Knight at Arms
Okay, this may sound a bit crazy, and I am not sure if this can be brought into the game at all, but still there's an idea that crossed my mind eventually: do you remember what were the weddings and overall romance thing were looked like in Warband? It wasn't super diverse, but at least we had different women with different tastes, so we had to choose what poem to read to her, and also there was an event when you had to persuade your spouse to run away with you, because her family would've never approved the marriage.
Alas, the wedding in Bannerlord is simplified to a simple "Find a girl you like, click click click (save scum if you need), then chase the clan leader, click click, done"-thing. To make weddings a bit more interesting, I suggest adding some wedding traditions for every faction:
* Imperials are Imperials, so for them we may leave the procedure as it is now - they are a Kingdom of money and bureaucracy, so, if you can show that you have the money - you are good to go.
*For Khuzaits you may add a horse riding competition, similar to one that was in Warband on the training fields (you know, riding with obstacles and all that). Wanna make it more difficult? A shooting competition on a horseback may do - because that's was Khuzaits are into.
*Sturgia - a hand-to-hand duel with either a head of the clan or the strongest member of the bride's clan. "Want to marry a noble daughter of our clan? Prove you are worthy of her hand, you milk-drinker!"
*Battania are all about legends and ancient stories, so maybe there should be a small quest where you should do some noble deed, worthy of legends to be told! Here you should be able to deal with some kind of "path of a warrior" - an obstacle course, similar to the one from the Witcher 3 quest. Of course, it is impossible to implement the parkour series, but I am sure that something can definitely be done here.
*Vlandia is a land of knights, so here we may either implement a standard knight Tournament (A duel with lances on horse back) or do the horse riding stuff, similar to the Khuzait one, yet, here you should be able to show your skills with the lance on horseback (yet again, we can remember the Training Field in Warband to get the picture of what it may look like).
*For Aserai, I haven't come up with any idea, because, unfortunately, I don't know much about the Eastern wedding traditions But I hope, you got the idea.
Finally, to make this whole stuff less irritating, you may still leave the ability to simply pay a good sum to marry the bride. Because, I understand how irritating it may be, when your third wife is getting killed in battle and you have to do one and the same stuff again and again. The mentioned above events may get repetitive, so just let players decide.
Well, that's it. Thank you for taking the time and reading this, and I hope you like the idea.
P.S. As I mentioned at the beginning, I am not sure if this is even possible to add such stuff in the game, yet, I think we all agree here that the wedding stuff should be revised a bit in Bannerlord. If my suggestion is impossible to be implemented, I hope, at least, that it will give the developers some good ideas on how to make weddings more entertaining and less monotonous as they are now.
