HOW TO GET THE WEDDING
So many people have complained that they have missed out on the romance/wedding storyline, that I thought I'd post what I did to get it. I'm not saying that this is the only way to get it, but it is what worked for me.
WARNING

Possible problems you might encounter and how to fix them
1. Astrid loses her weapon.

in console
These stages represent 4 warpaint stages, where 0 is freshly applied, 400 is its absence.
4. Astrid doesn't talk to me or walks away from me!
