This is where the real work comes in. Some online weddings are as elaborate as the real thing; others are nice and simple. If you're going for the big bash, a lot of work can go into everything from matching bridesmaid dresses to personalized wedding rings to decorations.

First and foremost are the outfits for the betrothed. Arriving at your own wedding in the same armor in which you fought a rancor monster is not the height of fashion. Instead, find a reputable Tailor who can customize the colors for you, or can provide matching outfits for the bride and groom. By asking around, you should be able to find a Tailor who will work with the couple to create customized colors and find the best pattern to wear. Matching outfits for the Bridesmaids and the Groomsmen also helps give a finished look to the ceremony. If you have too many outfits to make, you should consider hiring a couple of Tailors for the job.

You'll also need to get rings made; tailors with Formal Wear III can create signet and band style. If you have them crafted, you can include an attached inscription. Using rings allows for a radial option that says "Propose Unity". By both players accepting, it will mark off the "married" box on your character sheet.

For decorations, there is much you can do if you are holding the ceremony in a PA hall or private residence. Chairs, plants, torches, decorative armor, the band and more can all be arranged specifically for your wedding. Droids, vendors, items or pets can be named with descriptive names such as "Reception Next Door", and they can be dropped in entryways and halls to provide directions.

If you want to have some good screenshots of your event, it's good to ask one attendee to be the photographer. You'll be too busy reciting vows and answering tells to want to line up a good shot. By having a dedicated photographer, you will get a number of good shots to post on your websites, or to submit for the player screenshot of the day. Just remember to tell your digital shutterbug to use the various options such as SHIFT + CTRL + H to turn off the HUD and to turn off some shots with chat bubbles or names. Also ask them to turn up their detail settings to get better resolution shots!

You'll also need someone to officiate the wedding. Anakin and Padme were married in a private ceremony with a holy man of Naboo officiating. For most people, though, this is often a PA leader, a mentor or simply a trusted friend. It helps to have the vows written out ahead of time, and have them committed to macros to limit the need to type quickly and accurately during the height of the ceremony.
