A Skyrim player’s wedding was joined by a peaceful frost dragon
A frost dragon joined a player’s wedding in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, a role-playing game set in a fantasy world.
The ceremony took place at the Temple of Mara in Riften, where the player had gathered with other characters invited by the game.
Skyrim automatically selects nearby characters as guests, and a bug may have failed to distinguish a dragon from the usual invitees.
The player said they had done nothing to cause it, but another account says they used the “Bend Will” shout from the Dragonborn add-on to make the dragon friendly.
The dragon stayed peaceful and congratulated the couple during the ceremony.
Similar glitches have led the game to treat creatures or enemies as friends, including in a separate bug involving inheritance letters.

Reports disagree on whether the player had used the “Bend Will” shout on dragons or had done nothing to cause the incident.
