We
are pleased to announce the following changes to weddings
as of the 22nd day of Koaratos in the year 5104 (7/22/04):
- Wedding rules have been rewritten
and relaxed to fit within current guidelines! For
example, you may now get thighbands, have pentagrams
on your items, and use rare metals/magic woods (as
long as you provide them).
- Pocketed item rules have changed! Any items that either are normally pocketed or can be pocketed (cloaks, satchels, pouches, trousers, bodices, etc.) will be pocketed automatically! Items that do not normally have pockets (jewelry items, items that cannot logically have pockets, etc.) will not be pocketed.
- Jewelry item rule is gone! Before
you could only have 2 jewelry items, now you can use
all your alter slots for jewelry if you want!
- Wedding rings have been updated!
The bonding works world-wide now, instead of realm-wide.
Also, 20 new verb traps have been added!
- Wedding couples may now hyphenate
or take their spouse's last name! (There will be no
charge.)
- Wedding couples now get a one
line feature alteration each!

THE
CATHEDRAL WEDDING PLAN
The
“Cathedral Wedding” (also called the Plan C Wedding)
is for those who want the very best! Pick from one of five
special wedding theme areas for your ceremony! The areas include:
the Temple of Liabo, the Temple of Lornon, the Beach, the
Ice Caverns, and the Forest Glade. Each area has four rooms,
including a reception area with food, drink and music for
all of your guests.
The bride and groom will be given invitations for those
they with to invite to their special ceremony and reception.
On the day of the wedding, magic portals will appear in all
towns (Wehnimer's Landing, Icemule, Teras Isle, River's Rest,
Solhaven, Zul Lugoth, Ta'Illistim and Ta'Vaalor) to transport
those guests with invitations to the wedding. When the guests
are ready to return, they will be magically transported back
to their starting point! No worrying about catching boats
or dangerous treks through the mountains!
As an added bonus to this wedding package, the happy couple
will gain the ability to use more intimate command messaging
in many common roleplaying verbs, such as HUG and
LEAN. Over 20 commands have the special messaging
that only couples who purchase a Cathedral Wedding will have
access to! We will also create 18 items for the wedding couple
and wedding party that you can customize however you want!
In addition to the 18 items, wedding couples also receive
a set of very special, scripted wedding rings and customized
ring boxes.
What wedding would be complete without a honeymoon? The
Cathedral Wedding package also includes a 5-day stay in your
own private cottage, located in our exclusive honeymoon village!
Last, but not least, a specially trained member of our wedding
team will work with you to create the wedding of your dreams!
You can create custom mood messaging, custom food and cake,
and more! Your wedding coordinator will go over all the details
and be with you during your entire wedding to make your wedding
special in a way that only we can!
Cathedral Wedding signups use our Event Signup System, allowing
you to charge the “real world” cost to your current
billing method. There is also an in-game fee of one million
silvers, which is due on your wedding day. Only one member
of the engaged couple should sign up for a ticket, but you
can split the cost between members by using a Gift of Adventure!
WHAT TO
EXPECT
Once you have purchased your wedding ticket, you need to
send your list of 22 items (18 miscellaneous items, 2 wedding
rings and 2 ring boxes) to gs4weddings@simutronics.com
as soon as possible! This starts the process rolling! You
will soon receive a letter in your e-mail box from the Weddings
Manager, which will also explain how everything withs and
what you should expect. Your list will go to a Wedding Negotiator
who will soon contact you if there are any revisions needed
to your requested alterations. In order to avoid having to
make a lot of revisions, we highly recommend reading over
the information in game using the verb ALTER.
Once your item list has been approved, your wedding will
be "released" and you will then get the opportunity
to choose a date! When you have chosen a date, you will
be contacted by your Wedding Coordinator who will work
with you on all things related to your ceremony!
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q. Do I need to be titled to have a wedding?
A. No! This was previously true, but this rule has
since been retired! Couples of ANY level can purchase and
have a Cathedral Wedding!
Q. Are there any restrictions on items I can have
made for my ceremony?
A. We are pretty flexible with items, but they should be wedding
specific and fall within the normal alteration guidelines.
There are a few wedding specific restrictions:
- No weapons or armor will be made.
- No out of genre items will be made, such as tuxedos, top
hats, spiked heels or lingerie.
- Do not request items made from rare metals or woods unless
you can supply enough to make the item.
