[SPOILER] Post game
I know Gemma isnt the most complex and likeable character in the game and she by far is the least devoloped only to be surpassed by your own mother in that regard but, how you get married to her is so sad you essentialy mind control her in marrying you. They could have easily had a prompt at the end of the rebuild quest line to marry her but instead we have to wail on 2 half naked demons in a hell space between realms. Also being able to marry any of your companions except gramps would have been cool seeing as I like serena alot. TL:DR I think mind control is a dumb move and not needed seeing as she would have said yes anyway.

What I don't understand is why the Hell do you need a wish to marry someone who would say 'yes' before your knee touched the ground.

I loved the idea of marrying Gemma but it was executed very badly =/. The wish was not only totally random (like most wishes) but i expected to see a cutscene of their marrige. A nice cutscene with all the characters, where everyone is happy and such. In the end all the character would get together and the cutscene would fade over to the artwork that on the wall, that would have to be soo sweet but SE missed this opportunity.

Well you do get something, when you party chat in the house.

The way I see it, it's not mind control, just making something official that was heavily hinted at all the way from the beginning. Come on. That girl keeps telling you that she wants to be and live with you when you get back "happily ever after" I think even. She keeps telling you that she will always wait for you LONG before you even get to make that wish.

Seriously, people claiming this to be mind control clearly didn't read the dialogue.

You can marry Martina(Jade) in the Japanese 3DS version.
There is also a wedding rehearsal where you can practise marriage with any of your party members.

They might include those in the Switch version if that ever comes out, who knows.

The same way you got the highest horse race in the game is the same way you got married in the game, a thought was placed in her head. Even Jade says she won't mention what durst did in that dungeon when you party chat with her in your home. So it was you that didn't read the dialogue.

Read it again. There is no single mention of a thought being planted in Gemma's head. For the race on the other hand he explicitly states that he did.

You're just wrong on this one.

No you can't. This is a rumor spread by trolls.

Gemma's the only marriage candidate on the 3DS as well. Except there she becomes a guest party member after you marry her.

Ok here is what I need you to do for me, boot up your game (assuming your married) go to your home and party chat with jade and read what she says, yes it is never stated but it is heavily implied. Also Durst just said you are now wed without her being present or having a say so you tell me what is going on there.

Maybe in the Japanese 3DS version -_-

Honestly I don't want to hate on it as much, but Gemma's not reeeally a character. If anything it feels like there's no guilt in pretty much not choosing to marry her, but the game still wants to pretend you always had a connection despite the fact you only get like 2 items from her that by that point barely have much use, she's never fighting alongside you after Cobblestone, so why should the player care that much? Most of the game I already spent the thought knowing she was dead, having that would've been more impactful in comparison, but instead it's just being written off as almost fan fictional ish story for some nerd to enjoy. It feels wholly tasteless imo.
