Marriage means festivity, gathering of near and dear ones. But in the pandemic situation, it is not possible at all. That is why a couple from Tamil Nadu, India has organized their wedding reception in Metaverse. Two thousand guests have been invited in the reception.
As a fan of the self-proclaimed “Potter heads” of Harry Potter, the Tamil Nadu duo chose the Hogwarts-themed party; Where invited guests have to appear using phones, tablets or laptops.
The auspicious moment for the reception has been chosen on the first Sunday in February. On that day, at sunset, Dinesh Shivkumar Padmavati and Janaganandhini Ramaswamy will tie their knot at at Krishnagiri, the groom’s house, about three hundred kilometers away from Chennai. Dinesh is a project collaborator at IIT Madras by profession. And Janaganandhini is a software developer. The formality of this marriage will be completed in the presence of close friends and relatives.
After that the wedding reception will be held at the bride’s house in Shivalingapur. Where guests have the opportunity to choose the avatar and clothing of choice. One and a half lakh Indian rupees has already been spent on this digital reception. Simulations of the wedding ceremony have been created. By dint of virtual reality or augmented reality gear from a variety of platforms and devices, one can join at this wedding reception even in social media ideas on blockchain. Wealthy guests will be able to create a separate space for themselves by imitating the stage for themselves.
The most interesting thing is that the late father of the bride Ramaswamy will also be present at the ceremony to bless the wedding. For this, Dinesh has created a three-dimensional avatar of him. He said that due to working with blockchain technology, he had been engaged in Etherium mining since last year and has been arranging wedding preparations at Metaverse for the last one year.
Earlier, American couple Tracy and Dave Gagnon got married in Metavars last December. And Padmavati-Ramaswamy’s metaverse marriage will be the first in India.
