World of Warcraft players may soon be able to tie-the-knot in game, as fans think Blizzard is teasing an official wedding-ceremony system that will work in conjunction with player housing.
As spotted by Wowhead, Blizzard released a new housing early access trailer to celebrate the launch of what is one of the game's most-requested features. About halfway through the trailer, Blizzard invites players to "make new memories" and shows an outdoor wedding ceremony complete with fireworks and a wedding ring.
That might not be much just taken on its own. After all, players have held unofficial role-play weddings in WoW since its earliest days. However, one player in the trailer's comments on YouTube asked "Did you guys just secretly announce player weddings?" to which Blizzard gave this cheeky reply.
"It won't be a secret anymore if you tell everyone in this comment section," the official Warcraft account responded.
If WoW is getting official wedding in-game wedding ceremonies, it would certainly make sense. Part of Blizzard's goal with player housing and its neighborhood system is to make it a social experience, and inviting friends and family over for a wedding certainly fits the bill. As mentioned above, weddings in WoW are something that have always existed, just without any kind of official support from Blizzard itself.
It's also a feature that exists in other MMORPGs, namely Final Fantasy 14 Online: A Realm Reborn. In Square Enix's MMO, players can sign up for the game's Eternal Bonding ceremony, which grants special wedding ceremony outfits, hairstyles, a ring, an exclusive wedding venue, special emote, and even options when it comes to what kind of ceremony or officiant a couple may want. While the basic ceremony is free, couples who want more customization options (and an exclusive wedding chocobo) can pay $10 or $20 per person for more expensive wedding packages.
Whether or not Blizzard will sell wedding-ceremony packages remains to be seen, but much like housing, it's definitely a feature that feels a bit overdue for an MMO that's been going strong for 21 years.
Player housing is available now for those who preorder WoW's Midnight expansion, though the arrival of a premium currency alongside it has dampened some player's enthusiasm for the feature. Midnight will be released on March 2, 2026, but don't expect WoW to come to consoles anytime soon.
