Are Metaverse Weddings, The Next Big Thing in The Wedding Space? India's First Metaverse Marriage

A few days ago, I got a message about India’s first metaverse wedding. I'm going to share what I think will be the next big thing. The world has moved to the virtual space for social gatherings of all kinds, be it a conference or a music fest.

So what about weddings? Can we get married in the metaverse?

According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, "metaverse" is defined as "a virtual world similar to the real world but created by software".

The answer is yes. The times are changing and India's first metaverse marriage took place recently on June 7, 2020.

What Is A Metaverse Wedding?

In case you haven't heard of this term before, a "metaverse" is an alternate reality, where virtual people and objects interact with each other in real-time. In fact, I've been writing about this topic for years, and last year I wrote an article on how to get started with creating your own metaverse wedding.

The idea of a metaverse wedding is that you create a virtual world where your friends can visit and interact with each other, while they're actually at your wedding or event. It's like having multiple rooms in an apartment building, but instead of one room being used by all of your guests, each room has its own unique purpose and design

In 2020, the wedding space saw a major shift in how couples were planning their big day. Due to the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, many couples had to cancel or postpone their weddings to a later date, while others opted for alternative routes like elopements and micro weddings.

While these drastic changes were necessary in order to ensure the safety of couple's friends and family members, they also helped push the wedding industry into the future - specifically with metaverse weddings. The term "metaverse" was initially coined by Neal Stephenson in his 1992 novel Snow Crash, where he described it as "a virtual world that parallels the real world." Today, it is used more broadly to refer to any online platform that replicates real-life experience via a 3D environment.

If you've played games like Fortnite or watched Netflix's Ready Player One, then you've already had some exposure to "the metaverse." In fact, we're already seeing big players likeFacebook and Microsoft make investments in virtual reality technology Beyond gaming and entertainment,

metaverse weddings could be the next big thing in the wedding space. With travel restrictions still in place due to COVID-19, couples who want an extravagant destination wedding but can't afford it or don't have

A wedding is perhaps the most important day for a couple. With changing times, the dynamics of weddings have been evolving too, with more and more couples preferring unconventional wedding destinations like beaches and foreign locations. Virtual world weddings are the latest trend in this space.

Metaverse marriage is the next big thing in the wedding space. Several people are using virtual platforms to host their marriages. The guests can attend these marriages by wearing3D avatars. It's a live event that can be attended by people from any part of the world.

Everything We Know About Bionicle 2015: Part One

We've reached a bit of a lull period, so I'm going to type out what we know about Bionicle 2015 very quickly. We got a lot of information, from the new location to the reboot clarification to a hint directed at the Kanohi Vahi (the Mask of Time).

All this information came from official Lego sources, Lego employees and people directly overseeing the franchise. They were all very gracious and very enthusiastic about the line. This is only what we have as of 4pm EST. We will make a new article if any new things are released come the VIP Event tonight. 

(Note: 2001-2010 is nicknamed by us as the Mataverse, we're also calling the new line the Nuvaverse. Not official names, just for better references).

Story:

It's a reboot

The story revolves around two Maskmakers, Ekimu and Makuta, who wear the Mask of Creation and the Mask of Control, respectively. Makuta decided to create the Mask of Ultimate Power, a Mask that controlled all of the elements, but in doing so cast him and his brother into a deep slumber.

Okoto is a new island that is reminiscent of Mata Nui but has mountain barriers that separate the element locations.

The "Protectors" are the main villagers of Okoto. However, the set Protectors are the elders of the villiage.

There are no Matoran or Turaga on Okoto.

The reboot was compared to the "Star Trek movies" reboot, where there is a connection to the old universe.

There is a Temple of Time on Okoto.

There are hints that the original Kanohi Vahi from the Mataverse is only half a mask. More hints were also given towards it being involved with time travel. It could possibly leave the original universe open to continuation and the other half being formed in the Nuvaverse.

Specialized terms have been dropped. Certain things have been dropped, certain things have been retained (such as Toa).

Bionicle will have several minute long animations that will be released on the website. They are 2D flash animations that were significantly inspired and based on the Mata Nui Online Game. They also bear a slight similarity to the Mixel animations.

The story will mostly be told in books in the later half of 2015. They are currently looking at writers (emphasis on the plural) for it. Comics/other media were not mentioned.

Masks are connected from the sides of the head. The new heads also have faces and noses. The masks are firmly attached but can be knocked off.

Sets are all made with alternate "modes" for the weapons. The designers called this "Adrenaline Mode".

It is planned for a three-year storyline, but that's general Lego planning. There's a good possibility that it might continue beyond that, but information isn't freely given out.

Here's what we theorize (gleaned from these answers, not official in the slightest):

Time Trap was also mentioned when discussing the Kanohi Vahi. There is probably some link between the Temple of Time and the second half of the Kanohi Vahi...possibly. Also Krakua?

Based upon the hints we received about the Kanohi Vahi and a "connection to the old universe," we theorize that the original Toa awaken without any memory and have forgotten that they are heroes.

There are no Kanohi powers mentioned in the bios, and the video mentions that Masks can only hold one element (and that the Mask of Ultimate Control was made to control them all). We think that means that Kanohi powers are not in the Nuvaverse and that the Toa use them to "master" their element.

We mentioned Mata Nui; we were given an acknowledgement but no further information on him in the Nuvaverse.

When asked about the Kanohi, we were told that there is something that the Golden Masks give the Toa that they need in order to win. That was the extent of it.

So there you have it. We'll give you more when we get it. Until then, stay tuned! Follow @thethreevirtues, @illustriousvar and @thejonathanjuan for immediate live tweeting and story bites!
