The guy you have to speak to here, in the palace, called my templar a peasant because she likes to drink red wine and eat fish from Wrothgar (apparently) I do not approve of his judgemental attitude... but to get the key, you must pickpocket one of the guys who has a serving tray on his head

Having done this quest on another Character I find i cannot get to the next stage of getting inside the kitchen on this run through

Ziera is silent and cannot be spoken to unless you log out and log back in and she only repeats what she has previously said after she already has discovered Nicholas is Cosh

I have gotten a kitchen key from one of the waiters but cannot access the door to the Kitchen

I have tried this with 2 different dates with same result

I did find it ODD that getting the wedding invitation the one you pickpocketed in the Market had no wedding invitation at all (after I emptied his pockets) so went to the alternative option inside a house and got it

my guess is that because the quest marker remains (escort Zeira to the palace) the next trigger to progress never happens

logging in again doesn't help as Zeira only repeats what she has said previously (the same speech BEFORE not knowing Cosh is Nicholas)

I also tried both methods for getting Zeira inside (the dog and the doorman)

It would be no big deal if it wasn't part of the Main Quest so I would really like to progress in this quest

yeah, I still trying to steal the invitiation with no luck, I did not get it at all
I tought with latest patches it was going to be fixed instead bug is still there

how I can get an invitation in alternate way ?

Is that the one where you have to pick pocket it from someone? I could never get it off time, It is possible to get it from a building nearby instead. I spent hours trying to get it from the man and failed. Took seconds to steal it from the building
