The bride’s late father’s avatar will preside over the wedding reception.

Bride Jaganandhini Ramaswamy is equally excited for her virtual event, saying that because the couple met on Instagram, having a wedding reception in Metaverse seemed fitting.
To put his reception ideas into reality, the groom contacted Vignesh Selvaraj of Quatics Tech; specializing in online and mobile app development.