Old rules that no longer apply:
- No thigh bands. Revision: Thigh bands are fine,
but remember that these are worn outside of clothes! We
do not currently make garters.

with pentagrams on them are fine.
- You may only have 2 jewelry or ceremonial items. Revision:
Within your item limit, you may have as many jewelry or
ceremonial items as you wish.
- You may only have 2 pocketed items. Revision:
All items that are normally pocketed (cloaks, satchels,
pouches, etc) will be pocketed. You will be allowed two
more pocketed items in addition to that to use on items
that do not normally have pockets (boots, bodices, pants,
etc).
Q. What if one of my desired items is not within
the guidelines?
A. Your Wedding Negotiator will discuss this with you and
give you suggestions on how to fit your items better within
the guidelines.
Q. Can I have personalized wedding rings?
A. Of course!
Q. Can I have SHOW descriptions?
A. Of course! Please see the ALTER verb in game to learn everything
there is to know about alteration rules, show descriptions,
long descriptions and more!
Q. Can you alter some of my existing items for the
ceremony?
A. Not at this time. Currently, only new clothing and items
will be made.
Q. What about ring boxes? Are they part of the item
limit?
A. You get 2 ring boxes in addition to your 18 items and 2
rings, which makes your item total 22 items.
Q. Can I have pocketed items?
A. All items that are normally pocketed (cloaks, satchels,
pouches, etc) will be pocketed. You will be allowed two more
pocketed items in addition to that to use on items that do
not normally have pockets (boots, bodices, pants, etc).
Q. How about the invitations? How do they work?
A. The bride and groom will receive their invitations immediately
upon choosing a date. Remember, you do not get to choose a
date until your item negotations are complete! Each couple
will receive a container with 50 invitations. If you need
more, just contact your wedding coordinator!
There are a few important facts to be remembered about invitations:
1) Once an invitation is given to a player, that player cannot
drop it or give it away. If they try to, the invitation will
“poof” and you will need to give them another
one!
2) During the wedding, the bride and groom can POINT their
invitation at any guest who is acting out of control. That
guest will be removed from the wedding, unable to return.
3) The bride and groom must keep one invitation for themselves!
Everyone who goes to the wedding must have an invitation in
order to gain access to the wedding portal. This includes
the bride, groom and the entire wedding party, including the
cleric, bard, best man and maid of honor!
4) You must remain in the wedding area the entire time.
If you leave the wedding area, you will need another invitation
to return. Once the wedding has begun, no more invitations
will be able to be given out.
5) There will be wedding portals to the wedding in every
town that transport guests to the ceremony location. These
portals will close 10 minutes after the wedding starts.
Q. Can you help me find a cleric for my wedding?
A. No, finding a cleric is your responsibility!
Q. If I have a reservation for a Cathedral wedding,
can I have the ceremony anywhere I want?
A. No, the invitations only work with the five areas
provided for Cathedral Weddings.
Q. How big are the wedding areas?
A. Each wedding area has four rooms, including a reception
room with food, dance and music! Each area also has its own
picture, which can be displayed on the Wizard FE!
Here is a brief description of each area:
The Beach
Rolling waves and warm sun. This is a lovely place surrounded
by wildflowers that sits high above the beach itself. The
view is quite breathtaking.
The Ice Caverns
These are all underground caves with sparkling spires of
ice and the sound of slowly melting and re-freezing water
in the background.
The Forest Glade
Here you will find a nice balance of deep woods with the
occasional open meadow filled with wildflowers.
The Temple of Liabo
A beautiful temple dedicated to the gods of Liabo, with
special areas for meditation and relaxation.
The Temple of Lornon
A temple for those who prefer a darker side.
Q. For a Cathedral Wedding, will I have a place to change
clothes?
A. Yes! An hour before the wedding, your Wedding Coordinator
will take the bride, groom and any members of the wedding
party to special dressing rooms where their items will be
waiting. You can also store anything in these rooms and pick
them up after your ceremony is over! Make sure to dress light
and bring extra containers for presents!
Q. Can my last name be changed to be the same as
my spouse's?
A. Yes!
Q. I've purchased a wedding in the past, but now
want to renew my vows or get married to someone new. Is that
rule of one wedding per account still in effect?
A. NO! If you have purchased a wedding in the past, you CAN
purchase another one now!
