Have you been to a Second Life Wedding?

[Gopi Passiflora]

I have, in a Resident-owned social hub. It was okay, nothing home to write about. There was nice decor and the wedding itself was decently organized, although the nature of the social hubs made it susceptible to interruption from trolls. There was a pretty cool dance party afterward, too.

   I've been to a couple by now. 

   Shrugs. Not sure what else to add to that. Never got married myself.

   .. Of course, if I did, it would probably look like you'd got the wrong venue and accidentally showed up for a funeral. 

[Ayashe Ninetails]

Never. Early on, I was good friends with someone who designed wedding gowns and she got invited to someone's as a decorator/planner or something. She took me along to help set up and all I remember was tons of unbearable lag and rubber banding and people crashing all over the place (this was in...2006 or 2007 or so). I didn't stay long.

Last year or so, I was invited to one that seemed to happen quite randomly (literally a hey get over here I'm getting married IM). Didn't bother showing up and went back to my shopping.

The only wedding I've been to was in 2009.  Eh, nothing I'd want to do again.  I did go to a friend's reception recently.  That was kind of fun.  Skip the ceremony, hit the party.

[Coffee Pancake]

Been to quite a few, including my own !!

[kali Wylder]

I've been to a couple.  They can be fun.  I got engaged once but we never actually did the wedding thing. 

[Madelaine McMasters]

I've been to two SL weddings, as the officiant.

I've done that twice in RL, too.

At all four, I've managed to make people laugh, and make them cry.

One of these days, I'm gonna try for fear and anger.

[Bree Giffen]

I got married once in SL but we did not have a wedding celebration. It was a huge mistake. The marriage.

[Coffee Pancake]

Just chalk it up to practice for the next one

[Myntz Mysterious]

Never been to a wedding, that I recall. For that matter never been partnered either that I recall... 😄

[Lindal Kidd]

I've been to several. The most memorable was when I attended the wedding of my ex-partner to her new partner. I brought along my own two then-partners.

We just stood there silently, like three little Banquo's ghosts at the feast. I trust we made the happy couple less so.

[Phil Deakins]

I've been to two weddings. One a very long time ago and I was the best man - not because we were friends or anything along those lines, but because he didn't know any other male in SL. More recently I went to a friend's wedding, because I was invited and I didn't like to say no.

I never had a wedding, but I did have a partner at one time. It was very brief. I really wasn't ready to settle down - seriously, I wasn't.

[diamond Marchant]

I have been to several but none so grand as this one that opened the Fantasseria Community Center .  And unlike most SL weddings, this couple appears to still be together.

   If anyone needs one officiated - just let me know!

I'm betting the ceremony involves a blood pact?

   Of course it does. What. Is there another way?

[Scylla Rhiadra]

I've been to a few, although not for ages.

In fact, I used to officiate them fairly often. The most fun one was a vampire wedding.

[Tary Allen]

yes, 4 I think, at least one turned into an RL relantionship.

And another one was in Ancient Rome (togas everywhere).

[Jennifer Boyle]

I have hosted two at my house for friends who were getting married and attended a few others.

[Dragon Mommy]

I've been to ones at roleplay sims when characters were getting married. None for actual folks having a virtual wedding. 

[Persephone Emerald]

Yes. My RL housemate/landlady "married" her SL boyfriend. I was a bridesmaid and had to pick out a dress in the color she wanted. The wedding was lovely, but the marriage didn't last. She went to England to visit him and another friend there. He had excuses for why he couldn't see her, then told her when she got back that he was married in RL.   

[Coffee Pancake]

Oh that's just harsh, heart goes out to her

[Crim Mip]

I've been to several and DJ'd for a number of them. I don't buy expensive gifts because the divorce usually follows within 6 months. Most of the really long term relationships just partner each other without much fanfare.

Whoa wait...he let her travel all the way there without telling her that?! 😲

Yup. She also got sick on the trip because her doctor had prescribe medication that interacted with another she was taking, so she was pretty miserable the whole trip.

Needless to say, she unpartnered and blocked him after he told her.
