Getting married...online
Filed under: Alternative Weddings
Initially, my husband and I met online, through the internet personals. After some emails and a little chatting, we met in person for our first date. I mean, you can't have your first date online, right? Apparently you can. In fact, you can get MARRIED online. And I don't mean get married to someone you know and love while others watch online; I mean, get married. Online. To another player in your role-playing game, either because you are genuinely in love with him or her, or simply for the fun of it. From wikipedia: "It is interesting to note that in many cases the participants do not know each other outside the virtual community. Some couples may not even know each other's true name, gender, etc. Some do, in fact, extend this union outside the virtual, but many do not."
These weddings have cyber guests, cyber rings, even fake cake and photographs. In essence, they have everything -- virtually.
