Mentions of Marriage in 1.X
  • The two brother lalafell who work the miner's guild are out to stop the marriage of their sister, which was arranged by their mother at the groom's behest. The sister is hesitant because she doesn't love him (yet) and feels inadequate and like she hasn't even begun to live her own life yet.
  • A sidequest in Limsa features a miqo'te who is using a love-potion-spiked stew to try to get her lalafell pirate crush to fall for her and propose.
  • The WVR questline features a lalafell prince who falls in love with a maid at a ball, but she disappears at midnight leaving behind only a single glove (a la Cinderella). He scours the city looking for the girl who lost it, but this makes everyone in town start placing orders for the gloves.
  • A few NPCs who deny wanting to be in an arranged marriage.

Honestly, it seems that a lot of Eorzean marriages are strategic alliances and arranged marriages; oftentimes either orchestrated by two parties of parents, or one man whose affections towards a woman cause her parents to force the issue.
