i was looking for a species of creature my half-orc paladin could marry and darrahan came to mind but i cant find a thing about them anywhere?
I've never heard of a durrahan or darrahan in any way, and google searches basically get me nothing except "did you mean dullahan?"
Are you talking about a dullahan, which are the headless horseman things from Irish myth?

yes i am but they arent Undead their head and body are connected by their soul and magic other then that they are basicly human by the game standards
But since B.B.T. here disagrees with this what do you think i should make for a wife for the H.O.P.?
i did not find that when i searched :(
You could just make them Dullahan with the same stats as a normal human + the ability to remove their head, since a Dullahan in PF seems to not have any actual headless based abilities.
i thought dullahan for a wife when i was watching durarara X2
i also thought half-elf, Halfling, and lashunta.
not sure where i should go with this tho
What does your GM have to suggest?
he suggested to marry a Dwarf but they arent appeling at all
Fair enough. What god does your paladin serve, and what kind of creatures live nearby?
he serves Torage and humans, half-elfs, halvlings, Fey, and the ocasional ogre or troll
Ah, that explains the dwarf suggestion then, as they are the main worshipers of Torag. Humans would be the next closest thing (if you're particularly close to any NPCs you know) as they are frequent worshipers too. Depending on what your character is like, you might be able to identify with a half-elf based on the "between two worlds" angle that half-humans can have. Alternatively, if you can find one, another half-human might work (dhampir, aasimar, oread [people with earth outsider ancestry- might work for the association with torag, etc.) These tend to be rarer though.
A fey would be harder. Lawful fey include the norns, who carry the shears of fate (LN.) Good fey include nymphs (CG). Both may be significantly hard to get them to warm up to. If the GM really liked your idea of a dullahan (is he a fellow fan?), there's no reason why she/he couldn't house rule it as a fey either.

Might I suggest any of the normal humanoid races included in the Advanced Race guide. Pretty much any of those would be decently appropriate.
Why on Golarion would your paladin be married to any sort of monster? At what point would you paladin encounter them and then attempt to get to get to know them well enough to decide you want to marry them?
Honestly, it just sounds like you want something to be different and shocking for the sake of it.

Why don't you marry someone based on their personality and who they are as a person rather than what the look like?

If you want to marry something that has a removable and reattachable head, there is always the Penanggalen.

One possible answer to that is that the GM usually does the acting for the NPC's. If the GM isn't up for that sort of thing, most of the relationship would take place 'off-screen' and just be implied, at which point the NPC's personality would be more or less irrelevant to the actual gameplay and just be used as part of the PC's backstory or downtime. Depending on the players' and GM's comfort levels, that can be the safest and most enjoyable route for the OP's party.
@TheWhiteWingFamily: If you want some of the mechanical weirdness of a Dullahan, your prospective spouse could have class levels in something like Druid, Oracle, Shaman, Sorcerer, Summoner or Witch. Magic can make even the most mundane races kinky, if that's what you're going for. Barring that, I agree with the suggestion above to speak with your GM about Fey.
Is your character interested in settling down, or will they continue to adventure? If they continue to adventure, prepare to have your spouse put in harm's way and being given conflicted senses of duty that may lead to your Paladin's fall.
EDIT: @Imbicatus, EW. Secondly, marrying an evil-only self-made undead probably doesn't sit well with a Paladin of Torag.

I was going to have the wife be someone who would love to travel with my main character and have her be some kind of arcane spell caster because i wanted my descendant to be tri-classing as Paladin, whatever Arcane spellcaster is best suited for the wife, and magus to become proficient in both being a tank and spellcaster without arcane spell failiure chance.
What you're looking for is the Leadership Feat.
i was all ready going to take that feat so i could actually teach my apprentice(a large sized red dragon) on how to be a Paladin of Torage
Wow, this is so beyond any level of game I've ever seen.
Sounds interesting!
the GM gave me a 1-5 chance on a d100 roll to see if it would work and it did!
He hates that but since he gave it a chance to get it he forced himself to allow it and i love it.
i conviced the dragon with the old saying of "God, Glory, and Gold"!
For the record, lad, it's 'Torag.'
really because all the people who work at Paizo spell it Torage
No, they don't. It is even "Torag" in the PRD and the Core Rule Book.
well all the ppl ive seen anyway and i dont own any pathfider books my the GM does and he is in another state.

