Yes the player character doesn't matter at all only that the npc is marriageable and the requirements are met, make sure you beat Benor in a brawl and have gone though all the dialog about marriage with Maramal the priest in Riften (also maybe buy a Amulet of Mara from him some you find don't always work). Then wear the amulet talk to him and see if the dialog is there.
