[Request] Add new venues for Eternal Bond ceremonies

[BillyKaplan]

I'd like to see new options made available to where you can get married in-game.

Some possible venues:
1. Royal Menagerie (the newly added location; locked behind story progression)
2. The Valentione's venue the Moogles built in this year's event.

Pros are obviously more options, and putting existing assets to use. Also opening up more time slots for ceremonies as you'd have more venues to hold them in. Even if not more people will actually get married, it'll give everyone more options (possibly reserving a different venue to access a more convenient time-slot).

How about it? Would you get married there? What else would you like to see added?

It really would be cool to broaden the horizons on this. While I'm 50/50 on the Royal Menagerie based off the events of the game, it's a beautiful place. It would also be cool to have different styles of weddings. A Hingan-themed wedding in Kugane Castle? Something Ishgardian in St. Raymanaud Cathedral? Even an instanced spot on the plains for a Steppe-style wedding. You could still have the existing styles there, too, of course.

Personally, I'd like a Gold Saucer wedding for that authentic "Vegas wedding" theme.

The only real hurdle I see for something like this is the resources required for something like this, even if there were separate prices for each venue and wedding type associated with it. I'm sure there's some excuse about the lore in the wedding questline that could be made as well, but it's mostly the resources.

Live letter 45 mentioned adding new Ceremony of Eternal Bonding Ceremonies in 4.4. Maybe they are incorporating some of these ideas!

[BillyKaplan]

It sounded more like straight ceremony options rather than venue changes, but I'll take it! The "renew your vows" thing in particular was a v. nice and welcome addition, I can see myself using it for certain charas

Some city-state themed weddings avenues would be great as well.

1. Gridannian : A forest grove with an animist wedding.
2. Limsan : A ship for a pirate wedding.
3. Ul'dan : To be fair, the "Vegas" wedding in the saucer would fit here as well, but it also could be in an Oasis for a bedouin style wedding.

Also other crazy ideas themes, beast tribe style wedding :Require both participants to be at least the highest reputation level with the particular beast tribe (meaning not required to have done the united beast tribe for ARR, HW, or SB (when it finally come out)), it would be highly themed, filled with the appropriate puns.

1. Sahaguin : Underwater ceremony, followed by a fishing contest in honor of the couple.
2. Amalj'aa : Ceremony in the desert, followed by a good stomping of Ifrit worshipers.
3. Sylph : Wedding in a mushroom grove, followed by a prank contest
4. Ixaal : Ceremony held on Ixal ballons, that the couple and guests must build themselves
5. Kobold : Tunnel wedding, followed by a mining contest to prevent the death of said kobolds.
6. Moogle : Ceremony on top of mallows, but the couple and the guests must find enought kupo nuts to motivate the moogles to do their job in the ceremony.
7. Vath : Ceremony in the open air, followed by an epic bridal quest.
8. Vanu : Ceremony amid the clouds, followed by a dance competition.
9. Kojin : Ceremony in the pool of tribute, celebrated by Susanoo himself (We having a celebration at his place, would make sense he show up and take over the poor Kojin).
10. Ananta : Indian style ceremony, followed by acting a Bollywood movie.
11. Namazu : Steppe Au'ra style ceremony (like InkstainedGwyn suggested), followed by a Naadam style fight where guests try to claim the married couple for their "tribe"
