An Unprecedented Wedding!...

Yet despite so many players getting married, there had never been a case like today's, where a wedding ceremony was held specifically for the marriage!

For one thing, holding a wedding ceremony in SAO was undoubtedly extremely expensive, and money in SAO was practically tied to one's life. Equipment, items, and everything else required money; without them, players simply could not survive. From a practical standpoint, naturally no one was willing to hold a wedding ceremony just to announce their marriage. After all, the cost was already beyond the means of ordinary players—and even top-tier players.

For another, this was still a game world in the end. Once the game was fully cleared and everyone returned to the real world, everything that had happened here might very well become nothing but a passing cloud. With that concern in mind, no one would spend a huge sum of money on a marriage within the game.

Because of those two factors, no loving couple in SAO had ever held a wedding ceremony when getting married. At most, they would invite their closest friends to celebrate at an inn. That was already the absolute limit; as for a wedding ceremony, they had never even considered it.

One could imagine just how many people today's wedding ceremony had stunned, and how many had envied it openly or secretly. Because of that, countless players flocked over to witness this unprecedented wedding in this world, hoping to broaden their horizons or leave behind a beautiful memory...
