Gamers fall in love while playing BGMI, get married in-game
What's the story
In an unconventional twist to regular love stories, a Meerut couple, Tanupreet and Jaspreet, discovered each other while playing Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI).
As their relationship progressed, Tanupreet and Jaspreet's bonding was reflected in BGMI's social aspects.
Their "synergy" grew with every game together and every in-game gift exchanged until they were awarded the "Lovers" tag.
This digital love story soon went beyond the online world as they started talking outside the game, meeting up, and finally decided to marry.
Love growth
Their love story transcended the digital realm
In a first, Krafton, the BGMI developers, celebrated their love story with a virtual wedding in the game.
The battlegrounds became wedding venues as Tanupreet and Jaspreet wore custom outfits created by Ritu Beri.
The three-day festivities began on April 8 with a Mehendi and continued with a high-energy Sangeet on April 9, which included a special virtual performance by renowned vocalist Benny Dayal.
