Wedding Hose  

Ok. i may sound big headed for this but i got the answers to everyones problems (at least for the Van Diel Wedding) i found out exactly how it works. this may take awhile to explain....

1) You must have a Chaperone. Its basically the Best Man (or woman, can be any race/sex). Basically just pick a friend who you know will be at the wedding. Very important for the Chaperone to show up. The reason you have to start with a Chaperone is because the Wife nor the Husband can file for a Wedding Application, it must be done by the Chaperone.
2) The Chaperone needs the names of the 2 to be wed and the names of the main weapon they carry (example: Obelisk Lance). Its for the ceremony. No money is required yet.
3) The Chaperone then goes to the screen after the main screen that allows you to check your Playonline mail, buddy list, etc. The Screen has a "Play" button on it. You normally go here to enter into the game and pick your character. Instead of hitting "Play", scroll down to "Compendium". This will bring you to a screen with about 5-6 options in a circle. spin the circle to Wedding. In here will be various options with further information about the wedding and at the bottom will be the "Application". Click on "Application" and fill in all the required information.
4)Once the application has been sent, the GM will let you know when the wedding will be. they will inform you of the Time, Place, and Date.
5) ONE HOUR BEFORE the wedding starts, the bride, groom and chaperone must meet the GM at the wedding locale. they will go over the ceremony, write the vows, and buy the wedding dress. the wedding dress is 50k and can only be bought at this time. it is not required to be married and can not be sold back. there is no tux for the guys, sorry. just to put your minds at ease, the opaline dress is NOT the wedding dress. the wedding rings will be given out at this time too. all guests of the wedding will receive Fireworks for after the wedding and will be able to use them and use emotes to celebrate.
6) Once the wedding is over, its over. Thats it. No sharing of mog house, no exp, no money or increased skills. Just married. Oh, and you got the ring to show u did it.

Now that we have that out of the way... Lets fill in all the blanks.

-Weddings can only be held Wednesday-Sunday. For some reason you can NOT get married on Monday or Tuesday. Tell your Chaperone what day and date you want to get married. Your application will be returned in a week, if not then resend the application.
-Times to get married are 2PM, 5PM, and 7PM Pacific Standard Time (PST). You can ONLY get married at one of these times. Tell your Chaperone what time you want to get married.
-The rings: Your wedding rings can be engraved in one of 2 ways... Either with initials or names. Example: Jeff and Sue are to be married. the rings can say: grooms ring: StoJ bride: JtoS meaning Sue to Jeff and Jeff to Sue. or the grooms ring can say Sue, and the brides would say Jeff. Either way, tell your Chaperone how u want it BEFORE he puts in the application.
-As for your level, the 2 to be wed must be at least level 20. Not my rules, just has to be.
-All guests must be on time. Any big distractions during the wedding will cancel the wedding. Also if guests are late the wedding may be cancelled.

Locales and their cost:
-First off, to reutter, the dress is bought in the HOUR BEFORE the wedding. it is 50K but not essential to get married. there is NO tux. and the chaperone must have the money to pay for it. the bride nor the groom can buy the wedding dress or pay for the wedding. The costs below are rental costs and do not include the dress.

Ok, so where do you want to get married...

There is a chance you can be married elsewhere. When filling out the application you can put in an alternative site. Its the GMs choice if that is an ok locale for the wedding. Restrictions include heavy traffic areas like the Auction House or places with lots of fighting going on. If you must get married somewhere else, ask the GM and if its ok then go by these prices. Remember, only a certain amount of people may be able to fit into your locale. The GM should specify the number of guests you may invite.

Guests: 3-10 Cost: 20k
Guests: 11-18 Cost: 30k
Guests: 19-36 Cost: 80k
