I don't see how anyone is against this discussion on behalf of "wasting resources". Were those people also complaining when the Firedance (which actually included an emote) was included? If you've been in FFXI you'll know that weddings are ultra-cheesy, and unimportant, but a way to make a linkshell have some fun, be dorky and socialize (a thing that many posters need to try some day).

I never got married in FFXI, like I've said before, SSM wasn't allowed and I kinda found them too cheesy since I never expected them to happen. But now, SE has the chance to make a change, and to stop excluding a segment of players. Marriage will be included, that's not up to discussion, it's just up to SE to continue making a group of players alienated just because of their sexual orientation.

I'm not saying I will get married the very first day it is possible, but if I can't because my boyfriend is playing a male Roegadyn instead of a female, I'll be really disappointed in them.
