Love and Marriage

Though while roleplaying your characters don't usually find time to marry, maybe not even have time to fall in love, it is an integral part of the world they are a part of.  There is always a chance they will come to a village in the midst of a wedding celebration or need to sneak into a noble's wedding ceremony to glean some information or take some item.

There are some basic needs to know on any marriage in any race upon Martapa.
1)All races will want their marriage sanctioned by the God of their choice.  For dwarves that will be Taniger, though other, lesser Gods may also be mentioned.  Most humans want a priest of Catiana present, but many will have Wesa and other nature Gods' priest there as well.

2)Feasts will ensue.  Something about marriages making people hungry.

3) And presents of some sort will be given.  In the ancient elven culture the bride and groom give away presents instead of receiving.

In the next couple days I'll give a brief overview of what might be done so you can use such things in your campaign to lighten up or complicate your campaigns.
