New Delhi: A Tamil Nadu couple is set to host their wedding reception digitally — in the Metaverse to be precise.

Dinesh SP and Janaganandini Ramaswamy are to get married in February in Tamil Nadu's Sivalingapuram village, but their Hogwarts-themed wedding reception will take place in the metaverse, Times of India reported.

Metaverse is a virtual world where users can meet and connect with each other digitally through unique avatars. The metaverse is a fully immersive, 3D version of the internet, combining various elements of technology, such as augmented reality, virtual reality, blockchain etc.   

"I came up with the idea of having a Metaverse wedding reception, and my fiancee also liked the idea. I have been into crypto and blockchain technology, and have been mining ethereum, a form of cryptocurrency, for the last one year. Since blockchain is the basic technology of Metaverse, when my wedding was fixed, I thought of having a reception in Metaverse," Dinesh told Times of India.

"We are also accepting marriage gifts via Metaverse. Guests can transfer gift vouchers or Google Pay and we are also accepting cryptos as gifts," he added.

Dinesh has posted on Twitter a glimpse of his upcoming wedding:

I feel so proud and blessed that I have seen and taken advantage of many great opportunities in this world before millions of people have seen them, Beginning of something big!
