I have been reading some forum posts about WOW weddings. I would love any additional information!!! Apparently the cathedral of light can be rented? How does one go about doing that? I heard rumours of rings in Booty Bay are these true? Please tell me anything you can, thanks a lot!

I don't know a lot about this, but there have been rumors indeed about weddings being enabled in the future. Right now, as far as I know, it's just a roleplay feature. You can have rings, a wedding suit, and then act out a wedding as if you would do really do it.
But as I said, I don't know much about it, so someone please correct me if I'm wrong. The reason I am actually replying is to ask you why on earth you would post your email-address here to get an answer to your question. It's a forum, people reply to posts, and this way you can also get an answer. Faster, easier and safer. There is absolutely no need to randomly hand out your email address on a public forum.

Find a tailor who can make a wedding dress and/or the formal wear for the male char.
Not sure about rings. If Snow is talking about regular rings, you could just get a few with crap stats off AH for a few silver. I've never seen or heard of rings solely for the purpose of in-game weddings.
Other than that, right now it's just a role-playing thing, as Snow said. You can't get the SW cathedral (or whatever Horde counterpart, if there is one) private, so you could arrange a ceremony of sorts with friends and the two getting "married," but there would likely be random players running through the cathedral for quests and such, and you'd need to find your own minister. I seem to remember that there are some level 5-10 priest robes from one of the initial quests that are pretty much white with a little red or purple or something. Might work well.
GL with it if you try it.

There is a vendor in Booty Bay who sells gold rings, no stats or anything, just wedding and engagement rings. Can't remember where he is, but he's there somewhere.

That's interesting, I never knew that. Do they go in a standard ring slot, or are they just backpack items?

Booty Bay does indeed have rings. You can get different rings for different amounts of gold. Whatever you do, don't let your "spouse to be" get you a cubic zirconia. (yes, there is a cubic zirconia ring in booty bay)

Not really, heard of some folks who got married both in and out-game. The in-game wedding being for those folks who wouldn't be able to or couldn't attend the RL wedding. Living abroad, bad timing etc etc.
Heck, some folks have met through the Net and fallen for each other, and I know a couple of the success stories myself, just as I know of the not so successful ones. Stuff happens. *shrugs*

Met another NE (guy) joined his guild, he was a great friend, met irl, feel in love, moving there in 3 months, getting married irl Sept :P Just thought the game wedding would be really special for the guild... without which we never would have met. Also, as stated above, many guildies can't attend because they live on the west coast or are too young, no money etc... thought this would be special.

I know a couple that met over a text-based RPG online. They're both great people, and have been dating now several years remotely, coming to visit, chatting online, whatnot. He's even thinking of moving down to live with her now.
My friends and I all agree that each of them is the only person appropriate for the other.
But it's proof that people that meet online can have a good relationship.

Sure, people keep saying that this happens... but NEVER to me!!! :cry:
It's not fair that everybody else can met their love though WoW, get married and live happily every after, and I get stuck with freaks, losers and guys wanting to be girls. :hang:

Cut a new person some slack?Hmm, somehow I got the feeling you misinterpreted my post there. I was not making fun of you, or calling you off in any way. As you said yourself, you are pretty new to this, so I just wanted to give you some friendly advice. I'm sorry if that made me come across to you as some arrogant know-it-all, but it has been proven to be dangerous to post your email address on a public forum (hence AeroJonesy seems to have edited it out). Cut someone who is just trying to help you some slack, maybe?
And to stay on subject: ohearntp, I played on a MUD (you can easily call it a text-based RPG) for several years and there I was "mud-married" as well. It's just a bit of good clean RP fun, and in some cases it's even a bit more, as we can see by this thread. Why would it go too far?

