So, who among us is currently planning a wedding in game? After a lot of work, I finally managed to get to the proposal state, and now I find myself waiting for the "plan a wedding" card. Has anyone else gotten this far? If so, have you drawn the card, and how often does it appear?

Apologies - there will be a slight delay in launching the next phase of the wedding content. We're now planning for it to go live on Wednesday of next week. I'm very, very sorry for the delay.
Because this content is complex, because it's so important to the people doing it, and because some of those people (I lift my hat in awe and terror to ZackOak and partner!) have already accumulated the amount of Organising needed for the top-tier wedding, we want to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible for the early adopters.
However, I can promise the following:
It will not rai-ee-ain on your wedding day.
Your guests will not be eaten by the Vake.
Jack of Smiles is not hiding in the cake.
Again, sincere apologies. I hope you'll bear with us for a few days.

A couple of small clarifications:
1) Weddings are permanent content - they're not limited to the period of the Feast. The Matters of the Heart card is here to stay.
2) A couple of people asked about rewards. I should give fair warning that weddings will not be financially profitable*. They are the domain of Venus, not of Pluto.
*Above all, we strive for realism.

So make your proposals before the end of the Feast, but prepare for a long engagement.
I must say, as someone who is planning an actual wedding, the massive toll on both madness and finances seems to be a shockingly accurate simulator.
There should be a rival opposition like the the Expeditions though: Relatives who have decided this is their wedding.
As my Aunt Overstreet once said "What do you mean there's no champagne fountain? You CAN'T have a wedding without a champagne fountain!

Well folks, after a week of solid grinding and cashing in, my wonderful partner and I have hit the 10,000 mark. Starting tomorrow, we'll begin the wedding festivities when the option unlocks. We'll be sure to echo everything!

Pity that you can't issue wedding invitations to player characters (attendees would gain a little Making Waves, you would gain more!).

We plan to add new social actions for player spouses - we want to make different activities available once you're married.
Weddings are such a big, complex set of content, though, we want to phase things in. If you've got ideas for things you'd like to do with your spouse, by all means suggest them!

Hey Zack, I'ma humble man with only 501 organizing. Should I stock up on something to make the experience better ?
Also, because of the time difference, my fiancée is 12 hours away from me. Would it be better for us to wait for the weekend to dedicate an extended period of time, or should make a run for it ?
Uhhh, well, real talk time, I had only like, 3/10, maybe 2/5 of a hand in getting our organising to what it was. 2/5 is generous. My partner carried that stable because they had a substantial hoard of items that were worth a lot. Tears of the Bazaar, and lots of nights on the town. They had the items, and lots of them, which netted us the quick rise in organising.
I got where I did by turning my echoes into stolen correspondence into personal recommendations, and drained my connected: the church down from 340 to 10 in the process. I spent something approaching 2000 echoes, maybe more. I don't recommend my way of doing things. Like, at all. Mostly because having those levels of connected and that much raw echo is not something that's common. Nights on the town are the way to go if you don't have exceptionally high notability. I recommend being an author, because your payoff will be 150 organising a week.
As for time differences, wait for a day that works for you both. You experience the content independent of each other, but it's something worth sharing if you can.
I feel a bit late to the party in replying to this (I keep forgetting that I have an account here!)
Hello! Zack's partner here. They already mentioned Tears of the Bazaar (2 of them, when it's like +313 points of organizing) and Nights on the Town (Of which I had 50, so at +63 points per night, it meant lots of organizing and also 50 new pet weasels at the end considering you're gifted a weasel a night when you cash it in...), which put in a nice hefty dent for wedding organizing. As for everything else, I had tons of blackmail material (+13 points per blackmail material) and romantic notions (+5) which put some points into organizing, as well as lots of rats and a few odds and ends (silk scraps and things, which are like +10 points a pop).
I also had a ton of sworn statements that I hoarded--I think they all built up over time from profession payments, and I might've sold a ton of whispered secrets to buy some more items to grind, but it's all kind of a blur at this point hahaha.
With all of that, the points really added up.
Best of luck to your wedding planning!

