Decentraland, a 3D virtual world browser-based platform, hosted its very first Metaverse wedding, and it was a marriage of a real-life couple from Arizona in the United States.
The pair tied the knot using their digital identities or avatars last week, and it was said to be the first marriage to be held in the Metaverse. According to CoinTelegraph, the ceremony for the couple's exchange of wedding vows took place in Decentraland, and it was an affair where witnesses, 2,000 guests, and the wedding officiant, Supreme Court Justice Clint Bolick, were also present.
The Metaverse wedding was held on Feb. 5, and the bride and groom were identified as Ryan and Candice Hurley. It was a legit wedding as they also hired the Rose Law Group to legally formalize their nuptials.
Jordan Rose, the founder, and president of the said law firm, said that that matrimonial ceremony was the first wedding ever hosted in any blockchain-based Metaverse. The exact venue of the Huryley's marriage was at Rose Law Group's land space on Decentaland.
"Because the metaverse is still in its infancy, we have developed the legal paradigm for a legally recognized marriage," Rose told Cointelegraph. "There currently is no legal framework for marriage in the Metaverse, so whether or not it will be legally binding is more a question of contract.
Now for the Metaverse marriage to be legal, the law firm created a meta-marriage framework by integrating a "Virtual Premarital Agreement." This identifies the bride and groom's virtual selves and digital assets that are recorded on the blockchain.

In general, the "Meta-Marriage License" is granted to couples tying the knot in the virtual world and it identifies, records, and tokenizes the couple's virtual identities and venue of the wedding on the blockchain as an NFT.
"We see the future of the metaverse as being truly decentralized and existing almost completely on the blockchain, so the future of marriage in the metaverse will not need to have a record of their marriage in the real world," Rose added.
