Service Plans

Weddings in Vana'diel?

At Vana'diel wedding ceremonies, two characters exchange vows of undying love.

Marriage in Vana'diel is regarded only as a personal commitment between the couple and does not grant any special rules or legal conditions.

Wedding services include:

A wedding ceremony with an exchange of rings
Wedding rings for the bride and groom
- Wedding rings: These special rings commemorate the marriage of the bride and groom. They cannot be sold or traded, and they do not imply any special rules or legal conditions.
Celebratory crackers for wedding guests
- Crackers/Fireworks: These crackers are specifically made for wedding celebrations. They are used by the guests as the ceremony concludes and the newlyweds exit.

Ceremony Time

Wedding ceremonies can be held from Wednesday to Sunday (there are no ceremonies on Mondays and Tuesdays). You may request a ceremony starting at 2:00 PM, 5:00 PM, 7:00 PM (PST). The bride, groom, and chaperone must arrive one hour before the ceremony to confirm arrangements, so please request a date and time slot when the above parties have ample playing time. Ceremonies will only be conducted at the times shown above.

Windurstan Style

Windurstian weddings are based on a traditional Tarutaru ceremony created by the first Star Sibyl. A Sibyl Celebrant presides over the ceremony in the Star Sibyl's place. This is an excellent choice for those who want a cheerful ceremony. The bride and groom must each prepare an offering of food beforehand.

San d'Orian Style

In a traditional San d'Orian wedding, the bridge and groom swear lifelong loyalty to each other before the goddess Altana. A Temple Knight presides over this solemn ceremony. The bride and groom must bring their weapons to the ceremony for their vows.

Bastokan Style

Registrars from the Department of Industry preside over these informal and relaxed ceremonies. The bridge, groom, and guests join in a toast with drinks provided by the president.
