Thank You Square Enix from a Happy Husband

[SeriphNEO]

Truly, thank you so much. The world you created is nothing short of breath taking. I find myself falling in love with Eorzea almost as much as I do my new blushing bride. Your game has provided us with something that we couldn't otherwise have. A ceremony surrounded by friends and loved ones. That is something we will always cherish.

My new bride and I decided to get married several months ago, but kept pushing things back until we could sort out how to fund the ceremony. Neither of us really brings in a substantial amount of money. We found it looming more and more over our heads.

And then we decided to pick up Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn. We had both played before but life had kept us from getting too into it. But we've both been lifelong fans of the series, stretching all the way back to the NES and Final Fantasy I. It was inevitable that we would come back.

Falling in love with not only the game, but the world and story that both it and we built within it led us to the decision to have the ceremony in game for the Eternal Bond. It was something that we both wanted. But more than that, it provided us with that sense of closeness. We started inviting more people, and the more we thought about it. The more we wanted to finally tie the knot outside the game as well.

Then, my wife in her infinite brilliance, asked me. "Why don't we just have the game wedding as the real wedding?" At first, I wondered if that would even work. But really, it's just a ceremony. A celebration of our love and devotion for one another. The paperwork could be sorted out later.

So I said, "I think that suits us perfectly." And so, here we are. Our families, many of whom live states away, joined us remotely for the ceremony. It was very touching. People cried, myself among them.

So now, here I stand. Happier than I have ever been before, with my beautiful wife. And I have Square to thank for providing such a beautiful and unforgettable experience that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives.

Thank you.

As someone who can relate to the funds issue for weddings, I couldn't help but smile as I was reading this. Congrats both of you!
