I thought this thread already existed and then realized that was just about marriageable ages.

So! What sort of different customs might appear in futuristic/scifi weddings? What about off-world or alien cultures? Human marriages are symbolized by a ring- what sort of emblems would other cultures use?

I'm specifically trying to figure out how an alien's proposal might be different from that of a modern humans...

Throw in the fact aliens might be telepathic, and this could get interesting. The whole marriage ceremony could be done in your head...

I'd not thought about it in sci-fi, but I have for fantasy.

*thinks*

That's nothing compared the the couple who got married (in Turkey, I believe) over twitter by standing in front of each other with a tablet and tweeting "I Do".

Someone actually did that?!?!?!? Wow... Forget AI's, Twitter will take over the world instead!!!

I wouldn't know for sci-fi though. I really need to think about it; but while my methods of transportation and storylines follow the science fiction route, my races are distincly fantastical.

You are joking? Wow!

What about witnesses though? *Isn't sure how that would work*
