I know this is a pretty minor issue but I also see that it could be fixed with probably very little work so I thought I might try.
When the wedding service changed over to being an automated and in-game controlled system, they managed to keep most of the original system intact and also expand upon it and make things generally more accessible, which are all well and good things. Some may remember that you had to pick certain locations for the wedding to be held, which included a couple areas (Morhen Lighthouse in South Gustaberg, an area on a cliff above Sarutabaruta) that were wedding exclusive areas set off from the rest of the zone. Unfortunately unless there is some mechanism that I'm not aware of, these areas became off limits as a result of the change to the system.
Although like I said, its a minor issue, it would be nice to have access to these areas because it was kind of nice to have a wedding in a place that wasn't easily accessed or that was set away from where players would be exping, etc. I also think it would be pretty easy to remedy, here's a couple ways it could be done, depending on how you want to do it.
Keep the spots wedding exclusive: At the new wedding NPCs create an option to hold your wedding at one of these locations, make them pay a gil sum if you want. Give them a time-sensitive item that can be traded (like a perpetual hourglass) around the time that the wedding is set to be held, and have them give that to all their wedding guests. Create one of those ??? spots on the ground, which will allow them to be teleported to the top of the lighthouse, for example, and then place a ??? at the top of the lighthouse to let them back down, and have the item consumed upon trading.
Open it up to everyone: Simply do the above but skip the item and menu additions and just add the ??? near the spots for the wedding, that allow you to teleport to the locations back and forth. People would be unlikely to hang out and AFK there anyways since there's nothing up there.
Like I said, small issue, but it'd be nice to have this feature brought back, and maybe even add additional spots like this!
