After my last post about love and Valentine's Day, I started thinking about weddings and marriage (and if you assume this is because I'm female, know that you are a terrible, terrible person), it's a subject that has found it's way into many games.
For instance, Skyrim, in which you can marry various NPCs whether you like women who demand you bring them a wealth of bear pelts or men that follow you around for money and *ahem* companionship you have the option to partake in marital life if you so choose.
Marriage also plays on my mind lately because I am getting married next year. I don't want a typical wedding because that's not a reflection of myself or my fiancé. I think this is because we've grown up with very different ideologies to our parents and have been exposed to a multitude of games, tv, film and pop culture.
That and we're no longer governed by tradition or expectation.
