It happened! He proposed!…

For our in-game wedding ceremony on Final Fantasy XIV. So, while we’re not quite ready to get married in real life, last week I was taking a nap in bed and he popped the virtual question.

Grabbing my favorite ring (that he got me for my birthday years ago), he asked if I would marry him. I, overjoyed, said of course. He slid the ring on my finger, and it was the cutest gesture I’ve ever seen. I sat on his lap and we looked at the game’s wedding options (which were way more detailed than I thought!). There were so many steps to completing this ceremony that I couldn’t even fathom what planning a real life wedding must be like. It almost deterred me completely – why not just sign the papers and celebrate with people at a cute restaurant?!

Anywho, we’ll have to schedule a date to get married in-game. Then we’ll have about 1.5 – 2 weeks to send out invitations and party favors. You can get your hair done, dye your wedding clothing, choose the color theme, the music, etc. Intense, right? What’s hilariously great is that your ring binds you together in-game. You can teleport to one another (and you have to “divorce” your husband/wife if you want to get married again). This is the most complex marriage system I’ve seen in any MMO so far.

Many screenshots will be taken! And I’ve finally figured out the best way to screen record the game. Stay tuned for a future posts with our wedding pictures ;).
