Queenie Moriarty, Marriage Maestra

 

So many people have jobs in SL, jazz musicians, artists, 3D builders, creators of virtual goods such as jewellery, clothing and shoes. It takes a special talent to design these amazing objects, a talent which I lack.

Instead of trying to keep up with these designers and builders, I use the skills which I already have - creating ceremonies and public speaking.

So I have the very best job possible in Second Life and I'm in constant contact with happy people.

Happiness is contagious.

Second Life 

Second Life (abbreviated as SL), the MMORPG 3D interactive virtual reality programme now has over one and half million members (residents).

Many of these residents enjoy the Ceremonies I create for them .. and I now have almost 700 wedding ceremonies under my belt.

Second Life is not a Game 

If this sounds a little crazy, let me assure you that is is.

I actually make a modest income from creating a memorable wedding ceremony in a virtual world.

People are very serious about their existence in-world, they invest a lot of time (and often a lot of money) in their personal virtual representations. They don't have just 'avatars' wandering about, they have an extension of their own self interacting with other very real people.

It's not a game. Second Life is only Real Life with a digital interface.

Pastor Q 


A lot of people take the opportunity to dress up for weddings in a way that they can never do in real life (RL).

I've come across a lot of women who just love to dress up. It's a little like playing with dolls, all those absolutely fabulous frocks, and what's the loveliest of outfits that any woman can wear? A gorgeous Wedding Gown of course.

Let me tell you, all brides are beautiful, in any world, virtual or otherwise.

Who gets married in SL?

I've created wedding ceremonies for people who are actually are married in RL, and the online celebration is the icing on the (wedding) cake.

Then there are the couples separated by work commitments or military service and have to live in different parts of the world. Second Life is a place that they can talk to each other - after all it's just an enhanced chat programme - and a wedding ceremony in SL is right up their alley.

Of course, there are the people who actually meet online. I officiated recently at a Renewal ceremony of a couple I married a year ago. They had met online, and discovered much in common.

Lasting friendships are made in SL and Love can be found in all sorts of places.

Even my cat loves Second Life! 

In Second Life, as in Real Life, I enjoy the company of my little black cat.

This virtual moggy is Boris, a wonderful bundle of organic scripting and reminiscent of my blogging cat, Vladimir who has his own lens on Squidoo at Vladimir, the Cultured Cat.

My Virtual Cathedral, Ave Stella Maris. 

There's room in any world for an old fashioned Church Wedding.

My beautiful cathedral, Stella Maris, won a prestigious award for best church build in SL.

As you can gather from the name, the cathedral overlooks the ocean.
