Summary
- Couples have bonded over Pokemon, with one pair tying the knot at Pokemon GO Fest.
- Pokemon GO brought together a couple who have traveled the world capturing Pokemon.
- Pokemon GO Fest might add a formal wedding opportunity for happy couples in the future.
A duo who enjoy playing Pokémon GO as a team recently got married at the Pokémon GO Fest, having received an invitation from the game developers themselves. This is just another example of how the world of Pokémon – and in this case, Pokémon GO – fosters romantic relationships.
It turns out that the world of Pokemon and romantic relationships have more connections than one might initially think. From offering engagement rings in Poke Balls, creating custom Pokemon Trading Card Game wedding invitations, to integrating Pokemon into various aspects of their celebrations, many couples have found unique ways to express their love for each other. However, Pokemon-themed weddings are a less common occurrence.
At the Pokemon GO Fest stop in Jersey City, a pair who found each other while playing Pokemon GO tied the knot. It’s said that they’ve journeyed across the globe together, catching over 600,000 Pokemon between them. Their shared passion for Pokemon GO and the franchise as a whole caught the attention of the Pokemon GO team, who extended an invitation for them to fly out to the Pokemon GO Fest venue to exchange their vows there. Since attendees at the event were already given engagement opportunities, it was only fitting to include a real-life wedding ceremony as well.
The Pokemon GO Couple That Plays Together, Stays Together
During an interview with ABC News, they shared some insights into their unique love story. Living in Canada, Sandra posted on a local forum that she was seeking to trade for a Corsola. This led her to connect with a local firefighter named Les Dorgo. Les proposed turning the trade into a date, and they found themselves smitten. Their Pokemon GO Fest wedding incorporated some fun Pokemon-inspired elements, such as Sandra walking down the aisle to a piano version of the original Pokemon tune, and a Pikachu mascot was present to join in the celebration. The most adorable detail might be their wedding cake, which showcased Chansey and Squirtle. Chansey, symbolizing the bride, wore her traditional nurse’s cap, while Squirtle, possibly representing a firefighting squad, donned a firefighter’s hat.
Participating in Pokémon GO Fest has been a special experience for many players, leading Pokémon GO to officially make it a regular event starting from 2025. It’s possible that the festival could offer an official chance for couples who are passionate about Pokémon to get married at the event in the future, creating more joyous memories.
