Last month, a couple hosted their wedding in the metaverse on the virtual platform Decentraland, sponsored by Taco Bell.
Others watched the whole experience, including the groom's grandmother in India, as part of the "Taco Bell Metaverse Wedding Contest."
- Virtual weddings allow people to do things in avatar form they cannot do in person, and some couples are attracted to the lower cost.
- Weddings in the metaverse also allow loved ones to participate without traveling.
- Some jurisdictions only recognize virtual weddings as legally binding if the participants are viewable on video.
- Virtual weddings lack realness and can feel like interactive video games.
- The emotional aspect is also an obstacle for some couples and families.
