Matrimonial licence

Whilst adventurers may marry as they please (with the blessing of a suitably-privileged officiant), some may wish to commemorate their union with a matrimonial licence. A matrimonial licence alters the way their married status appears to the world in their list of honours. The artefact licence is a gilded, well-calligraphied square of heavy parchment which, once signed, can bestow the marriage status with the following appearances:
He lives his life bonded in marriage to <spouse>. He is the ball to <spouse>'s chain. He is the chain to <spouse>'s ball. He composes life's concerto with <spouse>. He lives happily ever after wedded to <spouse>. In sweet companionship and love, he is wedded to <spouse>. He is too poor to divorce <spouse>. He walks hand in hand through life with <spouse> at his side. He fulfils a dream and looks forward to years of happiness with <spouse>. Matched in service, he is bound in matrimony to <spouse>. He and <spouse> have entered into the sacred bonds of marriage. He has learned to always say "Yes" to <spouse>.
The licence applies to only one partner, not their spouse. It is also single-use only and more must be purchased from the Shop of Wonders in Delos if subsequent changes are desired.
