maybe the sex is the vow??? idk how marriage works in general lmao
traditionally, marriages weren't considered "complete" until the consummation (sex) of it, so while the ritual might have started with the vows, it would've been considered incomplete if the couple didn't have sex to confirm it
If the ritual is completed once they've made their vows, why would they need to have sex? Oh well. *activates suspension of disbelief*
