Lore is also important at least to provide some set of guidelines. XIV doesn't have the massive class backgrounds like WoW does (which has roots in the real time strategy Warcraft games, as opposed to XIV which is standalone).
Even then we had to get a little creative from time to time. The cross-faction wedding I once attended had a druid of each faction presiding over the ceremony to overcome the forced language barrier, and the vows were written along the lines of how Night Elf and Tauren societies seem to think based on lore and previous games (bride was a night elf druid, groom was a tauren druid).
We'd need info to help further define the mindset from each city state (partially done so far but more info is needed), along with some racial mindsets where applicable. Help establish traditions as well as establish who is in charge of ceremonies (i'd imagine Conjurers in Gridania, while Thaumaturges in Uldah, and possible Arcanists in Limsa). There's a lot of background that's really needed, and as willing as I am to see players help develop it, in the end it is a task for the writers behind the game's world.
