The Imperial Matrimonial Order was created on 5 November 2023 by Emperor Jonathan I with the passage of an Imperial Edict. The new Order was formed as "an order of merit rather than an order of chivalry... with such not considered a knighthood".

The Imperial Matrimonial Order has a single grade, that of Member. It is "to be granted at the discretion of the Monarch to those who have substantially assisted with or contributed to the preparations for a wedding of a member of the Imperial Family." On 5 November 2023, Jonathan I inducted twenty two individuals in recognition of their role in helping with his wedding to Empress Hannah one year previously.

Although structured in a way that resembles one of Austenasia's five chivalric orders, it has not been ranked alongside them, and due to being awarded for a very specific purpose can therefore be considered more similar in function to one of the now-abolished civilian medals.
