So... Is this the equivalent of the girlfriend who pulls a knife on you if you wear a fancier than usual suit to work? What happens if they, like, shower? The beard-braids are gonna get undone. Is part of their 200-year marriage vows to never even change the number of braids in their beard-braid as it grows?

Like, all else aside, it just seems dumb to use marriage tattoos on something so changeable. They're bakers! What if it catches fire, or some tears out from industrial machinery?

EDIT: Also, clearly a straight couple. The dwarf on the right is clearly female, you can tell by the lack of beard jewelery, which is reserved for adult male dwarves. Darn humans can't even tell male and female dwarves apart, just because they both have hair!
