Quake Wedding

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the now-thats-a-PR-stunt dept.

Nom Anor writes "A couple from South America is going to celebrate their wedding today... on a Quake2 server! The bride and groom will say "I do" as the male and female grunt models inside a Quake 2 Battlegrounds server to be hosted by M-Web's Gamezone, a popular South African gaming work. The judge will preside over the ceremony through his computer in his Cape Town home. "

    Well... I haven't actually gone through this (but i've seen it done a thousand times...)

    The real issue is the marrige license (at least here in the US).
    That needs the signatures of all involved (judge/clergy, bride, groom, witnesses). Outside of that everything else is really just ceremony. If the bride & groom sign the marrige license, the witnesses sign it, and then something happens and the wedding itself doesnt happen, so long as someone files the license, it doesnt matter (in the eyes of the courts... in the eyes of your mother-in-law you had better have a ceremony :)
