Nintendo's Animal Crossing: New Horizons has definitely been the game of the moment and in light of recent rules about physical distancing, the game has become a place where users celebrate important life milestones—a New York City couple, for example, had their virtual wedding in the game.
Although Sharmin Asha and Nazmul Ahmed had to cancel the real event due to COVID-19, they still gathered with five of their closest friends in Animal Crossing for a virtual beachside wedding on March 22nd. The custom-friendly interface of the game made it possible for the couple to tailor the virtual wedding to their exact specifications—from a personalized suit for the groom and a carpet runner embroidered with the couple's initials to a beach lined with tiki torches and potted flowers.
