META WEDDING

First post!

When people ask me how well weddings will take root in the metaverses, I always say that just a few arguments will be enough for me to prove that in the future this will be the same norm as classic weddings in the real world. 

The first and most important argument for me is that this type of marriage registration can be not only fashionable, but also simply the only possible one. In the early 2000s, we sat in chat rooms at night and talked with people from different parts of Russia and the world. The first time I got married was through an online marriage website. Me and a girl with the nickname @Stylus were given an online certificate, declaring us husband and wife. I only knew about her what she said, and her appearance was shown by a photo of her avatar. By the way, I never divorced her. In fact, it was an online ceremony on the WEB 2.0 Internet. 

Time goes by and people may have different reasons to get married online. He can work under a contract in another part of the world, and she will not be able to move to him. Here a beautiful ceremony in the Meta-universe can come to the rescue. Many couples are still denied the right to marry due to various limiting circumstances. These include couples entering into interracial, inter-class, interfaith, and same-sex marriages. 

As a rule, bold brands like to be in new territories. In the City Hall of Love project of the Closeup brand of Uniulever, couples can create their own NFT marriage certificate and perpetuate their love forever in the blockchain.
  

What are the benefits of a Metaverse wedding? If you really want to do something unusual, then here you can give your imagination a flight and bring any concept to life. A wedding on Mars or a themed reception at Hogwarts. Any customization that is difficult to get in physical form. At the same time, millions of dollars are not needed to hold a ceremony in the castle of your dreams. It's hard to imagine that in the real world the groom can fly on a dragon..

Even your oath can be registered in the blockchain in the form of a digital image on the OpenSea platform. Below is a real example of such an NFT Oath:
   
”This contract is between Shruti Sathyan Nair, born on March 17, 1988, and Anil Mohan Narasipuram, born on October 11, 1986. The parties to this agreement are hereby declared husband and wife on November 15, 2021 and must hold on, in sickness and in health, now and forever.”

Another couple Candice Carly and Ryan Harley got married in the metaverse in February 2022 on the Decentraland platform. Explaining why they arranged a metaverse wedding after 14 years of marriage, Ryan says: "I am always fascinated by new and exciting things and have kept up with new blockchain-related technologies. I offered my wife an interesting way to renew our existing vows and extend our marriage in a multiverse that will last forever.”

Their avatars and thousands of participants gathered at a hotel in Decentraland. The ceremony for the avatars was conducted by Clint Bolick, a judge of the Arizona Supreme Court.

Such a ceremony allows you to gather loved ones from all over the world without any restrictions. Guests at your wedding can receive gifts in the form of NFT. This can be, for example, 10,000 of your wedding photos posted on the stock exchange.. 

And who knows, maybe tomorrow the collection from your META wedding will cost millions of dollars?
