| Subject: LOL, Couple Make History with World’s First Bitcoin Wedding, Exchange Digital Vows "Because the Blockchain is Forever" Tue Oct 07, 2014 10:44 pm | |
| A new virtual era has arrived in the United States. The first “blockchain wedding” was held on Sunday, August 5, during a bitcoin conference at Disney World in Orlando, Florida. The marriage was performed and registered without the involvement of any government or religious organization, and instead submitted to an online public registry: the bitcoin blockchain.
The blockchain is a decentralized, secure database that allows transactions to be seen by other users. This technology allows users to send digital currency like bitcoin, or specific documents and messages that are incorporated into the database. The blockchain offers complete transparency over all user transactions.
David Mondrus and Joyce Bayo, who had already been married in a civil ceremony, made history by submitting their nuptials to the blockchain. The wedding was broadcast live via the libertarian social media network Liberty.me, whose founder and director, Jeffrey Tucker, presided over the ceremony.
“For better or worse, ’til death do us part, because the blockchain is forever,” read the couple’s message recorded to the blockchain. The groom told Tucker in an interview that he considers marriage more of a promise than a contract.
