Get Pets from Own Bonding Ceremony?

[kwsapphire]

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the pets from your own Bonding Ceremony?
- Can I have my husband invite one of my alts?
- Would I then be able to swap characters during the ceremony?
- How long does the Alt have to be logged in to get the pets?
- Is there a specific part of the ceremony or reception that must be attended to get the pets?
- Is this even allowed? Or is it considered an exploit?

I bought the Platinum plan for my husband and I not realizing that the pets are for guests, not for us. (I realize this is totally my fault for not reading closely enough.)

Paying $40 for just the mount and two (nearly identical) dresses feels .. less good. I really want the pets too. >_>

I appreciate any help you can provide, thank you!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you get the pet as well.

You do not get the pets at your own wedding, nor is there any way around it. Only way is marrying an alt on a different account to another alt on a 3rd account and then inviting yourself to the wedding as a guest, multiboxing all three since everyone needs to be there and online the whole wedding.

Or just hang around Ul'dah long enough and you'll someday or other see someone advertising their wedding.

Well, that's a shame. <:\

Anyone else on Behemoth have a Platinum package & want to trade invites, then? ;]

Edit: Also, since you indicated that you have to be there for the whole thing.. what happens if you get disconnected? Like if your internet goes out or you lose power or something.. does that mean you don't get your items? Just curious.

Doesn't have to be Platinum. Gold will also give guests both minions.

Unfortunately, yes it does. If either of the actual two people getting married disconnect at any time during the ceremony, even if they come back before it ends, it will still continue the ceremony event to the end, but at the end it will say it wasn't properly completed and basically reset the wedding progress to the point where you were setting up the customizations without giving out rewards to anyone. If the guest leaves they don't get anything either, although I believe they can still come in late(but still before the cutoff point for entry), as long as they stay for the rest of the ceremony to the end.

Got it, thank you very much for the clarification! Once my husband and I get through the quest chain and get to where we can pick a date, I'll have to post back here on the forums to see if anyone's in the same situation & wants to trade invitations.

Thanks again for the info!

I don't know how that can be correct.
- I have a friend who has just the demon box, and not the bridesmoogle.
- The purchase page on the mog station for the gold plan shows just the demon box. Though to be fair, the platinum plan doesn't show either minion.

This page shows both pets for both plans, though:

I just still don't see how that can be correct. The free plan doesn't give any pets, so how could someone only have one of them if the gold plan gives both?

Kya, the bridesmoogle is a newer addition. I had demon box from a wedding I attended after I came back about 3 and a half years ago, then they added the bridesmoogle somewhere in the last 3 years. I ended up seeing someone in Limsa saying they were having a wedding soon and asking if people wanted invites, so I went. Was a lovely ceremony and I got the bridesmoogle (and another demon box).

My daughter got a bridesmoogle from attending mine & Hubby's "anniversary", if that helps. I wish I could have the minions too, all things considered. Seems a bit silly not to - when I got married for real, I made thank you gifts for the attendees, but also kept one of each gift for us for our memory box, and that box gets added to every anniversary.

Haven't ever seen random invites for weddings on my server, but I haven't exactly looked either.