My Character and Shylan are in full preparation.
I am a little bit puzzled about whether "matters of heart" and the preparation of a wedding are only available during the feast or not.
Some ideas:
- remember that cashing items for preparations cost 1 action. So, virtually, you would like to cash the most expensive item possible.
On the other side, remember that the 312.5 items are, often, more expensive than their echo value.
- Check with your partner which kind of wedding you would like, so not to spend preparations in excess.
- Most items give a preparation value equal to their echo cost, per excess. So a blackmail material (12.5 echo) gives 13 points.
Rats give a double value!!! 10 points for 500 rats (5 echo).
Who knows the best way to catch rats?
- It seems like that also the action which cost connection: church give more "preparation" than their echo value. But i'm not so sure.
Did anyone tried to prepare their wedding with unlawful means?

Oh, wow, the vicars:

Fortunately, the Loquacious vicar only smells of tea, and is charmed when he sees your fingers twining together on the arm of the chair"
Whilst you'll be hard pushed to find anyone as obsessed with optimising the numbers as I am, it would be rude not to try all the options at least once, just for little gems like this.

Oh I think it wouldn't dare. Our wedding guests are a bit excitable and quick to reach for a gun or a knife, especially if someone mentions the word "hunt". The bride might also want a new leathery cloak to match that Starveling Stole.

I also noticed that you can, after you're married, admit your affection for another player. More to the point, you can admit your affection for anyone other than your spouse. Being polyamorous IRL means this isn't weird to me but it might be jarring for someone who a) doesn't want to cheat on their spose and b) whose relationship agreement includes "monogamous".
That said, I totally support poly in FL

Erm... I sort of have a suite at the Royal Beth. If it weren't for the relative privacy afforded me by my secluded address I'd be there full time. Though, my newly espoused and I have not yet discussed living arrangements.

~10 000 echos worth of resources to plan the ultimate underground wedding?!? that could cost me 4 months/++ of grinding if i only login once a day. what about the cheaper options?
The cheapest weddings in terms of preparation only require 5 "organising" and a small-ish collection of items that are a good handful of echoes or actions to obtain. Eloping, a riverside ceremony, or a hasty wedding in the back of a store. Then there's a proper spite wedding at 100 Organising, a rooftop wedding at 200, a wedding on Watchmaker's Hill for 300, a wedding at zee for 500, a Bohemian celebration for 750, and a grand event at 1000. The 1000 event takes place in St. Dunstan's, with a celebration in a ballroom at the Shuttered Palace. Each of these weddings will give a greater selection of guests and events that can take place during them. Obviously, the best stuff happens at the 10k level, but I would be stunned if the 1000-organising level isn't absolutely fantastic to see.
Progress update: after cashing in over 100 full levels of Connected: the Church, spending over a thousand or more echoes on stolen correspondence plus untold scores of actions converting them to the requisite personal recommendations, I have found myself at Organising a Wedding 1799. So far the option of a stag night unlocked at 200 Organising is the highest-level quality booster I can find. I don't know if any more will unlock when I hit 2000 or more, but you'll be among the first to know if something does.

I grinded some numbers. If anyone has advices about how to improve the number crunching, let me know.
A night of the town cost you 20 compromising documents (which you can grind at 1.73 echo / action via the box, so for 5.78 action 10 echoes of documents), plus 50 intriguing gossip. Excluding extraordinary successes, you can gain 53 of them with 11 actions via unfinished business, so 10.38 actions
for a grand total of 16.16 actions for the material, plus some X number of actions for the 20 points of mw, plus 1 actions to cash-in. This gives you a weasel and 64 points of Organising a wedding.
This means you have one point of Organizing a wedding for each (0.27 + x/64) actions.
Another really nice options are rats! They give out 10 points for 500 rats.
Keep your hands quick (the best rat source i know) gives on average 1 echo of rats for actions. So you need 6 actions to cash in 10 points of Organizing a wedding.
This means: one point of Organizing a wrdding each 0.6 actions.
By comparing the two, this means that you need to accrue 20 points of making waves in at most 21.12 actions to have that "night of the town" is better than rats.
This is completely feasible via Caligula's coffee house and free dinner.
If you have some tales of terror, you can make compromising documents and MW out of it. And that's nice.
Memento - i did not calculated the mw you need to keep your notability. If you have a really high notability (i would say, 8+) this has to be kept in account.
Some more advices:
- If you have a lot of connected: church and you do not mind to lose it, i would advice you to use your suppers, grind night of the town and then persona reccomandations.
-if you like, i would advice you to side on the church in all the Church VS devils and Church VS great game cards. you will gain only 30 connection points of church, but i think this + the added benefice of scandal reduction / second chanties may be wrathful enough.
- Becoming a writer gives 2 night of the town a week, 1 blackmail material, 1 cellar of wine and some other nice stuff. I think it is worthful the cost to change work.

