Do you mean virtual, online weddings or weddings in real life?
I've attended one online ceremony here... Must be just about a year ago...
My only thoughts are further questions:
If you're online-married, is it a pre-requisite that you be real-life single?
Can you get online-anulled after you've cyber-consummated the marriage?
How lengthy is the online-divorce process?
Has anyone ever had online-kids? (if so, don't comment...actually, just forget I asked that)
Are there online honeymoons?
Those are all serious questions.
Okay, one more:
Is there online-marriage counseling?
I love LadyX's questions.
I am not one to have no opinion on most topics but would simply say that lush is supposed to be fun and without drama so if the online marriage can stay in the realm of lush and be non judgemental then go for it. I see many posts in forums where everything becomes confused and blended together so I can see many issues arising.

Lady X brings up some very interesting things about this topic.
I would hope that the people getting married are not really married in real life.
I would think if the real life wife found out she might be pretty ticked off or vice versa.

I think it is strange. As said above, you can form relationships and bonds, but come on...... nope, sorry, not for me at all.
It's funny that on a site that's supposed to be about sex and exploration and fun, some people still go to huge lengths to be as traditional and conservative as humanly possible. Somehow it still comes down to marriage and and commitment and monogamy and rules.
Having said that - it's really no different than any other kind of role-playing, so if holding a cyber-bouquet and having a make-believe ceremony really floats your boat, go for it. But please god - no angsty barrage of wailing divorce poems when your cyber-spouse hits the 'delete account' button one day.
I have been very curious about this subject. It took Jeremiah and I while to figure out that these were only online marriages. I asked the same questions as you Lady X and many more.. The whole idea is beyond my realm of thinking.
But that said, Jeremiah and I going on 10 months.. I think it took me 7 months to actually put in a relationship on my bio. Not because I wanted to hide it, but because I felt silly.. Then I realized it was an affirmation of the bond we share and it felt right.
Someone else may think what we do is beyond their realm of thinking.
So I guess my "vote" is.... whatever floats your boat, baby. If it makes you happy, who am I to judge.
Have you heard of the term "carney marriage"? That's what it reminds me of. A vague intention of staying kind of monogamous, for a while.
Out of interest how many of those six weddings are still in blissful online union? Most of the ones I end up hearing about turn quickly into car crashes.
