Taco Bell announced a new campaign that will award one lucky couple the ability to get married at a Taco Bell Wedding in the metaverse. This wedding will take place this fall, though a winner will be selected near the beginning of September 2022.
In order to win, couples must submit a video application through Tik Tok, Twitter, or Instagram, while using the hashtag "#TacoBellMetaverseWeddingContest." The winning party will be given access to Taco Bell's exclusive lounge in Decentraland where the party will be hosted. According to Taco Bell, the attendees will still be selected at the discretion of the winning couple, allowing for all friends and family to participate, similarly to a regular wedding. However, some representatives from Taco Bell will also attend. Friends and family who are invited will receive their invitations in the form of a collectible NFT.
In addition to getting married in the metaverse, the winning couple will receive gift boxes from Taco Bell, including swag, gift cards, and other collectibles.
