Virtual Weddings?
June 4, 2007
Some “photos” (screenshots) of a World of Warcraft wedding here. Now, I can’t yet figure out whether the lucky couple were just doing this virtual wedding for kicks, and I couldn’t even tell if they’d met each other in real life, but nonetheless, they are getting married, with a “priest” running the ceremony, and with a numerous guests (and the odd enemy trying to stop the proceedings). I have heard of people meeting up over the game and then, being interested in each other, the people meet up in real life, and then MAYBE get into a relationship – I wonder if this is one of those things that lead to a wedding which was both in game and in RL. Although marriages do not help your game process at all (though I guess, if the two “married” people are valuable players, together they have more influence in raids/groups/guild), Blizzard has set up the items needed to have a wedding – tuxedo, wedding dress, rings, alcohol, special food, fireworks and even a cathedral. Strange?

Wedding dress… why?
