Repeated story beats between books 1 and 2?

I wish I didn't have to crowdsource, but since I'm writing up a big list of confirmed book 3 beats and foreshadowing, I was wondering which beats repeat in The Name of the Wind and The Wise Man's Fear.

For example:

  • Both books have Kvothe arrive somewhere after a wedding. Both weddings are in, a convoluted way, related to the Chandrian. (The Maer's is more subtle, but it's there.)

  • Both books end with Kvothe calling the name of the wind in a significant way.

I'm going to be rereading to collect these, but I'm sure you know more. Help?
