Hello!

The Cove Wedding DLC is coming right along, but before it gets further along I wanted to gauge our players on the kinds of traditions they'd like to see as options in the ceremony/reception. In the DLC you'll be able to pick if you, for example, want to walk down the aisle or not, do the cake smashing thing or not, have parent/child dances (with your own parents and/or your spouse's parents), and such. 

If there's something you'd want to see, go ahead and leave it in the comments. If someone else has already posted it before, you can still mention it to add to its support. This won't be a complete popularity contest poll, but it is good to know things people would be excited to have. And while we won't be able to include everything players can think of, we will do what we can to have decent variety/flexibility!

Thank you for all of the comments everyone :D. We've gone ahead and began scripting the traditions section of the Wedding DLC.

idk like a blanket ceremony?? it's pan-Native American tradition (its not in all tribes, obviously; but it is in A Lot) it's where you get a blanket (usually a Pendleton or some other "Navajo"-styled/Dine wool blanket) draped over your and your spouse's shoulders. its meant to demonstrate a home and it being unbreakable, because you cant split a blanket in half (aka warding off a potential divorce, i guess?). its also meant to illustrate warmth and stability and mutual protection. you can find out mkre about its symbolism online, usually. anyway, you're supposed to keep it after in your home, usually on your bed (like folded up at the foot, if you dont use it to sleep with), but thats not mandatory. there is a slight worry with people who are allergic to wool, like my sister-in-law, but she knew how important this tradition was to my brother's heritage and our side of the family, so she wanted to do it in spite of my brother's worries about her health, so my brother held the blanket over her shoulders in a way to make sure none of it touched her skin (which i argue highlights the intended protective message of the blanket further); which i mention in case wool would impact Cove's skin sensitivity. it's featured for a very short portion of the ceremony, which helped. and thats in addition to stuff with being smudged with sage and maybe eating frybread (ive seen a couple of indigenous weddings jokingky tear the frybread in half to illustrate Sharing Food between the spouse, since frybread is often featured at a lot of ceremonies/get-togethers anyway. but frybread, because of its history as a survival food, while also pan-Native American, is controversial. so id get it if that wasnt included) and all that (more than what ive mentioned is usually tribal-specific) there is a kinda similar thing that happens at some Jewish weddings, where it's a scarf instead of a blanket (but the breaking of glass is obviously more famous for Jewish weddings). i dont knkw the history of that, but i immediately perked up with recognition when i saw the scarf get put around both parties' shoulders at a wedding for people i didnt know (i was brought along as a plus one for a date), so i was too shy to ask lmao just a couple of ideas, under the assumption youre making moves to be inclusive about various types of cultural wedding traditions. but thats a LOT to ask and kind of impossible to be fully inclusive of since theres So Many Cultures, i know. but i thought this might be something easier to code? idk. whatever you guys think is best ♡

In my Puerto Rican family has a tradition where people pin money on the outfits of those who are getting wed to have a dance with them, a way of congratulating them and being be to see them off to their spouse
