I think we finally found a purpose for Culinarian. Wedding cake!

[Fensfield]

What about polygamy?

Honestly? I'd support that idea. Eorzean culture does not seem like it'd be massively incompatible with that sort of arrangement.

I was wondering how long it would take for the slippery slope derp to enter this thread. GG

i vote no to weddings in game in general, they are a pointless waist of resources. they were almost never used in ffxi. i doubt most care to use it. it's like the chocobo races and pretty much any mini game or side thing in ffxi, no one did them and those rooms and zones were empty all day.

That is not very true, the wedding schedule was filled constantly, I was on a waiting list for over a year, before I finally gave up. (was going to marry a friend of mine, she played a male character ;p)

Yeah basically this. Just because you didn't know anyone getting married doesn't mean that it was never used. There was a hella long waiting list. Especially when they first launched the feature. I saw people with wedding rings equipped every other week.

Honestly, I'd like to see the marriage option. I just got married to my ig and rl gal yesterday.

I'd rather have the option to have dresses, suits, and matching engraved rings, and as to the rest of it leave it to the players to roleplay. Leave the controversy out. The funny thing is, that as in RL most of the loudest voices demanding same-gender marriage most won't bother, its just a weak red-herring argument for "equality," which to me is tantamount to an atheist demanding to be part of the Eucharist service at their local church, who cares, leave people to their own rituals.

As a side note: It's mildly idiotic to hear so many people try to sound, "beyond" marriage, and talk about how unscientific or unenlightened it is; as if they were our brilliant, Vulcan overlords. It is a basic social unit, which at it's best is an agreement that fosters cohesion, meaningful cooperation and grants a following generation a superstructure to grow up in with certitude and two examples of adulthood representing each major gender.

From a sociological perspective its an outlet to provide a basic environment to sustain life, assign meaningful roles, teach the general mores and values of one's society, and is more meaningful than many of the other social units we form, and more useful than a great many, "necessary" social structures we demand in governance and society daily.

Leave the controversy out.

I agree with your entire post except for this part. I don't quite get what you're trying to imply here. Yes or no homo-marriage? Either answer could seem controversial.

[RolandDebreton]

That's why if they leave it up to literally being a choice made by the individual for their own personal roleplays within the game there is no "controversy." Just supply us with the accouterments and matters will take care of themselves.

Pick a good place to invite your friends and LS to. Get your LS leader or some other close friend of importance to macro up the words of a ceremony, wear your wedding, "gear," trade the rings at the appropriate times. Then, have your culinarian friend (so practiced at turning fish to sand) make a treat and trade to everyone. Include some well placed fireworks, march away while avoiding aggro after some screen shots.

Boosh, you're done, and it leaves SE from having to make any decision more than making a wedding dress and suit.

I view it just the way I did ballista in ffxi. Don't particularly have any interest in it myself,but if it makes people happy then I'm all for it.
