For the first time, singles from around the world can experience dating in the virtual world through Dating.com, where distance is no boundary to finding a match.

Dating in virtual reality via avatars allows people to create connections without any of the materialistic, superficial factors or judgments that they might make or be subjected to in the external, physical world.

Singles can build relationships focused on personality, shared values, and common interests, without any fear of wasting time and money on in-person dates. 

Dating.com will host the wedding of the year in which three real, intercontinental couples that captured each other’s hearts on the platform will be virtually married in the metaverse.

Digital transformation

While these individuals are located in various countries – and even continents – around the world, the couples will be united in blockchain matrimony at this unique event, and they will get NFT certificates of their marriage. 

Each couples’ friends and family as well as an officiant will be present at the metaverse ceremonies. Guests will be asked to follow a formal dress code.
