I'd need the rough outline for a wedding: Where it should be held, what should be said etc. etc. Edit: This wedding in particular has a requirement, though, for safety reasons it is held within the home of one of the families involved. Thanks in advance!

It might also invoke the blessings of Olladra (sovereign of feast and fortune) for the wedding celebration, and pray for the future blessings of Arawai (sovereign of fertility and love.) Given that the three main Sovereigns who caught my attention as being relevant are all depicted as female, it might be traditional (but not required) for the priest officiating the ceremony to also be female.

A contemporary Khorivore weeding tradition in which the bride and groom walk in minimal clothing in front of the guests to affirm that no interbreeding of Dragonmark bloodlines will take place (especially in arranged marriages or when one of the sides is a Dragonmarked house member). In a weeding where both the bride and groom have the same dragonmark. once the couple arrives to the alter they cross arms/ touch face / shoulders in a symbolic attempt to make the Dragonmark appear as one united larger mark.

That's a great verse and I'd borrow it for sure if it was not for the fact that my group plays in Swedish. While we cannot avoid to use English names for things (the rulebooks have not been translated into Swedish) we try to keep down the amount of English words in favour or our own translations.

I've got a marriage ceremony coming up in my game between one of the players and an NPC. Just the thing I was looking for. Cheers for the idea Gilo!
