Description
Certain guild officials and magistrates are granted the power to perform weddings. The marry command is used to do this. Once used, a wedding arbour will be created and the ceremony may commence.
Both parties must accept the marriage before it can be completed, and the wedding can only take place at the wedding arbour.
If rings are specified, each participant places a ring on their spouse's finger during the ceremony. This allows weddings using custom or crafted rings.
When using rings, it is important that each participant places the correct ring on their spouse's finger during the ceremony. The rings that are used during the ceremony become wedding rings specific to each participant and their spouse.
If the wrong rings are used during the ceremony, this can not be rectified at a later date. The exchange of rings must take place before completion of the marriage. Rings which are already wedding rings can not be used.
The marry and divorce commands will also cause the spouse lists of the prospective particpants to be cleaned up by the removal of the names of any no longer existing players.
Examples
