I totally agree that this is messed up. My hubby got the highest tier for Eternal Bond but we could not schedule because I could not be online at that time, due to work. Was it even stated in -any- of the quests that BOTH players have to be online to schedule? Except for, you know, at the exact moment when you try to schedule the ceremony?

If you already have the bands and have gone that far with the quest, it means that they have mostly agreed on everything. If people don't agree on the schedule, they can always re-schedule or cancel. What about friends in different timezones who want to use the Eternal Bond feature? What about people even in the same timezones but with different work schedule?
