Eloping.

Why are you required to have a big pompous ceremony to be surrounded by fake people whom you cannot really stand in order to get officially married? Why cannot there be a feature for those who just wish to elope and not have to deal with trying to hunt down someone who has their own agenda, who does not care for you to begin with and swamped with their own things to type the correct syntax.

Xenthos and Shayle had no big pompous ceremony-- just a little thing in Viravain's temple with Viravain. Nobody else was there at all.

Arel ninjamarried us while I idled at the Ravenwood and he passed by because he wanted to see if the syntax worked.

You can run to a high-up Order member after you've been engaged for 24 months, say to them, "Marry us really quick?", and then run away. It works. content.gif

Xavius and Shayle were married by Estarra in a manse on a whim.
Dugan2008-10-05 22:52:24
We tried to find someone who could come in real quick and do it. Everyone was too busy. Almost every tell was send me a message, don't send a tell to me. The ordertalk was just ignored completely. Dugan isn't anyones favorite in Celest or the order and he isn't anyones pet so no one jumps through hoops for him.

For those that it did work out for, congrats. Wish it would have for me too.
Xavius2008-10-05 22:54:30
Then send a message, and someone will get around to it when they have time?

Emo=bad
Diamondais2008-10-06 09:40:35
Yeah, you can have elopes. Just find someone to quickly do it and ditch.

Gregori and Sarrasri jumped me as Dia and then went oh, you're married now!

Then Ex and I stole Synl and made him do the thingie, he attempted to be himself and I tried to shoot him down. huh.gif

I'll marry you anytime I'm around

Well, the next time we both are, I would appreciate it.

Let people marry themselves at 48 months perhaps?
Daganev2008-10-06 20:12:49
I demand common law marriage.

If you are in the same manse for over one IC year together you become married!
Aerotan2008-10-06 22:22:55
While I'm all for that idea, Gods know Syrii would be all over that like spots on a cat, I'd just like to point out that you have to wait 24 months to be married at all, so declaring it after 12 is kinda silly tongue.gif Now, when they've been engaged for several RL months and nothing's been done about it, talks need to happen. (Yes Thiden, I'm looking right. At. You.)

The 24 IC month period however assumes that you are doing something in generally. I'm saying that if yo uare in your manse together for 12 straight IC months and you never leave it at all. (except maybe logging out.. MAYBE)
Rika2008-10-07 00:31:01
That is just retarded.
Daganev2008-10-07 00:32:13
no, your mom.
Lawliet2008-10-27 20:46:45
Both of Lawliets marriages the person who married them wasn't even there, one was off hunting and the other was somewhere in Seren, the only thing I would say was that there should be a message saying it happens, or you can go for ages and not notice tongue.gif
Estarra2008-10-28 21:20:35
There's enough players around who can conduct marriages that I'm sure you can easily get someone to do a quiet civil ceremony for a fee (you are offering a fee, yes?).

... people charge money for weddings? confused.gif
Shurimaru2008-10-31 15:28:45
Shuri and Amat's marriage was just her, him and Revan standing around talking.
Suddenly, Revan said, "You're married now."

I was kind of disappointed, Amat and I had huge wedding plans... >.>
