The invitation for the wedding went viral on Twitter after being shared by the happy couple, leaving many social media users bemused. Meanwhile, due to the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, only a limited number of guests are allowed at weddings in India.
In a first, a couple from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu are hosting their wedding reception in the Metaverse – and to make things even weirder, it's Harry Potter-themed.
The Metaverse is an online virtual world where users can live-interact with others through a digital avatar and 3D holographic videos. It claims to offer a
hyper-real alternative world to coexist in.
Dinesh S. P. and Janaganandhini Ramaswamy are scheduled to get married on 6 February in the village of Sivalingapuram. They will digitally host their reception in "Hogwarts."
"I came up with the idea of having a Metaverse wedding reception. My fiancee also liked the idea," Dinesh, a software engineer and blockchain and NFT enthusiast, told
The Times of India daily.
Dinesh's fiancee Janaganandhini said she was "thrilled" with the idea of a Hogwart theme-based virtual reception.
"It's apt in a way as we met on Instagram and will be having our wedding reception on Meta," she said.