Hmm, you mind i make a new char just too witness this?
My wife and I both play and i'd like to surprise her with this (luckely she doesn't read forums :) )
+ Isn't paris time already CET ? --> Central European Time
I think you mean GMT + 1 = CET = Paris, Brussels, Berlin, ...
+ the AM/PM notation is expressed using 1:00 -> 12:00
01:00AM = 01:00 in 24h format
03:00PM = 15:00 in 24h format
15:00AM doesn't exist.
(I get a bit fuzzy when it comes to 12:00AM, is that = 0:00 or 12:00 in 24h format? And 12:00PM? And is there a 0:00AM or 0:00PM???, i'm from Europe)

Um.. I"m confused, I'd love to go I"ll create the character TO go even! but 15h00? That's 3pm in the afternoon, not 3am I think.... Plus Paris is GMT +1, making it 6 hrs ahead of me (GMT - 6) since I'm EST in Canada. Anyone good with time stuff, can you help sort this out? I"m thinking that if it's 15h00 in Paris, it should be 9:00am EST, my time. Assuming that 15h00 (ie 3pm) is correct.

I'm not positive, so don't get mad if I'm off here, but I THINK it's a 7 hour difference for you, so 8am your time.
GMT-6 to GMT+1 would be a difference of 7, not 6 I think. You've got 6 to 5, to 4, to 3, to 2, to 1, to GMT, to +1, so 7 steps total, or 7 hours (sorry, it's hard to write out my finger counting, I hope that's understandable).
So if it's 3pm at GMT+1, it should be 8am at GMT-6.
Edit: duh, I just realized a foolproof method. Go into your date and time properties on your computer, and tell it that you are in whatever time zone you're concerned with (here, gmt+1). Then look at whatever time the computer tells you it is and compare to real time for the difference! :thumbsup:

I was thinking of doing a WoW wedding myself, to match up with the wedding I will be having for myself in RL. I think a challenge would be finding people who would be able to sew up the tuxedo and full wedding dress, and finding a suitable location to have it at. Finding a priest shouldn't be too much of a problem. Both my fiance and I have WoW installed, our own separate accounts, and finally PC's beside each other so we could concievably do it.
kcma is still kindda single in case there are any single girls still reading this thread <3

Yah, it would be funny, but think of what it would do to your karma :)
And as for the funeral bull****, that was not funny. How would you like that to have been for you? or you have been one of the people there?
It's the same situation for a wedding when it comes to people attending it, but for gods sake, show the dead some respect. Out of everything that pisses me off, disrespecting the dead is in the top 5.
(or are you some immature kid who dosen't understand that? or selfish?)
Oh, and with that pathetic funeral raid, I hope everyone in that guild dies a very, very, very painfull death in real life, it is no less than they would have asked for, they have already signed up their names with the devil.

If you're in Canada, odds are that you have a US account, which means you can't attend anything on a EU server. Which solves the time problem, if not in a good way. : /

It was an in game funeral for a person who had died in real life.

Oh please, lets not start this debate again - that poor horse has been dead for so long he has decomposed already....
Oh and for the mods - you may have banned that guy a few posts up, but you kinda left his website up for all to see.....oh well I'll go and report it now
Slacker mods :heart:
i have just found the video on google video (comes up as the first result if you search for "wow funeral").
oh, ok. no dead horse beating from me. but i would just like to say that, i completely disapprove what they have done (not the funeral, i disapprove the crashing). and i simply cannot understand them justifying their acts.
they are a bunch of RP evil bandit who enjoys inflicting pain upon others because of their own unresolve feelings toward their fathers.

Couple nice things you can get for this wedding, as I have actually "officiated" one before as a lark:
Bouquet of Roses (off-hand)...showers roses around
those light beam things from the festival...having it come down on the bride/groom and/or the official is nice to see
offhand flowers to be held by the attendants
snowballs to chuck (in lieu of rice) after the conclusion for the walk away from the minister

Many things ....
1) The rings in BB are way overpriced, and really silly. Tailored wedding dresses are quite ugly, ask your guild tailor to link all the dresses and robes they can make for you to try on. I think the simple dress or lovely dress or something along those lines id prettier. Also depending on level and financial state maybe a mooncloth robe (especially nice if you are a caster)
2) You can't rent the cathedral, if anyone asks for money to use it they are pulling your leg. My friend did an RP wedding in game and they used the moonwell in Stormwind - it got crashed by about 30 drunk nakid gnomes but what can you expect? I would say find one of the prettier waterfall areas - perhaps the one in the hinterlands behind Qel Danil.
3) Find an officiator that you both like and trust. Don't just grab some random priest since lots of folks will think it funny to mess up the vows. Maybe your guild leader if you are doing this as a guild function. Get him to macro your vows so that they aren't taking a year to type out.
4) Happycow seems far too nice for the evil that is kcma
overpriced is subjective. i just bought a tabby cat from AH for 5g :p which vender sells it btw? just curious... i'm all about collecting random cool odd things nowaday.
use an instance... they're empty. maye goto Mara and kill princess.

