This won’t play out ICly because it happened 10 years ago but I’m working on a story where two Lalafells get married. I just wanted to pick everyone’s brain about it. Do we know anything lore-wise about weddings? Have you attended a wedding ICly? Do they consult a priest with their god of choice? Does the ceremony resemble RL weddings? Just throwing it out to the community to see what y’all think!
There is very little lore when it comes to weddings, only inter-racial breeding and Miqo'te breeding specifically when it comes to marriage/couples. I'd say it's free game to come up with whatever you like. The act of wedding exists, but there's very little, if any details on it.
-IF- there was lore, however, it would most likely be handled under the Twelve specifically, and not just a certain deity. The Sanctum of the Twelve is probably your best place to look to find information on it within their quest lines, though it didn't seem to work out if I remember right.
I have a character that's about to get married to another. We've not found any solid lore of "traditional Eorzean weddings".
However, we've played it simple. Costia actually engaged the act over the holiday season by suggesting the two "exchange laurels".
Costia and Alex come from rather different backgrounds, his being somewhat traditional Ala Mihgan-raised highlander and hers being... well, a fancy pants-Gridanian-raised highlander. Alex is enough of an intellectual to know lip services and ceremonious acts do not a loved pair make but the two plan to have a small service (in the near future) to celebrate such a thing..
We're having priestladythingamajig Eva be the oath-sayer and some fancy attire (if they're able to scrounge gil together.. their home burnt down and they've been vagabonds for awhile!)
So long story short, we're filling blanks in the lore... assumed to be a ceremony citing Memphia and Nohpica in particular due to love and fate and all that mushy stuff as well as the other Twelve, but probably paying those two more mind.
