Is this the first (real) wedding to take place in the metaverse?

With the pandemic making it difficult to organise a lavish, large-scale wedding ceremony in the real world, why not create the experience in the metaverse? That’s exactly what two Americans have just done, the first to have shared this special day, not with their family and friends, but with their avatars.

Since the start of the pandemic, weddings have been subject to ever-changing rules and restrictions. Completely outlawed for a certain time, then permitted but only with a certain number of attendees, many would-be brides and grooms found themselves having to cancel or get extra creative in order to share the day with their loved ones. Video conferencing has been particularly popular when some guests could not travel, but the advent of new virtual worlds could further revolutionise the wedding sector.
