Who says love only blooms over coffee dates or long walks? Tanupreet and Jaspreet were just two gamers from Meerut, casually teaming up in Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI). One random match led to another, then another… until they were playing together every day. In between loot drops and revives, something clicked. They weren’t just gaming buddies anymore, they were falling for each other.

As their connection grew, BGMI's social features began to reflect it. The “Synergy” between them increased every time they played together or exchanged gifts in-game. One day, their profiles even showed a heart, they had unlocked the “Lovers” tag. But this wasn’t just a game crush. They started chatting outside the app, met in real life, and eventually decided to get married.

And here’s where things got crazy. Krafton, the makers of BGMI, decided to celebrate their love story with something the internet had never seen before–a full-blown wedding inside the game. Yes, a real digital shaadi, complete with mehendi, sangeet, and the big day. The battlegrounds were turned into wedding venues. The couple wore custom outfits designed by Ritu Beri. There was even a virtual performance by singer Benny Dayal. It was colourful, emotional, and exactly like a real wedding.

The wedding video, which dropped on April 11 on BGMI’s Instagram, showed everything — from how they met in the game to the emotional wedding moment with their virtual squad by their side. It was funny, sweet, and surprisingly heartwarming.
