How many of us are or were married in-game?

[Noni DeeCups]

My real husband and I play together. I already married him once - and once was enough! :twisted:

[cattywumpus]

I married someone in game. I performed the ceremony for my guild-master and his significant other.

It was kind of fun to actually get to role play my religeous duties as the tribal priest (Vah Shir Shaman). I dressed up in my black chain armor (loda kai mail) and laid it on thick and heavy with the do yous. Had to buy the ring though, The groom was going to use a cheap*&^ copper band, so I coughed up enough for a wedding ring as a wedding present.

It was pretty sudden or I would have catered the affair, as it was all I could do was pass around some cheap booze and someone else brought some cake.

[Woodeckt]

I have two toons married to my wife's two toons

Woodeckt and Clairice Wolfden (Hobbit Druid and Hobbit Cleric)

Wodeckt and Feladin Wolfden (Half-Elf Ranger and High-Elf Paladin)

Have had a GM for both ceremonies and actully for Woodeck tand Clairice we had 2 show up was cool

[Laurefin]

married twice...

I've actually gotten married twice. My first husband left me for another server, and my second husband has stopped playing EQ.

My second wedding was probably the most fun I've had playing EQ, ever. The GMs were supposed to perform the ceremony but never showed up, so we ended up with a halfling druid presiding. Well between flirting with me, insulting my hubby and the guests, and the "traditional pant-less halfling ceremony", I think that all in attendance had a very good laugh.

[Idara]

My EQ relationships are the stuff Jerry Springer is made of.

My RL hubby started playing EQ about a year before I did. He got married in game to a girl who happens to live near us IRL. When I started playing I got to know his "wife" and we became pretty good friends. Well, his's "wife's" RL brother also played EQ, and he and I were close to the same level so we started playing together a lot. After months of flirting in game, he proposed and we married as well. Unfortunately, the friendships eventually soured over some RL issues and guild conflicts, so eventually we were all divorced. Now Idara has decided men are good for play-things, but marriage is of no interest to her. Iriane is married to her profession as a cleric of Innoruuk. And Mundania's more interested in her new sword and next battle than any man.

As for the issue of RL gender versus character gender, Idara has quite actively flirted with a male character that I was fully aware wass driven by another female IRL. lol, for that matter, Idara flirts with anything that attracts her attention. She's very flighty.

Not now, not ever.

Oh this is wonderfully terrifically appropriate

Rydiia's feet move faster.
Ooo, blue shiny sparkles!

as I'm planning my wedding right now, his name's Starlighten and he's wizardly and wonderful and strong and handsome and sweet

Rydiia's feet move faster.
Ooo, blue shiny sparkles!

and we've waited *soooo* long because it took me almost a _year_ to level up to 20 and he's level 62 now with simply heaps of aa points

Rydiia's feet move faster.
Ooo, blue shiny sparkles!

and it took us about this long to pick out a name. But we'll have to coordinate between his raid schedule and Minta's nap time

Rydiia's feet move faster.
Ooo, blue shiny sparkles!

and where because I think he's KoS in my first, second, *and* third choices! Oh dear. But I can't wait 'til we're finally wed

Rydiia's feet move faster.
Ooo, blue shiny sparkles!

because I want at least a dozen children although he's only agreed to six so far, silly high elf ideas on small families. . .

after four (yes, count em, four) in game engagements to marry, none of them has ever worked out

these days my char runs solo

i turn down other engagement offers cause its more fun to be able to flirt with anyone i like without worrying about jealous lovers

gender, ingame or outgame, doesnt matter, ill still flirt with you its the race that matters (who would flirt with a gnome? ewwww)

since my rl hubby plays beside me with his toon, a lot of folks think our toons are involved, which is untrue since they havent been involved in game since that fight we had in our 30s

[Lling]

Lling was married twice. My RL husband thought it was hilarious and fun. Trouble is you need to make sure that the person with whom you choose to role-play this is mature enough to handle it as a RP experience, not a RL one.

Never again will this warrior take that plunge.

So that's a no?

Do I get my ring back?

Bah - now if it was Lilosh, well, that's a different story.

[Chenier]

I was engaged once and not to my boyfriend, who also played. My then fiance, I believe, took things a little too seriously and long story short, we parted ways and have never spoken again.

My boyfriend and I played together a lot recently, but I'm pretty sure he thinks in game marriages are silly and I don't feel the need. We get to do the fun part - act like an old married couple in groups, etc., which is waay fun. ("Honey, can you make me a cup of tea?" "No woman! Get it yourself! I'm doing the laundry!" etc) =)

Everyone thinks we're married in RL, both in game and in RL. It's funny. Why do people assume that?

RL story: we went to the mall last weekend and I was purchasing some crystal (I have a thing for Mikasa). The sales woman was finishing up the purchase and said something "Here ya go, your husband can carry the bag."

To which I immediately replied "Yes husband! Carry the bag! Up Simba!"

/scowl from boyfriend

Outside the store, he told me "Did we get married and you didn't tell me again?"

lol...=)

[Clementine]

EQ Marriage

I've never been married in game, and seriously would doubt getting married to a player I didn't know in RL or have been long friends with in game. I've seen my boyfriends female druid get offers for marriage since the beginning, and I don't know whether to be insulted or not since Clementine certainly never gets asked! :evil: But, marriages/weddings are one of the fun parts of EQ and I've enjoyed seeing friends get married and be part of catering to their weddings

[Lilosh]

Bah - now if it was Lilosh, well, that's a different story.

So, when are you movelogging to Povar, Beloved?


<grin>

[KyrosKrane]

Welp, I've gone and done it. A while back, I proposed to my online flame, and despite the odd circumstances, she accepted. The wedding will be in a week's time on the Veeshan server; I'll post full details here when I have them.
