Wedding Bells

 

 

Charlee and I are now officially a couple here in Second Life.

Maybe it was the people who were already calling us "Mister and Mrs. Shuftan." In any event, Charlee and I decided to go ahead with our wedding. Originally it was going to be one with a number of people attending. But later on after some talk, we decided to "elope" and have a private ceremony.

 

The reception went on as scheduled, on Wednesday June 14 at the Happy Vixen at 7PM SL time. The reason for that particular time was so the lady who officiated the wedding could be there. There were a few people who didn't make it due to real life or tired from the recent Relay season. Still it was very much a fun party enjoyed by all, especially by Charlee and I.

For those who have given us their well wishes, thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts.

Wedding Bells

 

 

 On Thursday February 16, Chuul.King (ChuulKing Resident) and Sophitia.Queen (SophitiaEqui Resident) exchanged vows at a virtual wedding. While the Newser has covered weddings before, it's uncommon that the groom is a human and the bride is a furry.

 

Before the event, the groomsmen and bridesmaids were in separate rooms, but still able to talk to one another through extended chat. At one point, one of the girls showed the others a picture of the five of them she had taken, then "Oops, Chuul don't open that! (I) forgot the guys would see it too," her thinking of the tradition of the groom not seeing the bride on the day of the wedding before the ceremony. There were jokes about having Sophita casting kobol magic to make him forget the image. But Chuul responded, "No magic could make me forget you, Love."

The ceremony was conducted by Lance Horsley, "We are here today as the result of the love that Sophi and Chuul have found with each other and this ceremony is the joining together of their two hearts and souls in marriage. ,,, Is there anyone present here that knows of any reason why  Sophi and Chuul may not be joined together in marriage? No? Excellent. Then we will proceed ..."

Lance Horsley: Sophi do you take Chuul to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?
 

SophitiaEqui Resident: I do.
 

Lance Horsley: And Chuul do you take Sophi to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and in health, in good times and not so good times, for richer or poorer, keeping yourself unto him for as long as you both shall live?
 

Chuul.King (ChuulKing Resident): I do.

The pair then exchanged rings.

Lance Horsley: Before these witnesses, you have pledged your love and to be joined in marriage. You have now sealed this pledge with your wedding rings. By the authority vested in me, I now pronounce you Husband and Wife. ... Congratulations to you both. Chuul you may now kiss your bride! Ladies and Gentlemen, it is my great pleasure to present to you Mr King and Mrs Queen."

Following the ceremony was the reception, with dancing and dinner. And of course the throwing of the boquet, which was caught by Luna Sakurano (LunaSakurano Resident).

Chuul and Sophita can occasionally be found at Club Cutlass and the Happy Vixen. While Sophita has several avatars, she's best known for her kobold.

The latest "Love Made in Second Life" video, featuring Morgue McMillan and Brendan Shoreland, "Was it Madonna who once sand that music makes the people come together? Well, in the case of Morgue and Brendan, it was music and Second Life that crossed their paths! Having met in Second Life in Spring 2011, the two quickly made plans to bring their offline lives together by the following summer (watch their airport 'meet-cute' recreated in Second Life in the video)

"Morgue was involved with the poetry scene, and Brendan was playing live music across the Grid - so it was fate that the two should come together. Their initial spark began when a poem that Morgue had written caught the attention of Brendan’s music manager, who knew these two could make beautiful music together."

"I May Be Done" The Husband of A Warcraft Couple Talks about His Wife's Passing

We often think of computer gamers as immature loners, and when they do find someone and get married, what comes to mind is the game being a source of friction between a computer-free wife and game-addicted husband. But there are couples whom happily game together. Recently however, one such gamer has had to deal with the grief and lost as his wife, whom played "World of Warcraft" with him for years, had passed away. Feeling some of her friends would wonder why she was gone, he posted his feelings on the Blizzard forums. He didn't expect the outpouring of sympathy that followed.

Wedding Bells

Tuesday March 1 marked the wedding of a longtime resident, and friend of mine with her partner. At 10 AM SL time, a ceremony with a gothic theme began, uniting Meli Hotshot with her love Rick Darksoul (latexlover070). Following the exchange of vows and the kiss, there was a reception afterwards, with music and dance.

I ran into Meli through Muertos Ashborne, whom I had met through friends at the old STA before it closed down. In the days following the close of my favorite spot in Second Life, they helped cheer me and others up. While our paths took us different places, Meli taking a break from the Grid, eventually she returned, and we began talking to one another again. She soon ran into Rick, and the two fell in love.

May the new couple find joy and happiness.

Congratulations to the happy couple.
