In early February, the first wedding took place in the Decentraland metaverse. The event was attended by a representative of the court, witnesses, and about 2,000 guests.
In real life, Ryan and Candice Hurley from Phoenix, Arizona have been married for 14 years. They hired Rose Law Group to register their marriage in the metaverse. According to the head, Jordan Rose, experts have developed "a whole legal concept."

The bride and groom signed a "virtual premarital agreement" that determines their identities and digital assets. The marriage certificate was issued in the form of an NFT.

“At this point in the metaverse, there is no legal basis for marriage, so the question of whether it will be lawfully valid depends more on the contract,” Rose said.
The ceremony was not without technical problems. For some guests, the bride was dressed in a dress, for others - in a sweatshirt, and some of the guests did not see her at all.
