Bride And Groom Exchange NFT Rings During Wedding
NDTV
The couple has named the virtual ring or NFT "Tabaat"
These days couples go to any extent to make their wedding memorable and stand out from the rest. One couple from California added a truly unique element while getting married - the duo exchanged virtual rings on their smartphones. The couple - both employees of the cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase - gave each other NFTs or non-fungible tokens as virtual rings to start their married life. Their wedding picture on Twitter shows Rebecca Rose and Peter Kacherginsky at the altar with their respective smartphones, exchanging the rings, though not traditionally. In the tweet, Rebecca proudly proclaims that they "got married on the #blockchain." Most people get married in a place of religious worship, on a beach, or in the mountains. Peter (@_iphelix) and I are NOT most people. We got married on the #blockchain. 1/7 pic.twitter.com/2ExexrlLbZ In addition to a traditional Jewish ceremony, we wanted to solidify our vows in a more personal way. Since we both work at @Coinbase, @_iphelix wrote an @Ethereum smart contract for our marriage that issued digital artwork as tokens (#NFTs) to our cryptocurrency wallets. 2/7 pic.twitter.com/uYB8MXGlgn The #blockchain, unlike physical objects, is forever. It is unstoppable, impossible to censor, and does not require anyone's permission. Just as love should be. What could possibly be more romantic than that? 7/7 pic.twitter.com/P0XC5uLjor The couple has named the virtual ring or NFT "Tabaat", which is a Hebrew word for "ring." If you look up online for "Tabaat", you will see two tokens have been minted, and there is no provision to mint anymore. Alongside their traditional Jewish ceremony, Rebecca, in a Twitter thread about the wedding, said that they wanted to solidify their "vows in a more personal way".More Related News