I would not have said anything had you not said "people who work at Paizo..".
I don't think anyone cares if you spell it a certain way among friends, and I think Khron Stonearm was just messing you, not really serious. I pictured him saying it with a dwarven accent.

'at's racist, lad. It ain't like yer readin' this in a terrible faux-Scottish accent or nothin'.

Learn about Torag here!
I am now aware that I have apparently been pronouncing Torag incorrectly since I started playing PF. It's apparently TORR-awg and not TORR-ahg.

My guess is that TheWhiteWingFamily is a fan of Durarara!!, aka Drrr!! in English - a Japanese novel, comic, and television series, where the most important character is a Dullahan, who had her head stolen and travels to Japan looking for it; the name of the series is a reference to her mount, which she shifted from looking like a horse to looking like a Kawasaki crotch-rocket (so, Du-Ra-Ra-Ra or Drrr being the sound of such a motorcycle in Japanese or English).
He probably thought it was spelled "Durrahan" because lots of fansubbers are absolutely moronic when it comes to transliterating non-English words from Japanese, so the Gaelic "dullahan" gets written as "duRRahan" in some fansubs.
next time i see a worshiper of Sarenrae I'll dump some mud on them(apparently they don't like to get their stuff dirty)

yeah thats right on the money, but dullahan aint happening after looking at the piazo stuff but i still cant deside on what i sould do on the wife topic but i do want to have one thats able to go on adventures with me or one with high enough chamisma to take care of my keep/guild house.
no i mean in pfs paladins of Sarenrae can't let their armor get too dirty

Is there a hidden joke there?
The only god that goes on about clean armor, and all that, is Iomedae.

Sarenrae's paladin code is the following:
I will protect my allies with my life. They are my light and my strength, as I am their light and their strength. We rise together.
I will seek out and destroy the spawn of the Rough Beast. If I cannot defeat them, I will give my life trying. If my life would be wasted in the attempt, I will find allies. If any fall because of my inaction, their deaths lie upon my soul, and I will atone for each.
I am fair to others. I expect nothing for myself but that which I need to survive.
The best battle is a battle I win. If I die, I can no longer fight. I will fight fairly when the fight is fair, and I will strike quickly and without mercy when it is not.
I will redeem the ignorant with my words and my actions. If they will not turn toward the light, I will redeem them by the sword.
I will not abide evil, and will combat it with steel when words are not enough. I do not flinch from my faith, and do not fear embarrassment. My soul cannot be bought for all the stars in the sky.
I will show the less fortunate the light of the Dawnflower. I will live my life as her mortal blade, shining with the light of truth.
Each day is another step toward perfection. I will not turn back into the dark.
Nothing about dirt in there.
at pax east i heard from one of the offical GMs that it was Sarenrae not Iomedae maybe the GM was wrong for once
really cool but we are way off topic here
well not as the dullahan any more just looking for recommendations now
Are kids a big issue and in a hurry to appear? If not and the GM doesn't mind the dice doing weird things then I propose a ghostly bride. Race irrelevant for now, but vaguely humanoid, point is for her to be a ghost or other spirit being and in time someone might gift her a casting of reincarnate.
Just look at the cover of Haunting of Harrowstone and imagine a lovely translucent lady like that. If bard by class she could even act pretty much normally in her translucent state. And when flesh becomes an issue you go and find some way to get that reincarnate into action..and trust the dice to have mercy and not turn her into a pugwampi :D
Find your GM a vastly expanded reincarnation table for added horror at what may come out, but she'll still be the loving lass you knew beneath that cover of..whatever matter it turns out as.
Hope for an oread or maybe samsaran.

I'd actually suggest something a bit more cray-cray:
A wizard BBEG, for... whatever reasons - maybe he just felt like being a complete Richard that day - slew your wife and trapped her in an Artifact that's a black Gem.
The Artifact in question replicates the effects of Soul Bind, but because it's an artifact, normal things like Dispelling and Lift Curse won't work.
Instead, like all Artifacts, it has a specific way that it can be destroyed (Hello, MacGuffin quest!).
Now, her soul is trapped in the Gem, but the Gem was able to be attached to a wooden Golem, creating a Wyrwood, in her visage.
Her body, meanwhile, is kept perfectly preserved by a minor magic item (let's say an amulet), that keeps a permanent Gentle Repose spell over it.
So your Paladin has to go and, uh... do and/or get... something... that's going to allow you to destroy the Artifact keeping your wife's soul trapped in the gem, which is now being housed in the Wyrwood.
