It’s not that weird, having a completely cyber wedding. That’s the thing about weddings…it’s entirely up to a person’s tastes. JOINT tastes, in this case, because I care what my future husband thinks about my special day. And I don’t care what anyone else thinks about what we ourselves think, because it’s not their day. I know, tradition should play a part, I get all the remarks from my relatives…maybe they’re just jealous.
Anyway, we’re having a cyber-wedding. I’m doing an app design course, he’s doing a web design course, together we’re the perfect techno couple, so why not? Everything will be online, from the ceremony to the reception, all the way to our vows. Anyone can tune in, so it’s instantly solved the problem of what to do about invitations. We’ve invited anyone who’d like to come; all they need is a password. The only real non-cyber part of the whole affair is how me and him will be in the same room, because we thought we’d at least do that much. You should see my dress: it’s wedding-style but in cyber green and decorated with circuits. His suit is the same, but themed red. The webcam photos will be amazing!
We’ve even put our degrees to good use, with him web designing us a website for people to tune in on our special day, order us gifts through the registry and generally leaving comments below the live video feed. Meanwhile, I’ve used my app design to whip up a fun little application that people can download before the ceremony. It’s called ‘Bouquet Toss’, and it involves on game-master (that’ll be me) virtually throwing a bouquet. Anyone who wants to play can then log into one massive game where they can equip weapons and use magic to defeat all the other players in the game zone to win the prize of the bouquet…but the game-master can throw in all kinds of surprises. And my parents said that I should find some nice, safe software development course around Melbourne. Once they see how much fun we’re all having, and how much we’re saving on catering, they’ll know I’m right.
