Everyone knows that wedding is a symbol of commitment and the foundation of your love for your partner. Marriage binds two people in a lifetime commitment. Wedding in India is as important as children taking science after high school. By Indian wedding, if you still think about groom entering on horseback or shahnai music then you are still stuck in pre-pandemic age. During Covid-19, the wedding industry saw many cancellations, postponements, and a lot of chaos. But when has problem stopped people from enjoying their lives? In 2020, people attended Zoom wedding, and by the end of 2021, everyone witnessed the first-ever metaverse wedding. A couple from the USA tied the knot in the metaverse wedding in a trend that was started by Facebook's parent company Meta.
The Metaverse for those not in the know is a virtual environment where you can be present with people in digital spaces. You can kind of think of this as an embodied internet that you're inside of rather than just looking at. The plans laid out by tech leaders outline a Metaverse where users will be able to participate in a digital economy, buy virtual clothes, foods, and experiences, and interact with each other's digital avatars.
After the USA, India became the second country to host a meta verse wedding. On February 06, 2022, a Tamil Nadu couple—Dinesh S P and Janaganandhini Ramaswamy hosted an entirely virtual wedding that took place in the Metaverse.
Meta verse deals with concepts like 3D animation and blockchain, and Indians are good at them. The wedding of this couple is more like a 3D game that the family, friends, and relatives will enjoy and in the future, many people might plan their wedding in this way.
Dinesh, whose work deals with blockchain and cryptocurrency, figured that since blockchain is the foundation on which the Meta verse is built, why not make it a part of their wedding? Luckily, his fiancée agreed. The couple's digital avatar will meet with the guests virtually and they will be able to gift the bride and groom via GPay, and Cryptocurrency.
Now the biggest question is why will you tie the knot in a meta verse wedding and how is it different from other interactive platforms? The metaverse wedding will allow the friends and relatives to bless the bride and groom without any regret that they couldn't be there for the function in real life. You can invest as many people as you want with no limitations to boundaries. One of the many reasons to host a metaverse wedding is that it will be a budget-friendly wedding, especially for Indians who spend tons of money on décor, food, and so much more.
Metaverse is a very new concept and many people are not familiar with the term. When planning a metaverse wedding, it is quite possible for people to face issues in choosing the right company to help them to make a dream wedding. The couple makes their dream come true by organizing this metaverse wedding.
The web development company launched India's first meta verse company called TardiVerse, they built a metaverse for India based on the Polygon blockchain, starting with a Tamil Nadu couple's wedding and the company helped it through the entire process – from planning, inviting relatives and friends, and much more.
Now that you know how to host a metaverse wedding, let's move on to how people can attend a metaverse wedding. To become part of this virtual wedding, one requires a stable internet connection, a laptop or smartphone, and a web browser. You will get a login called MetaMask that will be opened by using the name and password of the person and that's how you become part of this one-of-its-kind wedding experience.
The US couple spent US$30,000 on their metaverse wedding. With less customization, the cost could come down to US$10,000. In India, metaverse weddings can save a lot of your money. There are various packages that companies offer that range from 20,000 to lakhs depending upon what you want and what features you would like to add.
Overall, a metaverse wedding is still a lifesaver because Indian weddings leave a big hole in your pocket with some angry relatives.
