimate Edition of the Night King coming to life. His designs are recreated beautifully from the hit HBO series. It only gets better for fans who purchase the Ultimate edition.
The Ultimate version adds two undead warriors to the statue as he rises them from their frozen graves. The undead can be attached and detached at the base of the Game of Thrones Night King statue, allowing for multiple display options.
The Undead Frozen King is expected to release between October — January , and pre-orders are already live right here. Game of Thrones prequel House of The Dragon has been a topic of chit chat amongst the lovers of the hit fantasy series. The show has displayed huge potential so far, and promises to improve on some of the key aspects that made the original show a blockbuster.
The fans are already looking forward to meeting the new dragons, and also have a look at the legendary Valyrian steel swords. Though not many were left by the time Game of Thrones sets in, the prequel series will showcase quite many of them. This is because many Valyrian steel swords were lost during the Dance of the Dragons , a civil war that would be the prime focus of House of The Dragon.
Condal talked about developing props for the show. He invited the head of armoury Tim Lewis for the show, and they discussed adding special details to the weapons to be used in the prequel show. He notes it was used in a stunt and had to look a certain way. Condal goes on to mention, in the course of discussing other movie swords, how important worldbuilding is and making everything feel like it fits together.
Lewis mentions that no writer has ever spent so much time in his workshop before as Condal has. The showrunner is always eager to come down to the shop to look at new things or discuss issues. Condal again emphasizes the importance he placed on attempting a specific approach to make things all fit together while also hoping to have weapons that will be iconic. On being asked whether the Valyrian steel swords on the show will draw from the designs in Game of Thrones, Condal confirms that he and Lewis had discussed the idea that the furniture of a sword—the hilt, the pommel, the guard—might be changed over time, due to damage or changing fashion.
He reveals that the first season features three Valyrian steel swords, while keeping mum about the name of the swords. Connect with us. The Eyrie. The Bloody Gate. The Westerlands. Casterly Rock.
