If this means I can start attending formal events in my underwear, I think I'm okay with it: Is having your wedding in the METAVERSE about to become the new trend? That's where everyone has an avatar that looks like them, and you do it all virtually.
"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.
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 PASSED AWAY last year.
