This sounds awesome!
I think that it's adorable that Sean and his wife are going to be the ones controlling the characters!
Also, I'm really excited that we're going to get new missions and costumes!
Sounds awesome 
Listen to Survival Guide. Because you should!

Quick question since I can't find any info about it anywhere. I just bought and applied the Wedding Pack code to my account, was not logged in, and the items are not on my characters yet. I'm going to take a guess that it won't be "active" till the V-tines event ?
Can we talk about bulk discounts? Please? Or discounts for several accounts in one family? Hubby and I both want it, and if we do it for all of the accounts, that's $60.00.
Ok I think this is pretty cool, I really like the wedding pack. But is their a wedding veil???
Valor getting his upgrades today if available
Edited...
Got it hope to get a chance to actually use it And I think throwing rice should act like a DE swarm just saying.
New Edit 
And the Tux rocks, course I'm not as flashy as the Deluxe is but the Butler tux rules and it dresses up nicley with other accessories.. Pictures coming soon.

Looks like it:
'The wedding dress costume includes a long lace veil, short stockings, and lace dress and bodice, as well as special "Excess Plus," "Hearts Plus," and "Angelic Plus" costume pieces for chest and hips (all available to female characters). The tuxedo costume includes an elegant formal tuxedo jacket with tails (available to all characters).'
I am so so so so so tempted to get this in order to make a katana wielding blood spattered bride character.
With this new paid expansion I hope there are a lot of weddings I can crash ingame for it to be worth it.
Pardon my reposting of this...

Emotes:

ThrowConfetti
ThrowRice

It's active now. Give it about 5 minutes.
Pity there's not more for male, but they already have top hats, bow ties and the like...
Hot dang.
Best Valentine's Day event, EVER.
And I have a certain Toxic-Clown Mastermind who'd look just oh so happy in a purple tux.

No badge with it?
Btw, the veil seems to be having the same problem that trench coats had when they were first introduced: you can't change the inside color!
Haven't found a workaround like the trechcoats had, however...

What does the veil look like? Where does it attach? We need to know!
Just wondering if this indicates a change in business model from NCSoft. After all, its a low cost pay upgrade with a small amount of content. Im wondering if this is a sign of things to come?

There is still a full complement of free Issues and content scheduled for this year and beyond for City of Heroes and City of Villains.
This pack is something that we were able to make available outside of our regular release schedule. So, no, you won't have to pay for other new costumes and emotes. We realize that the Wedding Pack won't be for everyone, but hopefully those who are interested in it will find that they like having the option to obtain it.

Wow, $9.99 for a few costume parts? That's a bit steep. $4.99 I might spring for. I love the game and complain about very little, but considering there are not any temp powers or more than basically two costume options it's a bit pricy, IMHO.
And just to beat the trolls to the punch, yeah I know. I don't have to buy it. And at this price I probably won't. But I will give my opinion just the same, thank you.
Tech Support Rule #1 - They will lie to you. Usually intentionally.
If the throw rice animation can be remade where it lowers perception I'll buy this expansion pack.

My first thought upon reading about the wedding pack was the number of 'Kill Bill' bride clones I'd be subjected to in Atlas. Ah well. Guess it beats Wollverreeen14 that I saw the other day.

Seriously. I'm compulsive, so I WILL buy this, no matter what. It would be nice If I was at least buying a new badge. lol
<edit>I think we found a contender for the "I paid money for this badge" badge.

Pay extra for special costume or emotes, sry no thank-you.
New missions is way awsome, I was beginning to wonder what this year would entail, especially after the call went out for those whom met & fell on love ingame.

Drat...I wish I could make it to the blessed event, but them's the breaks when you work banking hours on the west coast.
Ah well, I hope everyone has a fantastic time!

Manticore, Sister Psyche to Wed!
On Thursday, February 14th, 2008 Paragon City will rejoice in a celebration of love and union between two of its luminary Heroes. Manticore and Sister Psyche will celebrate their devotion to each other with a very special live wedding ceremony to be held on the Training Room (test server). The Heroes will be controlled in real life by Sean Dornan-Fish, the man behind the Manticore persona, and his wife Jennifer Dornan-Fish. Matt Positron Miller will be on hand to officiate the ceremony, along with many other signature characters from the City of Heroes® universe.
Beginning at 3:00PM PST (6:00 PM EST) on the Training Room, and repeating for the next 3 hours, we will present the wedding ceremony live. We invite anyone who is interested to come out and partake in the festivities! However, please keep in mind that each presentation of the ceremony will only accommodate approximately one hundred participants. Gaining access to the wedding event will be simply the luck of the draw for those in the zone when it begins. Heroes and Villains, look for the ushers in Atlas Park and Mercy Island (there is one usher in each zone).
Spring Fling Begins Feb. 14th!
Valentines Day also kicks off this years annual Spring Fling event, including DJ Zeros Pocket D Jubilee. Just head over to Pocket D, the space between Paragon and the Rogue Isles, where DJ Zero will be playing host again. Ganymede, Emissary of the God Eros, will be back, hoping to harness the primordial force of love, allowing Hero and Villain alike to lay down arms and join together to complete a host of missions.
Outside of the Pocket D, and in conjunction with the live Wedding event, players will find new Hero and Villain contacts in Atlas Park and Mercy Island. Sela Vermont, wedding coordinator of Manticore and Sister Psyche, sends Heroes on a special wedding gift reconnaissance mission while Zev Scalamore, under direction of Arachnos, enlists Villains to do his dirty work.
Event Timing:
Start: Thursday, February 14th,
8:59am PST / 11:59am EST
Finish: Thursday, February 28th,
8:59pm PST / 11:59pm EST
