Any Word on Marriage?

Has there been anymore talk of when/if marriage will be added to XIV? Last I heard, there was some controversy due to the idea of gay marriage in-game. Has this been resolved? Marriage would open up some fun possibilities :)

Why is it that all the controversy on marriage is always about gay marriage? Who freakin' cares!?!? This is a video game people, not your idealistic fairy tale.

I agree completely, but apparently it has something to do with same sex marriage not being as widely accepted in Japan as it is in other places. I'm not sure, but that's the only reason given in every article I've read.

Well, as far as I know nothing has been actually confirmed as yet, but, on the last Live Letter from the Producer, amongst other things Yoshi-P showed off what appears to be a bridal carriage pulled by chocobos and what seems to be interior of wedding chapels (one I assume is the interior of the Sanctum of the Twelve in the East Shroud, the other has a very maritime feel to it, suggesting Limsa). No one seemed to notice them due to all the vitriol going around at that time about housing sadly though, which explains the lack of talk on the subject.

Anyway I'll try and find links to the screenshots I've seen floating around of it and post them here. :)

That would be awesome, thank you!

Well, I had to go back through 50 pages worth of bile threads about PvP and housing prices to find it, but here are the links to the bridal carriage and apparent wedding chapel interiors (at least, I think that's what they are):

Many thanks to Abriael for posting these originally (I simply copied the links from his now buried thread, found here: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...8with-recap%29
