In my case, Lydia just walked out, so I'll go back to that point and maybe not marry her at all. I will look the characteristics of candidates. The Huntress in Riften looks very attractive except for her devoted admirer who will reportedly keep tagging along. Maybe that's not a bad thing.

Three other questions: If I choose another follower than Lydia, she will not disappear, but will remain in Breezehome as housecarl, right? And how to equip housecarls like Rayya in Lakeview? Right now, I can't. Should I make her my follower temporarily just to do this?

Also, what is the benefit of building shrines in the cellar of a homestead? The divine amulets offer some kind of bonus when wearing them, and I think I noticed that the Amulet of Mara gives a bonus even when it is merely in my inventory. It would be great if this bonus is always given if an amulet is installed in a shrine, but that's probably too good to be true. So let's go through this post first : If you want to marry Mjoll that's a good choice, don't worry about her lapdog as he will follow her after the wedding but is so squishy that he will quickly die. If he doesn't or you feel impatient just kill him. He has no other purpose or quest so it's not a big loss.

Lydia will remain at home, waiting to be rehired and it's the same for every follower. As for equiping followers maybe this section will explain it better than me. Quick answer is, go to their inventory.

As for the amulets I recommend keeping at least three of each gods since you have three homestead to build, as well as one of each useful effect to wear. As you find out, building shrines is useful because you have each of them in one place so you don't need to run to that temple far away. You can choose your bonus and cure your illnesses.