No worries! I can wait a little longer, and take the time to recoup some of my losses. Plus, I have next Wednesday off of work, so that works better than trying to manage a full shift while being full of anticipation.

Oh man. Absolutely worth it, especially at the top tier wedding. Regrettably, I got caught up screencapping for posterity and didn't echo everything, but the stuff I did echo is quite important, or at least very enjoyable. If there are bits you're curious about, feel free to ask! I won't completely give out the content, but it's pretty great stuff.

I think there may just have been a miscommunication and the EBZ twitter thought that the person asking was referring to the Feast of the Rose, to be honest. There seems to be way too much elaborate systems and stuff at play in both the Seen With and Espoused To content for it to be scrapped after just a fortnight; and none of it is Feast-flavoured, so it wouldn't really make that much sense! I mean, I could be wrong, but given Alexis' post I think Matters of the Heart are here to stay, to be honest.

The actual marriage would be a disaster, so one of us would have to leave the other at the alter, but the party would be talked about for AGES!

Bazaar permits can only be used in the first phase of the preparations.
On the other hand, rats are pretty much useful for the buffet, if your character has good stocks of them!

Myself and my betrothed are also aiming for the 10,000 mark, but I've spent all of my stocks and now I'm relying on copious amounts of rats to work as a bribe. Still, it'll (probably) be worth it!

A couple of small clarifications:
1) Weddings are permanent content - they're not limited to the period of the Feast. The Matters of the Heart card is here to stay.
2) A couple of people asked about rewards. I should give fair warning that weddings will not be financially profitable*. They are the domain of Venus, not of Pluto.
*Above all, we strive for realism.
Haha, I assumed as much. But I'm not interested in financial gain from the wedding as much as I am the story content it'll provide. Guests! Happenstances! Bragging rights! Romance! My partner and I should be approaching 9000+ "organising" by the end of the next week or so.

Totally agree with this. I still think it'd be amusing to be able to have multiple Constant Companions (ie, a player spouse, a jewel thief, etc.) and only be able to equip one item at a time, similar to other Home Comforts. Because, I dunno, that just makes perfect sense in my life?

This is intentional. It gives us some mechanical hooks we can use to create all sorts of trouble/entertainment for you when we decide to implement the content for it.
My giggling glee, let me show you it. Given that my spouse and I have seduced pretty much everyone in Fallen London that we've encountered and can (we haven't encountered everyone yet though!) and declared that this wasn't going to change just because we got married, I think this is fantastic and I very much look forward both to things to do with my Player!Spouse and to seeing what kinds of trouble and merriment we can get into with declaring affection for Not!Spouse.

We plan to add new social actions for player spouses - we want to make different activities available once you're married.
Weddings are such a big, complex set of content, though, we want to phase things in. If you've got ideas for things you'd like to do with your spouse, by all means suggest them!
I also noticed that you can, after you're married, admit your affection for another player. More to the point, you can admit your affection for anyone other than your spouse. Being polyamorous IRL means this isn't weird to me but it might be jarring for someone who a) doesn't want to cheat on their spose and b) whose relationship agreement includes "monogamous".
That said, I totally support poly in FL
