FINAL FANTASY XI Official Web Site

The wedding service that has blessed countless couples in the holy bonds of matrimony will soon be reborn as an easier-to-use and even more extravagant service!
All of you out there thinking about a beautiful wedding in Vana'diel, why not ask one of the in-game NPCs about that special moment with your partner that will stay with you forever?

It's been difficult to answer all the wedding requests up until now due to the restrictions on weddings such as applications needing to be submitted by a chaperone and Wedding Masters being overbooked. Taking all of these issues into consideration, we've re-evaluated the entire wedding process and have decided to implement a new wedding system with the following features. We hope that everyone who's ever dreamed of getting married will soon realize that dream.

A new wedding page!
Starting with the knowledge you'll need to get married, you might want to first take a look at the special wedding page we plan to add in the near future. This page will be packed with information on the Wedding Masters' lines and movement as they preside over the ceremonies and the vows exchanged between the bride and groom. No longer will you have to apply for a wedding ceremony and restlessly wait for the results of the lottery. Using the wedding page for reference, just pick whatever date, time, and location you want and you're ready to go! It's that easy!

Wedding Masters will regularly show up around Vana'diel!
You can expect to start seeing the Wedding Masters as NPCs in the three nations pretty soon.

If you've used the wedding page as a reference to conduct your own wedding, you can equip the rings that you exchanged during the vows and speak together with one of the Wedding Master NPCs in the three nations. The NPC will present you with a "marriage certificate" as proof of your wedding in Vana'diel. Since this is a furnishing, you can use it to decorate your mog house as a memento of that oh-so-important day in your life.

*If you've gotten married through the regular wedding service, you can also receive a marriage certificate by speaking with the NPC together while your wedding rings are equipped.

A plethora of vibrant wedding items available!
All of the necessary wedding items that up until now only the NPCs had carried such as the Wedding Master's wedding bells, items for playing special music only heard at weddings, and rings and dresses, will soon be on sale for anyone who needs them.

Make your wedding ceremony even more glamorous with Player Event Support!
How would you like to design and produce your own wedding or maybe even a friend's?!
With over 200 objects available for placement, a huge selection of areas to choose from, and even the ability to change the dialogue used in the ceremony, by using Player Event Support, you can make an infinite variety of ceremonies come to life with your ideas!

Click here for the Player Event Support application.


Future schedule
The new wedding service is scheduled to start on November 18th (Wednesday). The regular wedding service will be concluding on November 17th. No wedding applications will be accepted after November 1st (Sunday) 10:59pm (PST).

Not at all what I was hoping to see when I woke up today but yay for the few people this will affect?

{Answer cloudy} {Try again}

This really looks like the kind of stuff that should have been coming out during the game's infancy.

[Clever Ninja]

I'm happy they are announcing such important and worthwhile updates on my birthday.

Translation: WTF kind of update is this?

"Hey, what's all this? What's going on"

"Zarlog, I have something special to tell you."

Hush, you know that's going to bring the SMNs out. Everyone that mattered already got one anyway, give SMN an avatar and 90% of them will shut up for a few months at least as they tear their hair out trying to catch up on missions to obtain it.

This seems like a natural progression of the Player Event Support feature, so I'm not going to feign surprise or outrage over it. Probably because the same guy that does this stuff isn't the same people responsible for job updates.

Nope, its the same guy that came up with the MMM updates.

[Evion]

I agree with CID, this definitely should have been done years ago. This is basic game mechanics that are obviously wanted by the player-base. I would say level-sync should have been done earlier as well, but I don't want everyone jumping on my back saying how bad of and idea it was...

[Kailea]

one question, with the new system can same sex get married? if not, its still fail ;p

And wait a minute, where the hell is the FFXI divorce service? What if you married that one beautiful Mithra that turned out to be a guy? What then? You're stuck with her(m). And you probably can't remarry. What the fuck man?

And what about gay marriage.

What was the process behind getting married in-game?

[Grizzlebeard]

Didn't you have to be with the person irl before you could get married in-game? I vaguely remember friends telling me they had to pass some Q&A before S-E would allow them to be married. Also, I had to to apply for the wedding on their behalf.

Back when I was a scrub Great Sword WAR and had a permanent female duo partner, I had considered the wedding service and read the rules. I remember no such thing. Reason we didn't do it was because it was a bitch to do. Had to apply like two weeks in advance, and getting the time slot you wanted was hard. You'd have to apply more than once until you get it.
