Save the date: February 6 marks the first ever metaverse wedding.
Dinesh Sivakumar Padmavathi and Janaganandhini Ramaswamy from Tamil Nadu have invited 2,000 people to their virtual reality reception. Guests will be able to attend in avatar form — each avatar will be dressed in a digital sari or suit — and will be able to interact as if they were in the same room. There’ll even be a ghost avatar of the bride’s father, who died last year. “Because of the pandemic, a physical, real kind of reception is not possible with the huge number of people attending,” Padmavathi, 24, has said of the ceremony. “So, we decided: let’s make it in the metaverse.”
