In a bid to sidestep COVID-19 restrictions in India, a couple opted for a wedding reception in the ‘metaverse universe,’ attracting over 3,000 guests to their celebration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dinesh SP, 24, and Janaganandhini Ramaswamy, 23, tied the knot in a traditional ceremony in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, as reported by The National News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to pandemic-related<\/strong> limitations restricting the number of in-person attendees to 100, the couple decided to host their wedding in the virtual realm<\/strong>. This unique celebration, touted as “Asia’s first metaverse marriage,” lasted approximately two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identifying themselves as Harry Potter enthusiasts, the couple collaborated with the tech startup TardiVerse to create a Hogwarts-themed metaverse venue for their reception. Dinesh expressed his desire to avoid compromising the significance of their big day with limited guests and, instead, opted to throw a metaverse party, extending invitations to people worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vignesh Selvaraj, the owner of TardiVerse, shared his excitement about the project, stating, “It was an exhilarating experience. Nearly 3,000 people attended the reception. I spent days and nights creating this space, and I am proud that it has been such a great achievement.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the groom, who works with blockchain technology and has a keen interest in cryptocurrencies<\/a><\/em><\/strong>, and the bride, an IT expert, took the innovative step of sending their wedding invitations as non-fungible tokens (NFTs<\/a><\/em><\/strong>) to friends and family worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
