persons. The spell allows polygamy. Also, no gender restrictions. You can marry all of your party into one big family, RAW. You may need to check the local laws, though.

By the way, the spell does not allow for divorce - it's strictly "till death do us part".

    I mean, with resurrection being possible I think divorces would be far less often.

    But especially in rich families there would probably be a lot of murdering and resurrecting, just to get out of some forced marriage.

    The spell allows polygamy

    Does the +2 stack in that case?

    No, the spell is only cast once, for all partners at the same time. "A creature can benefit from this rite again only if widowed".

    Does it stack though? If n people cast ceremony on a party, does that mean they get +2n AC?

    EDIT: I read the rules. And completely read over the latter part of your comment. "A creature can benefit from this rite again only if widowed." 😢

    +2n AC

    Even if the rules worked that way, it would technically be +2(n-1) AC, since you don't get any bonus from yourself.

    Wouldn’t the entire policule need to be close for them to get the bonus then? That doesn’t sound like the best tactical strategy.

    It says you can't benefit from it again unless widowed. Once someone is they can benefit from it as often as they want.

    Also, you could still marry someone else and have them benefit from it again.
