This couple had been together with Minecraft. Now they have married within the video game itself
During the 16 years since the game’s departure, Minecraft players have done many things together. They have created homes in pixelated mountains, they have defended themselves against the disturbing Creepers that stalk at night, and have participated in elaborate tournaments to the hunger games. All those things unite, so it is perhaps so much surprise to discover that some friends online are taking their relationship further thanks to the game.
The Mojang game has recently been home to an atypical wedding. The couple have been two young people: the British, Jamie Patel25 years; and she American, Sara Nyugen24. When they were only 13 years old, they met among many other strangers in a multiplayer game with the aim of building a medieval tavern. That first meeting soon being the first of many. “We connected every day after class “, said Nyugen in statements for Wired.

Almost 8 thousand kilometers away and 14 hours of airplane, they had no choice but to make Minecraft their main meeting site throughout those years. For Nyugen it was much more than a game. “We were building worlds, stories, living within this universe that we had created”. At 18 they had a server only for them, and that was the place where Jamie last year declared.
The virtual wedding held last March had a lot of the spirit of the gamethey brought about 50 people between family and friends. The players participated in previous games with the aim of making the interactive evening, and one of the missions consisted of building the altar. The non -players joined the event through Twitch. The virtual event was also the trigger for the physical union of the couple, since according to Wired, they have now begun to live together in Portland.
A pixelated universe in which to fall in love
Although anyone can officiate a wedding in Minecraft only for fun, and in fact it is a type of content that is not strange to find in the community among the many Roleplays that can be done, it is more unique to find real couples who genuinely want to formalize their love within the universe. In 2021, the journalist Stephanie Decleene also told how her wedding had happened in Minecraft, within a world built by her partner’s children, who were only ten years old.
Out of digital bordersthe existence of Minecraft theme weddings is also a reality. In 2011 and with more than 360 thousand reproductions on YouTube, Matt’s proposition to Asia in the Minecon was sounded, especially because it was made in the presence of Markus ‘Notch’ Person, creator of the game. A year later his marriage was immortalized on the Internet. For the event they were looking for a mixture between “geek and elegant”, so while the wedding wardrobe was more or less conventional, the decoration of the entire place was reminiscent of the world created by Mojang.
It is a romantic spirit that is an integral part of the community. Players in the game Marketplace have designed wedding costumes and dresses for other players, and tutorials abound on how to build wedding enclosures within the game world, with details such as planting the flowers in flower or making artificial fires.
