As Metaverse incorporates the technology of blockchain into it, Dinesh S P decided to have a reception in Metaverse.
Bride Jaganandhini Ramaswamy is equally enthusiastic for her virtual reception and said that since the duo met on Instagram, it was apt in a way to have a wedding reception on Metaverse.
In order to bring his reception plans into action, the groom approached Vignesh Selvaraj of Quatics Tech, who specialises in web and mobile app development.
The decision to hold the reception in a Harry Potter universe was made because both the bride and the groom are Potterheads. While the duo has chosen to don their avatars in traditional clothes, their guests can choose their respective avatars at the time of login.
Meanwhile, the couple will also be accepting gifts on their reception such as vouchers, cryptos and wedding guests can also transfer them money through Google Pay.
