A recent New York Times profile seems to suggest Metaverse weddings are a completely new thing. The internet disagrees.
So when The New York Times published an article this week making virtual marriage ceremonies seem like a new and exciting concept, the internet was ready to roast the publication.
Second Life, the popular life simulator released in 2003, has been referenced most in bashing the NYT piece.
And for good reason: holding weddings in Second Life has been an integral part of the game for nearly two decades. There’s even an extensive list of virtual venues — free ones! — on the game’s website.
