Cheva Marks (wedding marks) and other ceremonial things

Hey everyone, I've got a few questions regarding Cheva marks. I know that they appear after a couple (or alternate form of relationship) take solemn vows to each other at a wedding, and that Cheva always attends in some form to mark the wedded characters.

1) What do Cheva marks look like and do they look the same on both of the wedded characters? Do they depend on the character's personality or relationship to one another?

2) Where do Cheva marks occur? Are they on a specific body part or does it vary?

3) Are there any traditional wedding or engagement customs that are consistent throughout Mizahar (akin to the wedding ring that is common on Earth)?

4) When roleplaying something like a wedding, is there lore for specific ceremonies (based on race, culture, and/or city)? If not, do players have creative license to come up with their own interpretation of such an event? I would assume if the characters wanted a unique wedding then it would be easier to have creative license, but what if the players were attempting to mimic a 'traditional' wedding that didn't have sufficient lore?

I think those are my main questions but I may have more later. Thanks =)

The Marriage wiki page explains some of what you're asking :)

Thanks a lot. That explains quite a bit. And now that I've seen it, I'm sure I stumbled across that page before at some point and then lost it.
