Real Money to Get In-Game Currency: Eternal Bond Edition

For future reference since the bracelets are going to be sold for gil regardless. They should either be bought in pairs, one bound to you and the other trade-able and made bound to your significant other or you should completely adjust the system to make all purchases bound to your account. If anyone wants to buy a gift for a friend, an option to do so in the cash store should be available where you enter their character name/server and the bracelet will be delivered to said person.

Boom, problem solved.

What if people just say "Trade me the X Gil and I'll buy you the Bracelet"? You're ideas are not bad, but they aren't the solution either.

How about a combination of the two:

First off, Bracelets are sold in pairs. Let's assume player A wants to marry player B. In order for player A to marry player B he has to input the character name and server in the page. Once both Bracelets are delivered to player A (since he made the purchase), have the Bracelet from player A be untradable and unique (Idk if they're unique already, I haven't bought any of this wedding stuff), while making the second bracelet tradeable. Both of the bracelets would have some kind of stamp, that would restrict their use to the couple that it was bought for in the first place. This would prevent people from selling the bracelets to individuals they're not actually commited with, and stop most of the issue. Alternatively you could just make the second bracelet tradeable ONLY to the player that's written on the stamp (player B).

I don't know how hard that would be to code/implement in game, as I have no experience in programming or game development. Also there would still be the problem of people selling actual weddings, I've seen people on PF saying "Will marry any race/gender, PST for price". But I don't think there is a solution for people selling the WHOLE thing, wedding and everything.
