IKEA To Launch Wedding Service

IKEA has announced it is to launch its own wedding service.

The company, which is best known for selling furniture, is understood to be offering the ceremonies under its new virtual service, Wedding Online.

The service allows couples to marry via a process similar to a mass group Skype, while guests from across the world can watch the wedding take place. Those couples wishing to use the service are said to need a Facebook account and a working webcam; once they log in, they can then set a virtual date for their big day and invite their Facebook contacts they would like to 'attend' the ceremony. There are also a range of different ceremonies for couples to choose from, from the traditional wedding ceremony to a bohemian setting or even a fairytale wedding.

According to a report by the MailOnline, once a husband and wife-to-be select their wedding date, they are given a six-hour session which is live streamed to their guests for them to see. Each of the guests uses their webcam to view the wedding, with their faces appearing on virtual bodies sitting in the guest area.

On its website, IKEA is understood to have stressed that the online service can be used as a way of spending time with loved ones who are living far away. The ceremony can be made legally-binding, however, if the couple, an officiator, and two witnesses are all in the same room, with the appropriate paperwork also filled out.
