Some believe you make your own luck, others hold fast to age-old traditions and superstitions. We’re not here to judge. In fact, many cultures swear by certain dates…
In China, large gatherings including weddings remain suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic. Some couples are no longer willing to wait for the resumption of normal activities to follow through with their nuptials. One Chinese netizen couple, decided to get married in an online game called Final Fantasy.
The couple, who go by web names Jigen and Nora, planned their wedding for May 17. It should have been at a hotel in Shanghai. However, due to the COVID-19 complications, they decided that they would cancel the ceremony.
While their original plans were forced to be called off, they quickly decided on a new plan. They would get married on an online game called Final Fantasy.
“The idea of having a wedding as an online game was not sudden. We are crazy about games and many close friends also play games together, so after thinking for a while, we decided to celebrate our wedding online,” Jigen told Global Times.
On May 17, the online wedding commenced. They invited over 30 of their friends to attend and the entire thing was livestreamed using a Chinese broadcasting platform for those who were not account holders in the game.
Those attending the wedding were required to arrive at the cathedral in a timely manner. To ensure this happened, the couple assisted their guests in beating online enemies and took them to the cathedral in the game. Jigen joked that the real meaning of friendship is when people “risk their lives” to attend your wedding.
Once everyone had virtually arrived and the special moment came, the couple exchanged rings in front of their computers and played the ceremony out in the game.
“After spending two weeks preparing the wedding in the game, including buying costumes for game characters, my wife and I wore our pajamas sitting in front of two computers in the study, and she did not even have any makeup on during the whole ceremony,” Jigen told the Global Times.
The pair have no intentions of having a “real” wedding in the future. Jigen told Global Times that a wedding simply symbolises a new beginning, and to him the Final Fantasy wedding did just that.

The ring bearer is possibly one of the most adorable wedding traditions in existence. A young boy in a fitted suit carries the wedding rings down the aisle and hands them to the couple getting married at the altar.
Since these precious rings are not to be lost, the ring bearer often carries symbolic rings rather than the real wedding bands. This is common practice in today’s rendition of the ring bearers duties as they are often little boys under the age of 10.

While it is a much-loved tradition at weddings, the history of this practice is quite difficult to pinpoint. There are a few different theories about where this tradition comes from.
Most commonly, people believe that the practice has its roots in ancient Egypt where valuable jewels were carried on ornamental pillows during wedding ceremonies. According to Black n Bianco, it was adults who carried the rings down the aisle, rather than little children.
Others believe that the ring bearer stems from the Medieval times. During this period, Northern Europeans would present a ring to a bride on the tip of a sword, according to Saphire Events Group. A page boy would carry the bride’s train down the aisle, while holding a Bible. From here, the tradition developed.
Since pillows were reportedly a symbol of wealth at the time, some families replaced the sword with a pillow and the page boy was given the responsibility of carrying it down the aisle.

In the Victorian Era, the tradition became even more popular. Little boys in possession of the ring would wear suits with velvet jackets, short trousers and round linen collars, according to Black n Bianco.
Today, the tiny “ring security guards” often sport suits which are similar to that of the groomsmen. Many couples have even enlisted the help of their pets for ring bearing purposes.
