Eternal Bond (Marriage) System

They had an actual application process in FFXI because a real live GM officiated the ceremony and there were lines you need to remember/macro do do them. My wife insisted we do it back in the day and was pretty fun. Now though it's just a get your rings/etc and do your own thing kind of situation. They could just set up a few instances of different locales and have sort of a cutscene type thing with your characters that everyone gets to view if they want to speed up the process.

But if official SE employees will be officiating again then an application process will be necessary

Holy cow! You didn't have to write/macro your own vows did you?

We did actually, they had some preset for you depending on what job you were. Some of them were a bit cheesy but it was cute, we also had a part where we got to say our own little thing.
It wasn't required to macro them but when Square contacted us about after we got approved they recommended it to ensure it went smoothly

As cute as it was - it's wayyy too much bother for something that is essentially fluff content. Not to mention they will actually have to take up GM time from actually performing important GM tasks to officiate a wedding... With a game that had maybe 250k subscribers in its heydey it might have been manageable. This game is a lot bigger and would require a lot more GM time and effort. It just seems like a waste when they could have a couple of scripted events or even let us select someone to officiate (like a FC leader) and not have to tie up SE's live resources or wait until one of them is available.
