Time to put those Wedding Barges to good use. This mission is a variant of a timed delivery mission: the player has to deliver the groom to the barge inside the specified time window.
The next variant is called Runaway Bride. The Wedding Barge appears at a Distress Signal, or broadcasts requests for assistance in supercruise. After meeting the barge, it offers a mission to locate and recover the blushing bride. The same mechanic is used by Frag Cannon Wedding, where an enraged father commissions you to track down and return the scoundrel who has put his daughter in a delicate condition.
Thirdly we could have a mission called I Thought You Had It to mine one tonne of Gold with a very short deadline in order to recharge the barge's fabricator and replace a list wedding ring, in return for a good reward.
Fourthly, Star Crossed Lovers: in this long-range scenario, a romance spanning two major factions a scion of a Federal corporate family has fallen in love with the heir to an Imperial dynasty, and both must be collected and helped to elope to marry at a remote system, while faction members attempt to prevent the ceremony.
Fifthly, we could have a bachelor party situation where an unfortunate groom is found, unable to remember where the wedding is taking place, requiring a multi stage mission to a number of different systems before the right one is found.
Finally, The Honeymooners: the happy couple (or trio, if the ceremony took place in freewheeling Alliance space) desire to enjoy new vistas, achieved by collecting then from the barge and doing planetary scans of previously unknown moons in 3-5 different systems. Obviously this is a Do Not Die mission.
In all cases, a challenge is provided by NPC attacks from jilted ex lovers, angry brothers, and unpaid strippers and caterers. By using mission specific Occupied Escape Pods, we need not wait until passenger missions are implemented to add these.
