Welcome!

Hello everyone! Yes, it's finally happening; we're getting married! We (Majikjello and Rhianna) would like to invite all our friends and family here on Final Fantasy XI to come and join us on this special occassion.

We strongly encourage our guests to read through all of the following information to ensure they arrive safely and on time. ^.^

More info will be added as needed. ^.^

~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~*~~~*~

• Bibiki Bay- Purgonorgo Isle (West beach)
• Saturday, August 20th, 8pm EST

**The ship to the island leaves every 30 minutes from Bibiki Bay. Please be at the docks in Bibiki Bay by 7:20pm EST to ensure you make the boat in time.**

~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~*~~~*~

Bibiki Bay, the Manaclipper, and Purgonorgo Isle do have a few aggroing mobs, so we strongly recommend guests come as lvl 50+ jobs and avoid fishing or tackling any NMs they happen to run across.

Please watch out for the following critters!

**Please refrain from slaughtering mobs once the ceremony begins. Someone will be on duty to discretely remove troublesome mobs from the area and dispose of them before they become a problem.**

The wedding is being held on the beautiful Purgonorgo Isle in Bibiki Bay. You will need the Chains of Promathia expansion to enter.

If you haven't already done so, we highly recommend visiting Ludwig in Mhaura @ (H-9) to purchase a map for 3000g.	Click on images above for larger view.
In Buburimu Penninsula, head south to the beautiful pink and purple sands of Khoonta Dunes. Though the aqua waters seem inviting, I wouldn't suggest stopping to swim here! This beach is frequented by rather large sharks! From there follow the waterline west to a hidden cave and the beach beyond. Continue along the waterline to a second hidden cave which leads to the zone to Bibiki Bay (F-10).	Click on image above for larger view.
Not far upon entering, you will find Sunset Docks on your left at (H-7).	Click on images above for larger view.
**Please be sure to purchase a ticket for the Manaclipper from Tswe Panipahr for 80g ~or~ a multipass (10 tickets) for 500g before boarding the Manaclipper.**	Click on image above for larger view.
Fheli Lapatzuo, on the docks, kindly provides the ETA for the next ship, as well as the next trip's destination.	Click on image above for larger view.
The Manaclipper has 3 round-trip routes in the following order: Nonstop around Dhalmel Rock (approx 9 minute) Stop off at Purgonorgo Isle (approx 8 minutes there and 8 minutes back [about 17 minutes round trip]) Nonstop around Maliyalaleya Reef (approx 9 minutes) Stop off at Purgonogo Isle (repeat 1-4)	The ship docks only for about 1 minute and goes to Purgonorgo Isle about every 30 minutes, which is why we strongly suggest guests arrive early.
~~~~~~~~~~~~}{{~~~~~~~~~~~~ Take the ship to Purgonorgo Isle, and relax and enjoy the lovely views and fresh sea air. It is possible to fish up some rather nasty critters here, so we suggest avoiding fishing unless you and a few other lvl 70+ friends are around. ~~~~~~~~~~~~}{{~~~~~~~~~~~~
Once you've arrived at Purgonorgo Isle, head south and slightly west into a small stone archway.	Click on images above for larger view.
Once you enter the tunnel, the path is simple... just KEEP RIGHT as you wind through the pathways and around rocks and bushes, always heading west and south. *The black mandies here DO NOT aggro!*	Click on image above for larger view.
Eventually you will come to the final little "doorway" at (G-9) before it opens up to the beach.	Click on images above for larger view.
Please stop here and check in with the Stewards before proceeding, even if you have a linkpearl already! ^.^ [Back to Top] ~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~*~~~*~

We Need your Participation!

Just before getting to the beach there is a natural doorway where Stewards will be posted.

Even if you already have a LinkPearl, please make sure to talk to one of the following people before proceeding to the beach!

• Kais

• Hin

• Shikaidaio

You will be given:

• Link Pearl to "KeeperOfMyHeart" for the wedding. (Aside from /emotes, the entire ceremony will be held in LS chat. If you DO NOT get a pearl, please contact one of the aforementioned people.)

• Cake. Please hold on to this until the end of the ceremony. You will be instructed when to eat it if you so choose. ^^

• Fireworks. Please hold on to these until the end of the ceremony.

After receiving your linkpearl, cake, and fireworks, please make your way down towards the beach.

~*~~~*~~~~~~~~~*~~~*~

The location we have chosen slopes gently down into the water, allowing our guests to have a beautiful view of the ceremony. Please feel free to make yourselves comfortable wherever and however you choose, sitting or standing. We do ask that our guests stay to the dry sand (don't want to risk our guests drowning or ruining their nice clothing), as well as clear of the aisle. The Stewards are overseeing the seating, so if a guest is inappropriately seated, they will be politely asked to move.

For those whom have never been to a wedding before there are some basic manners (mostly common sense) that are expected from the guests at the ceremony, both to show respect to the couple being wed, as well as to help the ceremony flow a little easier.

• Clothing:

  1. Is NOT optional.

  2. Please dress nicely.

     1. No naked subligar parties.. that was reserved for the bachelorette party the night before.

     2. No opaline.. except for corsage. (Yes, Vahn, this means you! ^.~)

  3. Please do not wear hats, helms, OpoOpo Crowns or other largely visible heargear. Hairpins, ribbons, and tiara-type head gear are permitted. Ladies can also wear their corsages. (Yes, unfair, I know! =P)

  4. Please unequip weapons and shields for the ceremony.

• Manners & behavior:

  1. Once the ceremony starts, please feel free to talk in /tells quietly amongst yourselves, however please leave the Linkshell and /say channels open so all may enjoy the ceremony.

  2. Please remain in your "seat" (even if you're standing) till the ceremony is over.

  3. Please refrain from using the fireworks till after the ceremony and the cake until directed.

  4. Once the ceremony starts, please refrain from fighting or killing monsters (or friends or foes) unless in self-defense. Bouncers will be on duty to remove troublesome critters during the ceremony if necessary.

  5. Pets are welcome, just please ensure they aren't blocking anyone's view. ^.^

  6. And, it should go without saying, please refrain from disruptive behavior during the ceremony.

Sorry for all that info, but that SHOULD answer just about any question that anyone has about the ceremony, even those wise-asses who will be attending. ^.~

If you have any comments, questions, or concerns, please feel free to /t Rhianna or Majikjello before the ceremony, or one of the stewards during.

Thank you for attending, we hope to see you there! ^.^
