Summary

We're going into a galaxy far away to experience the ultimate commitment – the very first legal marriage in the Metaverse! We're chatting with long-standing guest Sheel and his now-wife Amruta about their Taco Bell Metaverse Wedding that got written up by People Magazine (yup, you heard that right). We're discussing how a metaverse wedding even works, what happens when two people aren't always on the same page regarding that next level of commitment, and how weddings are being reimagined in 2023.
