This 29-year-old man revealed the reason for presenting metaverse technology at his wedding. He wanted everyone he invited but couldn't attend in person to still be able to enjoy his wedding.
"So that guests can witness and enjoy the atmosphere or vibes of our wedding even though they are not present in person. Especially because of limited mobility during this pandemic," he said.
The man who is familiarly called Oscar explained that to attend a metaverse wedding, invited guests simply access the link that has been provided. After that the guests will be greeted with the strains of Javanese gamelan songs. Guests must also send a guest book to say hello and as a message to the bride and groom.
"After filling out the guest book, the guest enters the main room of the metaverse, is greeted by our avatar (the bride) complete with Javanese wedding dress with a 360 degree view. The names of the guests who attended / who have filled out the guest book also appear in our wedding metaverse, along with avatars of the other guests, so it's really like attending a wedding."

In addition to live streaming of wedding videos, various other interesting content is also presented in the form of icons on the right and left of the bride's avatar.
