Lore/ RP question regarding married. - Rhaq'ir - 02-11-2015
Hello all.
How do you go about married in the game, without using the eternal bond?
No specifik race, in mind.
I have done som research, but i can't seem to find any lore related, regarding this subject. Just that people are spouses, and that's it.

There isn't any, to my knowledge. The Eternal Bond ceremony does make brief mention that they do not have any authority on the matter (the moogle does, anyway. kisswedding bestwedding) but consider you joined anyway. Beyond that, I imagine it's similar to just declaring your spouse is your spouse, and people having to accept that.

As far as I can tell, there's not much info on marriage weddings, but they'd seem common and easy enough. According to one unnamed NPC, same-sex marriage is fine, and then you have the whole Tam-Tara Deepcroft story.
As for actual RPing, it's enough to just say you're married, even though I have that one friend who refuses to acknowledge it and just calls me "bonded" every time I RP with her.
*grumble grumble*
Edit:forgot about that Hildy arc, but again... scant info.

You can just make up your own version. Before the ceremony several people ran wedding type events. Also within the ceremony itself you can customise it a little, maybe check some videos of the different options to see if one of them would suit.

I was under the impression that eternal bonding, was in fact marriage?

Can't attest to the not-moogle weddings, but the mog specifically states that he has no authority to marry anyone.

It makes it ironic/sad that the most romantic wedding ceremony choice is bookended by that little line of dialogue.
Personally, I just choose to ignore it.

Ahh I never did read up on the lore, since A'mon isn't really quiet the bonding/marriage type of character (not yet anyway) Just thought it was implied!
Man I'm learning more about the game thru the forums here then I do actually in the game!

We're sort of the filtered/condensed version of all of the game text. Combined to form Legion a community, we are many!
If I had to bet, it's due to Japanese social norms being a bit... different... from what people expect in 2015.
To wit, the moogle's dialogue was something akin to "While I have no real power vested in me, that doesn't mean we don't believe that you two are a pair!" or something similar.

It is, just the official term of Eorzea. Hence why a lot of times I just use the word 'marriage' as opposed to going through some long-winded method of working 'eternal bond' into my dialog.

...except it isn't, as I mentioned regarding the moogle wedding. He explicitly states the ceremony isn't official.

I said 'official term', as in this what they refer to it as... ?

...so you did. Whoops.
I don't know if that's the official term, though. If it was, wouldn't there be no need to state the ceremony doesn't dictate anything? They made a big deal in-game about the ceremony being available, does that mean people weren't able to be married prior to that? Beyond that, it's in the Shroud. What about people in Limsa? Farmers in Ul'dah? Poor folk unable to make the trek?
I don't have hard lore for it, but it's my opinion one can be wed without Bonding, and one can Bond without being wed.
RE: Lore/ RP question regarding married. - Desu Nee - 02-11-2015
IMO, the ceremony in the game is akin to a religious marriage. It's marriage, yes, but it's more about the ceremony than something truly set on the papers, whereas the civil wedding is that. AKA, the Bonding is "just" that, a ceremony to make the moment even more special, and have the blessing of the twelve of something
Disclaimer: I haven't done the marriage and I doubt I ever will, tfw no qt 3.14
RE: Lore/ RP question regarding married. - Gone. - 02-11-2015
I'm sure the Eternal Bond ceremony can happen anywhere, we're just limited by game mechanics to the location in the Twelveswood (which could always change in the future, who knows).
The 'ordained' Moogle is more or less the comedy option and let's be honest; no one would allow Moogles to officially wed couples for obvious reasons, hence the smartass comment he makes. What a marriage means is pretty subjective, anyway, you know?
