Template:Marriage ceremony

Template documentation[View] [Edit] [History] - [Sandbox] [Refresh]

This template holds the dialogue for the marriage ceremony. This template has two sub-templates {{Marriage ceremony/pre}} which holds the dialogue for everything before the ceremony, and {{Marriage ceremony/post}} which holds all of the dialogue for everything after the ceremony. The post template is designed so whomever the player is marrying, their post-dialogue is hidden since they are not a guest of the wedding.

Syntax

{{Marriage ceremony/pre|NPC-NAME (optional) }}

{{Marriage ceremony|NPC-NAME|npcTitle=TITLE
|speech = Pre-vow speech
|vows   = Unique Vows
}}

===Post-Ceremony===
If the player talks to the various NPCs after the main ceremony, they will have different responses congratulating the player on their marriage.
{{Marriage ceremony/post}}

Pre-Ceremony:

:	This is the happiest day of my life!
Player:		I can't wait to start our lives together. (This starts the ceremony.)
Player:		I want to meet with our guests a bit longer.

Ceremony:

:	Quiet, please! Thank you. Now, let us begin. We gather here in order to celebrate the sacred bond between two radiant beings - [Player] and Claude, our esteemed composer. Today they join together as one and enter into this most intimate commitment. In marriage, they will find comfort and safety as they journey through a life made more beautiful by their love. To our soon-to-be-wed, I say this: make not a bond of love, but let your love carry you as the sea carries a ship, and let your happiness show as clear and visible as a white sail filled with wind. Claude, would you like to say a few words before the exchanging of vows?
:	I don't want to waste time on words. I'd rather jump right to the part where we spend our lives together. Even now I still can't believe I'm going to spend my days in the endless sea of my love's inspiring presence. I've spent years searching for something that could rekindle the spark of my soul. I realize now it was someone that I should have been searching for the entire time.
:	Well spoken! So do you, Claude, take [Player] to be your wedded partner?
:	[Player], for so long I've been uncertain of things. Where my life was going, what I was doing... But there's something I will never be uncertain of for as long as I live. ...I do!
:	And now, [Player], I ask: Do you take Claude to be your wedded partner?
Player:		I do.
:			Claude, [Player], before these witnesses you have pledged to be joined in marriage. With the power granted to me by the officiating office of the Great City, I hereby declare you joined in matrimony. You may now seal this ceremony with a kiss!
Player:		I do not. (This will end the ceremony.)
:			Oh dear! This is ... very, very unfortunate.And awkward! Emmett, quickly... take everything down, get the guests out of here... ((Emmett, quickly! Pour the memory loss potion in the punch bowl... Make sure everyone has a drink before they leave... No one will have to remember a thing...)) ...Oh, um, excuse me, everyone! Let's all have some refreshments before we leave...!

Post-Ceremony:

:"It seems like just yesterday I was barging through your door for the first time... Now look at you!"

:"This is such a beautiful wedding, I told myself I wouldn't cry, but..."

:"Congratulations on the marriage. I couldn't imagine standing up in front of everyone and getting married like that."

:"So this is how they celebrate marriage in the Human town... Consider me unimpressed."

:"Hey, good job on getting married. Hope you have lots of happy years together, and all that. So is there going to be any food, or..."

:"This is so different from an Elven wedding... Oh - still nice though!"

:"Oh, [Player]. I'm so happy for you! If you ever need any advice, you know where to go."

:"Fantastic ceremony! The love in the air is practically palpable."

:"Congratulations, congratulations! You make such a cute cute couple, nya!"

:"Emma and Elizabeth weren't too bothersome during the ceremony, were they? They were both so excited, they wouldn't stop fidgeting... Oh, and congratulations!"

:"Watching two of Sun Haven's citizens joined in matrimony is truly heartwarming. Congratulations, [Player]."

:"May your marriage be as beautiful and eternal as the moon!"

:"This is the biggest wedding I've ever been seen. It seems like half the town is here!"

:"W-what? Cry? I can't help it... I always cry at weddings...!"

:"Don't worry, I was on alert through the whole ceremony."

:"This is the start of a union between you and yours, [Player]. May it be a blessed and happy one."

:"Human ceremonies are so much more practical than Elven ones. It's funny how our cultures differ, even in celebration."

:"That's it? No one is even going to start a fight? Boooring."

:"Is that the end of the ceremony? Hm."

:"What a wonderful ceremony! It's good to have nice things like this to focus on. It's not just a special day for you, you know. The whole town is celebrating."
