Muhurtam in the metaverse? This Chennai couple’s wedding reception is moving into the future

IIT Madras Project Manager Dinesh SP and his bride-to-be Janaganandhini Ramaswamy are set to have their metaverse reception on February 6, 2022. The meta-reception has been facilitated by Chennai startup TardiVerse. This image is from the couple’s Save The Date

While most brides and grooms are stressed about booking a venue, planning wedding feasts, shopping for trousseaus and more, Dinesh SP and his fiancée Janaganandhini Ramaswamy are busy planning a metaverse.

When Tamil Nadu announced a Sunday lockdown, this meant Dinesh and Janaganandhini had to limit their reception guest list to 100 people. The couple, wanting their family and friends present, decided to revise their plans for the Sunday festivities. Introducing a virtual setting of the metaverse for his wedding reception meant they could invite as many people as they wanted; the virtual guest list stands at around 2,500 now.
