All the deities and the sages requested lord Shiva to get married, but Shiva did not want to curtail his freedom by getting married. When the deities insisted he told them to find a suitable match for him.
Brahma and Vishnu told Shiva about the tremendous penance Uma(AAdhi shakthi) was doing to him (Shiva) as her husband. They also requested him have to go to her (uma) and fulfill her desire. Lord Shiva agreed.

i think , the devtas and all were trying to make shakti and shiva meet but they couldnot , i think as mentioned in the serial it was 108 times since shakti took a birth to be with shiva but coulldnot due to some or other reasons . so , lord shiva was shown to be having worn a ring of heads of skulls . but , really didnot married before sati and parvati . . .

Adishakti has taken 108 births but Shiv has married Adishakti Sati first and than Parvati who is his consort for life.

I may be wrong about this please feel free to correct me. I head or read somewhere that Lord Shiva rejected one adi-shakti avatar because the avatar was frighting to lord shiv.

Please mention your source, where such a thing is writen.
Shivji's Mahakal form is ferrocious, it can be seen only before one's death. How can he get frightened & reject her?
Regarding 108 births of Aadi Shakti, if it was true, all the births should have been listed in some sripture as it is not a minor thing that can be ignored. It's a myth, doesn't have any Scriptural support. Her first birth was as Sati, next was as Parvati.

i dont think shiva had any wife b4 sati and parvathi.
shakti was born as sati but since their marriage had a dosh it couldnt succeed and eventually sati had to give up her life due to her dad's insults as she thought that he didnt deserve her as his daughter.
again shakti was born as parvati and we all know shiv-parvati r the eternal jodi.
there may be many folk tales etc. but they r generally based on local assumptions n r hence mostly not true.

Shakti was born as Sati first.. as Daksha has got a boon as per Devi Puran ( Enlightened by Meenu di )

And Sati was not a complete form of Adishakti.. She couldn't include adishakti's power in herself properly so The marriage couldnt be succeded ...

And Shiva never had a wife ... LOL how could shiva be married to any one else rather than adishakti Shiva and shakti was the creator of there own.. Shiva was Shav and providing E from shakti he kept his name Shiv these are just stories to make people understand.. Puranas were Sadhu's and Rishi muni's imagination which they saw in a very complicated version in their meditation but they simplified those as Puranas.
