Decentraland, a metaverse platform built on the Ethereum network that allows users to create, engage with and monetize digital content through a variety of interactive experiences, has become the first metaverse to host a wedding.
An American couple had their wedding with their digital identities on Saturday, the 5th of February 2022, in the first-ever marriage that took place in the Metaverse. The wedding ceremony took place in Decentraland and had all the features of a physical wedding which includes witnesses, a Supreme Court Justice official and a virtual crowd of 2,000 guests.
The bride and groom, Ryan and Candice Hurley hired Rose Law Group to legally formalize the marriage. The group’s Founder and President Jordan Rose claims it was the first-ever wedding hosted on any blockchain-based Metaverse.
