If you haven’t been living under a rock, I’m sure you have heard about the Metaverse by now. The term has become a buzzword all around the world and companies like Meta (formerly Facebook) and Microsoft are trying to develop new products and experiences to further fuel the future of the Metaverse, which is a virtual environment where users can interact with each other using personalized, animated avatars. However, a couple in Tamil Nadu, India has decided to take the concept to the next level by announcing to hold their marriage in a Harry Potter-themed Metaverse.
A Project Associate in IIT Madras named Dinesh Kshatriyan recently took to Twitter to announce his marriage, which will take place in the metaverse. Both Kshatriyan and his fiancee Janaganandini Ramaswamy are huge Potterheads. So naturally, they are getting married in a Harry Potter-themed metaverse. We’d recommend the guests to avoid the dementors, if they find any, just to be on the safe side.
I feel so proud and blessed that I have seen and taken advantage of many great opportunities in this world before millions of people have seen them, Beginning of something big!

The current plan for the reception event in the metaverse, which is on February 6, is that the couple would log in to a link that will take them to the event venue, which is a virtual Hogwarts. Guests will have the option of choosing their avatars before joining the event. The choices for attire will range from Indian outfits to western clothes. They can be customized as per the guests’ needs.
