The Metaverse witnessed its first wedding this weekend when a Phoenix couple married their digital identities. On February 5, a wedding ceremony took place in Decentraland in the presence of witnesses, Supreme Court Justice officiant Clint Bolick, and a virtual crowd of over 3,000 guests.
Ryan and Candice Hurley, the bride and groom, chose Rose Law Group to formally register their marriage. Jordan Rose, the group’s Founder and President, believes it was the first wedding ceremony ever held on a blockchain-based Metaverse.
