Married In Cyberspace!

Most brides have a tick-list of special things to wear on their wedding day, but not me.

As I stood with my fiance Martin, 44, I’m sure it was a world first as I donned my virtual-reality headset! 

Well, at least it was white…

Virtual reality (VR for short) is where you use a special headset to immerse yourself in computer-generated worlds – real or imaginary – and interact with features within them as if you’re actually there.

For me, though, it was going to be the basis of my wedding!

I met Martin in June last year through a mutual friend.

‘You’ll get on so well!’ she said, convincing us both to come to a dinner party at hers. 

She was absolutely right.
