Also if it shows in your information when someone checks you that you're married to so and so (if they did something like that) it is less of a chance for some unwanted attention. It's not that you have to marry someone it's the ability to have that choice.

You may think it's meaningless and if people take it too seriously to be creepy pathetic then, I'm sorry about that not everyone else sees it the same way.
Well you can also go into the whole debate that is their personal information and shouldn't need not be shared with the rest of us. So what if they are going out and play the game as a couple, they can share the same surname and bam guess what you don't need anything else to say it. Surname can represent a familial tie, like my brothers and RL friends who play with me share my same surname, kind of our battle tag.

Actually I think I change my earlier opinion and hope devs waste no time in implementing this into the game, as others have said you can make it yourself. Hell if you want make a LS for weddings and sell them, copy the old script GMs used in FFXI and switch out names. Take time to find in game clothes that would be appropriate for the bride and groom and the guests and craft them up and supply them. Craft up rings maybe some that people don't use often (though I do wish you could sign your name on items like in FFXI). After all that sell it to players wanting to get married for so much gil and hold their wedding for them. Run them through a mock wedding first and then post on the forums if you want and have an open formal wedding or don't post and have a nice secluded version. Hell you can hire guards to kill of roaming monsters that agro in certain areas if you wanted too.

I wouldn't mind seeing weddings come way later in 2.0 when we have plenty of content to enjoy and player housing and all that stuff, but it shouldn't be anything that is put on the table now when players themselves can do what they are asking for. Show some effin initiative and make something come alive and be magical without them having to hold your hand to make it so. Also 2.0 will have more diverse areas for setting stuff up like this, though I can think of several awesome places now.
