Are Metaverse Weddings About to Become the New Trend?
"The New York Times" did a story on a metaverse wedding in the U.S. last month. Now a couple in India is doing one, and CNN just did a big write-up. Obviously covid made it harder to get together, so that's one reason it's happening. Plus, it's cheaper. That's where everyone has an avatar that looks like them, and you do it all virtually.
The couple in India is inviting 2,000 people to their reception. They're big Harry Potter fans, so they had a whole Hogwarts-style world built for it. And it's costing them just over $2,000, or about $1 per guest.
Here's something crazy you can't do with a normal wedding. They say an avatar of the bride's father will be there, even though he DIED last year.
