Weddings timeline

The Wedding's timeline assumes that Graham and Valanice's wedding in Daventry after KQ2 as mentioned in The World of King's Quest: A Brief History of Daventry (KQ5 Hintbook), and Once Upon a Time in a Land Faraway/The Magical World of King's Quest was a 'second wedding' one year after returning from Kolyma, and one year before the twins birth.

This concept of two weddings does allow for the reference in the King's Quest 4 manual to work if its assumed that the twins birth is calculated from the first wedding in the Kolyma Monastery. This utilizes the KQ4 Timeline and elements of the KQ5 and KQ6 material (it utilizes the 25 anniversary in the KQ6 hintbook).

This timeline merges the KQ4 timeline and KQ5 timeline, as well as a variation of the KQ6 timeline by assuming each is referring to two separate weddings. It is roughly compatible with the Anniversary timeline assuming the extra wedding date is added. The KQ7 timeline can fit on top of it with no issues whatsoever.

It is however incompatible with variants of the Original timeline, aka the 1st variant of the Companion timeline (as that version only places 1 year between KQ1 and KQ2, whereas KQ4 timeline places three years between them).

Note: Assuming Graham was 19 at the time of KQ1 as its stated in sources by Lorelei Shannon, he would be 42 at the time of KQ3/4 in this timeline (which it shares with the Anniversary timeline variants).
