PHOENIX — The bride wore a hoodie or a dress, depending on where you were. The groom wore either a pink three-piece suit or a grey shirt and jeans.

The dog… looked the same no matter where you looked.

Ryan and Candice Hurley renewed their vows in person at a law office Friday afternoon to a crowd of about six. At the same time, their avatars renewed their vows in the metaverse to a crowd of about 3,000.

“What better way to expand our love to the metaverse and beyond the realms of the regular universe?” Ryan Hurley asked.
