On November 5, 2026, Mabinogi Mobile introduced a new feature: vow ceremonies.

Players could already become a couple, but now they can hold a vow ceremony and invite their friends to celebrate!
An in-game wedding! Players were already holding ceremonies on update day,
and I joined in both as a guest and by holding a ceremony of my own.

💍 How to Hold a Vow Ceremony in Mabinogi Mobile

To hold a vow ceremony, you'll first need to become a couple with another player.
Once you've been a couple for at least 7 days,
you can buy a 'Token Ring' for 100,000 gold from the NPC 로디 at the Emain Macha ceremony venue.
Use the ring while your partner is online to propose.
If they accept, return to the NPC 로디 to prepare for your ceremony.

Vow ceremonies take place in the Garden of Promise, which holds up to 40 people, including the couple.
A nice bonus: you can invite friends from other servers, too.
You can bring your own ceremony outfits or rent special outfits for the occasion.
Rentals cost 300 Deca per character, charged when you first enter.
You can use the rented outfits for 24 hours.

Once the ceremony is complete, each partner receives a 'Vow Ring'
and can also earn the 'Bound by Vows' title.
The ring doubles as a keepsake, showing the date you first exchanged vows.

💌 My First Vow Ceremony as a Guest

On the day the update arrived, I was running Abyss as usual when a vow ceremony invitation landed in my mailbox.
The invitation's travel button let me head straight to the venue.
As it turned out, my first ceremony as a guest was a little unusual.

The bride and groom had so many guests that they planned to split the ceremony into parts 1 and 2.
What they hadn't realized was that the venue stays open for up to 2 hours after it's created,
so they couldn't open a new ceremony right away...!

In the end, the bride and groom walked down the aisle on their own, without using the official ceremony feature,
while the guild leader officiated in chat. Was it always... this improvised?

I was a little puzzled at my first vow ceremony, but that made it all the more fun.
I'd put together a formal outfit to look the part as a guest,
making sure to avoid white so I wouldn't be that inconsiderate wedding guest.

Later, I attended a guild member's ceremony that used the official vow ceremony feature.
Both players had male characters, and I liked that Mabinogi Mobile lets players

become a couple and hold a vow ceremony regardless of their characters' genders.

The official ceremony was simpler than I expected, though.
There were no dedicated cutscenes—just character movement and the NPC 도나 officiating.
The game usually does such a good job with character animations and cutscenes,
so wouldn't a scene of the couple exchanging rings or making their vows have made the moment more immersive?

🕯 A Proposal in a Graveyard—Is This Really Happening?

I have an in-game partner, too.
We're not a couple in real life. When the couple feature first arrived,
I sent a request to a friend so we could try out the new content together.
We'd already passed the 7-day relationship requirement for a ceremony long ago.
There was just one problem: my friend usually logs off as soon as their dailies are done.
Our playtimes rarely lined up, so I hadn't even found a chance to propose.

Then one day, a notification popped up: my friend was online!
This was my chance, so I headed straight to their location.
I wanted to get the proposal in before they logged off.

That location happened to be Tir Chonaill Graveyard.
We had gravestones behind us, spiders roaming around, and other players gathering cobwebs nearby.
Not exactly a romantic setting for a proposal.
The guild members watching put a positive spin on it, calling it a vow to stay together until death.
When you put it that way, I suppose it does sound a little romantic...

👰 We Even Had a Tuxedo and Dress Ready!

Once the proposal was accepted, we visited the venue to start preparing for the ceremony.
We could have rented the special outfits, but the designs and colors weren't quite what we wanted.
At 300 Deca per person, we decided to skip the rentals and wear outfits we'd put together ourselves.

I wore a tuxedo, and my friend wore a dress.
I remember giving my friend a hard time when they pulled that dress a while back,
but who knew we'd need it for this... Every outfit has its moment, I suppose.

We sent out invitations and took commemorative photos with our friends at the venue.
The ceremony begins automatically when both partners step onto the heart-shaped marker at the end of the aisle.
The NPC 도나 officiates, and a prompt asks whether you want to make your vows to your partner.

Here's something to keep in mind!
At my ceremony, the player who proposed was assigned the groom's role, while the player who accepted took the bride's role.
The character in the bride's role carries the bouquet, so check before proposing if either of you has a preferred role.
You don't repeat the proposal process each time you hold another ceremony,
so it's worth choosing your roles carefully.

We wrapped up the ceremony with our friends and took photos to remember the occasion.
The presentation left a little to be desired, but having everyone together to celebrate with us was fun in itself.

❤ Want to Make Special Memories with Your Partner?

I exchanged vows with a friend rather than a real-life partner,
but putting together our outfits, inviting guests, and taking commemorative photos was still a lot of fun.

Any players who have become an in-game couple can enjoy a vow ceremony, regardless of their characters' genders.
If you and your real-life partner both play Mabinogi Mobile, it could be an even more memorable experience.

Want an in-game anniversary of your own? Why not hold a vow ceremony in Mabinogi Mobile?
As for where to propose... I'd suggest somewhere other than a graveyard, if possible ㅎ...
