Re: Among
If I were ever in that unlikely situation, I should say, "Which of you three should I marry?'

So, is it wrong or unnatural? sir.
Let me give you few more examples.
1)Whose book among you three should I carry?
2)Whose car among you three Should I repair?
3)Whose pen among you three did I borrow?
Thank you.

Re: Among
When Bill said either, he meant that both are correct.
Your additional examples are all wrong.

Thank you.
By saying "you three" you suggest that you are speaking directly to the three involved. Are you in the habit of talking to books, cars or pens?

Re: Among
They are all unnatural.
I's simply say:
Whose book should I carry?
Whose car should I repair?
Whose pen did I borrow?
If I am addressing three people, there is no need to mention the fact.

Does it mean so? ma'am.
I am addressing three people and asking question.
For eg,
I am asked to repair a car. I go to the three people and ask whose car among you three should I repair?
