The format of the quest was extremely critical at this stage. Our system allows for complex quests, but the sheer size of the one Peter had written, including the number of choices, convinced us that we would need to break it into multiple sub-quests. Our system handles long linear quests well, but branching ones are more difficult... easier if done in separate quests in the database. So, The Wedding Quest was broken down into one main quest and seven sub-quests that elaborated on various tasks that you received while getting ready for the wedding, such as retrieving a lock of hair from the bride, haggling over pricing with caterers, and even negotiating a deal on the bride's dowry with her three uncles.
