Among the members we had: Josudes, Carste, Annabelle, Sethidus, Anderoc, Angeloxi, Shaoulin, Blaine, Soulstar, Airou, Ruffyreborn, Evanai, Sirivalin, Drimergirl, Raiderx and Crystalle (hope I didn't forget anyone o.o;;)
Myself and Feli had decided to have a traditional San d'Orian wedding, because our characters were both from that nation. The event was amazing, and the entire time I remember being nervous that I might accidentally say my lines too fast, or might forget to do something because there were a few parts where we had to switch to first person view. But in the end, we made it through and at the very end all our friends who came to the wedding went crazy casting their spells, using their job abilities, throwing crackers and cheering us on. It felt great to have so many of our friends there to witness our marriage.
Though this is just a game, the truth is that I am truly blessed to be in the relationship that I am in. I am with someone who always has my best interest in mind, someone that is always giving me his love, his devotion and shares everything about his life with me. He makes me laugh, he makes me smile, and he just makes my life feel complete. Having had an in-game marriage was only a mirror of what I know will one day happen, and a symbol of our desire to share our lives with each other. Even without an event like this, I know in my heart I will continue to love the man of my dreams and be at his side through all that he experiences because I can't imagine my life any other way.
Well enough with the sappy part! After the ceremony we all gathered and went to Kokba Hostel in Aht Urghan White Gate where we celebrated. Unfortunately we had only been allowed to have 18 guests at the ceremony and in order to make sure that any linkshell members that wanted to be apart of it all, we invited everyone to an "after party" which I think was a great hit. We were able to use items, and change into costumes making us look like child versions of all the races. There were a lot of jokes passed around and everyone enjoyed themselves goofing off to their hearts content.
Me and Feli were actually very spoiled too, a few of the LS members went out of their way to gt us some gifts. Among my gifts I received a Noble's Bed, a Chasuble, 2 Hi Potion Tanks, 2 Hi Ether tanks, a Gateau aux Fraises, a tableware set, a freshwater tank, a federation signet staff, the mannequin body (just need the head and hands now!) and uuh... I think that's it... Oh wait, Angeloxi gave me 17 Shihei, lol.
Then me and Feli exchanged our gifts. He gave me an Angel Flute crafted by him, and signed. One day i'll become a bard just so that I can play my flute! And I had spent all of last week getting guild points to get the ability "Patisserie" so that I could cook him a "Buche au Chocolat" which is a San d'Orian chocolate cake. Sad thing is I hadn't read but the recipe also needed woodworking, so the first time I tried to cook this the synth broke! Luckily my second synth worked, and I had it signed too.
So I have to say that yesterday was probably the best night in my 'FFXI' playing. Not only did we get most of our LS members together, but I was able to have a little re-inactment of what will one day come in real life. It was fun, and I finally get to wear the REAL wedding dress!!!! Not that opaline trash that guys spend a fortune buying for their online gf's most likely played by guys anyways, who end up selling the stuff after the relationship breaks off anyways! hahahaahahahaahahahaha! <_<.....>_>
