One of the oldest traditions of Lithmore is the Daisy Chain, used during the reception of the wedding. Lithmorrans, known for their lavish end-of-year wedding festivities, present the bride and groom with a chain of interwoven daisies, which are used to bind the couple's wrists. Throughout the remainder of the festivities, the two must work in concert to accomplish even the most mundane task, lest they break the chain - considered to be the illest of omens, portending a short or disastrous marriage. Indeed, it is not unheard of for a marriage to be annulled by the senior clergy present due to a sundered Daisy Chain. It is rumored that King Dav's chain broke upon his wedding to his first wife - a rumor hotly denied by both the Royal Family and the Order.

The daisy chain is created by a close friend of the bride, either a maid or groom of honor. It is brought to the church on the day of the wedding and given to the priest to tie about the wrists of the bride and groom.