:grin: Then you are both lucky, playing this game with someone special makes it so much more fun. It doesn't matter if that someone is a family member, friend or love monkey, just having a person you can share all the cool stuff with is the best.
What level is Happy cow at? You should take her on a tour and show her some of the cool high level places (prepare her for death :wink: first though) I remember the first time I saw Stranglethorn, I just kept saying "Coool! i\It's like Indiana Jones!!!"
And to the OP so this isn't a complete hijack - where did you first meet in game? That may be the place fpr your wedding (or a prettier place nearby if it wasn't one of Blizzard's visual gems)

she's lvl 15, and she's seen most of the horde zones by now. she's also seen:

the abyss of Ashera. you enter it by getting on the zep from ogr -> UC. and you jump off mid-air through the dimensional portal. try it sometimes ;)
but yes, i definitely have fun picking flower and drinking darkfairie special reserve. one day, i'll take her to Redridge to hunt Night Elves.

Most of them are probably guys but don't let that worry you. A blown kiss is generally just a way of saying hi or being silly and passing the time. I will blow kisses of do the flirt emote to just about anyone, male - female - NPC - kodo .... you get the point. Usually I pass the time waiting for zepplins by telling jokes and /flirt /silly /poke at the people standing around me. It doesn't mean that I want their virtual babies it is just a way to kill a few minutes and maybe meet some nice people to play with later.
There is one guy on my friends list now that started out just that way - he came to our server as a transfer so he was decked out while most of us that started there were still in blues and greens. I /cowered at him and he /flirted me and we got to talking about server conditions and his guild strats etc. It is purely game related and not in the slightest bit kinkified. At least that is what I tell my fiance. :wink: (kidding!!!!)
And yes, kcma I am a real life girl with all the real life girlly bits and everything ... now send me gold! :kiss:

Aha I see what you are saying, but reading around I've found out horde female characters are most likely to be female than alliance especially humans and night elf, and since im night elf and in their starting city, you can see why im slightly worried:P
I dont really feel comfortable with 14 year old boys blowing me kisses :P, just a simple hello or whatsup is enough for me if it was a guy trying to befriend me.
Thanx for the info, I'll be more open next time :D

In a way that is kind of a disturbing idea, but you also have to consider that a lot of people role play more with their characters than use them as actual representations of their RL selves. For instance, my original character was a Human Male, that resembled me as much as it could, but now my main is a Night Elf female.
I will type /flirt or /shy or whatever with a male character just for the fun of my character doing it and it happening in game. It in no way has anything to do with me flirting with the person playing on the other end of that character. Just try not to take it too seriously usually because it is just a game. One's character might not represent much of themselves at all. Just a character they are playing, like an actor playing a role.

I only read the first page, so forgive me if I'm repeating something...But has anyone heard about the crashed wake? Apparently someone in a guild died in real life. Members of her guild and people who knew her as a forum poster lined up at some lake tot ake turns paying their respects when...
Another guild, with about 20 people, HKed about 75 people. Massacre. I didn't have strong feelings one way or another--whether it was offensive or humorous. I just thought it was an interesting tangent.

Just s you guys know I have had 2 wow weddings with 2 different characters, people have done it in game, and i am married to someone in RL but not to any of the guys i am married to i game, and my real life hubby is cool with it, just like my mains husbands real life wife set up the in game iwedding. It can be fun, but there also should be limits set to and the rings, they are equipable. i have 1 hat he bought me, but i also gave him a quite useful necklace that was an epic BOE item and he loves it :) so yea, its awesome and you just have to be into those things.
