Question time! Because Toby trivia is fun.

It's been a while since we've done this, and with A Red-Rose Chain coming up, I figure it's time to once again offer to answer your questions about the world. So...

I will make ten blog posts detailing aspects of Toby's universe. Ask me anything! I will not answer every question, but will select the questions that I think are the most interesting/fun/relevant, and will detail them to my heart's content. There's a lot to learn and know, and asking loses you nothing. Remember that nothing I answer here is full canon until it appears in a book: I will always reserve the right to change things if the series shifts between now and then.

Leave your questions on this post. I'm declaring comment-reply amnesty for any that I choose not to answer this time, since otherwise, my wee head may explode.

Game on!

Would you be willing to give any details on Fae wedding customs?
I second that! In fact, I almost asked this question yesterday, but seeing as how someone has gotten engaged, I thought it might be too spoilerific. Since it has been asked though....

We know divorce is pretty simple in fae society, and that a marriage itself is complex, but what about the ceremony? Is there a ceremony, or do they just go to the equivalent of the county clerk and fill out some forms? I'm guessing, hoping, it's the former, I mean we've seen that the purebloods do like to throw parties, so on the one hand you'd think they'd pull out all the stops for a wedding. On the other hand, they are immortal, and when divorce boils down to both agreeing to call it quits, a lot of them have probably been hitched repeatedly.

If there is a ceremony, is it pretty standard across the spectrum, or do customs vary between the different types of fae? Since their societf is based on a feudal model one would expect the nobles to have the biggest weddings, but among us humans even the peasants tend to throw some lavish weddings. Of course with us mortals it's likely going to be a once in a lifetime event (despite the divorce rate). Was for me, at least. Anyway, I think it'd be cool to hear about what customs the fae have.
