The time has come to vote for your November PoM!
This month's question that candidates had to answer is: The Star Sybil asks you to plan the ultimate Vana'diel wedding for her tarutaru cousins. What would you plan for this dream wedding?
Note: I didn't really intend to imply that the Star Sybil's cousins were marrying each other. ThePsychoticOne's comment made me LOL!

Answer to this month's question: "A wedding?" I said, with more than a hint of disbelief in my voice.
"Yes, a wedding. She asked -specifically-wiffically- for you." the messenger taru said, his slightly pudgy fingers nervously adjusting his glasses, accidentally smudging up the silica glass lenses.
I sighed, quickly starting to feel a headache starting to build up in the back of my head. I flexed my hands behind my head, trying to rub the sore pressure point back there, to help message the pain away.
"Alright...maybe..." I said, tilting my head backwards to look up into the Windurstian sky, partially obscured by the large, billowing leaves of the overhanging trees.
"I'm thinking...on Leremieu Lagoon, in the Marquisate of Tavnazia...where the princess had her wedding on the water..." I mumbled out, my eyes slipping half closed as I let my mind float. "Can have Yoshimoto Lumine perform...and observe Windurstian tradition with the preparing of food. I'll have to contact Drowsorez to see if he can help..."
I shook my head, pushing it all aside for the moment.
"Alright...I'll do this...but only as a favor to Her reincarnation." I said finally, my voice returning to full volume.
The Tarutaru nodded and then scampered off, his footsteps echoing off of the wooden planks beneath us both, helping to keep us from sinking down into the swampy ground.
I sighed, and started to shuffle my way back to my Mog House. "I hope Moogle can coordinate a wedding better than he can stand up to the Moogle union..."

Answer to this month's question: "Well Thayos, I don't generally condone cousins getting married, though the population in Vana'diel has likely dwindled to the extent that there may not be another choice.
As much as I like to write, sappy subjects such as weddings don't overly entertain me. I am however reminded of the beauty of Windurst during the Christmas festivals. It's quite possible that the excruciatingly long walkways throughout Windurst could be used for a romantic scenic chariot ride around the multiple pathways and zones of the city, all the while leading to the destination of Heaven's Tower where Star Sybil would perform the services herself. Fireworks would light the sky in a spectrum of colors, and the reflection of those shimmering lights would sparkle in the bride and groom's eyes as they each in turn speak the words 'I do.'"

Answer to this month's question: "It would be an Elshimo-themed wedding. I'd hold it in the Den of Rancor, with Tonberries as the ring-bearer/flower girl/priest, etc. and make tiki torches out of the Bomb mobs in there. Then I'd hold the afterparty in Ifrit's Cauldron, and hopefully, if everything went right, we could throw the Star Sybil into a volcano."

Answer to this month's question: "Jewish style, complete with a nice canopy and an open-air venue such as the courtyard outside the Optistery. It's right next to the Cooking Guild, who would have their hands full with preparing a veritable mountain of food, and the best wedding cake this side of the Gugru Blue. Naturally, it wouldn't be complete without the obligatory singing and dancing, with everyone getting truly sozzled on Yagudo Drink, not to mention waking up the next morning feeling like they've been Spike Flailed by Jormy, but it's not every day you get married, after all!"
