Almost three years ago when I picked up this game, I had absolutely no idea what I was getting into. I was at Wall-Mart looking for a new game to play on my new PC I configed. FFXI had just been released and asked for the most performance out of all the games there that caught my eye. I picked it up, installed it, and instantly became addicted. However what I had never intended was that I'd actually make friends.
About a month into playing, Byaina offered me my first LS, Maendas (Or something) and it's where I made my first friends. Players like Chirch, Zyuch, Byaina, and a bunch of others most of you have probably never knew existed were in there. But there was one player who became very special to me almost instantly. Leeluu and Byaina are two of the most helpful players that could have ever possibly existed in this game.
Leeluu and I experienced everything together that the game had to offer. Rank 2 - 10 in San'd and Bastok, AF hell, and LS construction and maintinance. While we adventured in the fantasy world, we became close in the real world, very close. Actually I'd go so far as to say she's become my best friend!
June of 2004 when weddings became available, I wasn't nearly as confident in our relationship as I am now. I knew we were friends, but I had no clue if our friendship was strictly fantasy, or was becoming a RL reality, so when I decided to ask her to marry me, as stupid as it sounds, I was scared! But lo-and-behold, she said yes and it was only slightly aukward!
Byaina put in the first few applications, some others put in more, and some others put in more, until FINALLY 2 years later on my 2nd PC's toon, we got accepted! 2 years of stupid lottery wedding declinations!
So, if you are someone who knows Lee and I and would be excited to be in a virtual wedding;
Location: Southern San d'Oria (Count Caffaule's Manor, outdoors)
Date of Ceremony: 7/2/2006 Sunday at 5:00 PM PDT, 8:00 PM EDT
