I'm with you. My fiance and myself also share the same surname and since they already hinted that 'special rings' would be reserved for our other finger slot ...it's possible.
It gives me hope after seeing the new race specific gear and the Vanya robe that SE is moving away from recolouring the same meshes and will give us something truly worthy of ceremony (sorry I thought opaline was kinda lazy)
About discrimination... I wonder if inter racial couples would be a feature since we are going to get female/males versions of all... I mean a Roe x Lala combo! o.o
I would actually like to see a 'divorce' quest ... it should be tedious and costly *chuckles* Also it'll make people think twice about getting married in game in the first place ha!
Most of all... they need to set the system up right. They made a rainbow over the Crag the next clear day each time a person became a SMN in FFXI, why not have the peal of bells in town and confetti fall down when someone gets married in town?
If they set it up so there are time slots for wedding (of which you can book months in advance if wanted) ... something like the old dynamis hourglass system where you can pass out the item (invitations) so only certain people can enter (or have a open wedding).
Imagine it... a NPC can organise it all once it is in place.
NPC: whaddya want
Me: book a wedding
NPC: K, when? Pick a location, open or closed wedding, pick from list of decoration options, announced publicly? (via system message and or bells/confetti), pick ring type, type in ring inscription, change surname yes/no, chose cermony clothing type and colour, chose party favours with invitations (when you pass an invitation to a person and they open it they will get a type of firework)
I could think about this all day XD
