A wedding ceremony in Warframe was streamed live and supported by Twitch, Microsoft, and developer Digital Extremes.
Nuptia
When a couple’s passion for a video game goes so far that they contact the developer to request permission to hold a ceremony to enter into the eternal bond of marriage, it can lead to a celebration or two. This has already happened in WoW.
Now, on Monday, October 17, Warframe saw its very first in-game ceremony called “Nuptia”, which represents the eternal bond of two Tenno. The entire spectacle was live-streamed during the weekly Xbox One Warframe stream on Twitch and YouTube.
Under the eyes of the community manager and “Space Mom” Lotus, Rebecca Ford herself, the ritual was initiated and performed in a specially set up clan dojo. The two players Niti and Eli from the Midgard clan exchanged vows in the presence of their friends and family. Even the groom’s grandmother was present via live stream.
The couple approached Warframe developer Digital Extremes 14 months ago with the idea and request for an in-game ceremony to express their mutual love. Over time, they got to know each other better, began planning, and ultimately fulfilled their great wish.
As the two players, who also said “I do” in real life, are playing in the Xbox version of the cooperative space shooter, Microsoft gifted them an Xbox One S to celebrate the day, Twitch added some merchandise goodies, and Digital Extremes gifted the couple among other things two exclusive Warframe statues and a 3D print of their in-game characters that adorned the wedding cake.
The honeymoon, by the way, is not going to Canada, the home of the developers, but to Disneyland.
