Love is in the digital air, and it’s about to get historic. Toronto is throwing a one-of-a-kind wedding celebration this summer, and it’s not for humans (well, not exactly). On Sunday, August 10, the city’s Tamagotchi club will attempt to set a world record for the largest Tamagotchi wedding — and you’re invited to help make it happen.
Taking place at Cecil Community Centre (52 Cecil St), this free, all-ages event will celebrate all things gotchi love, as dozens (maybe hundreds?) of virtual pets tie the knot in a mass ceremony.
So, what exactly is a Tamagotchi wedding? Think of it as a mega marriage celebration — Tamagotchi-style. In-game, Tamagotchi devices can be connected to each other for friendships, and yes, even marriages. This event turns that mechanic into a real-life moment of collective geeky goodness.
Whether you bring your own Tamagotchi to get hitched or just want to celebrate the union of pixelated pets, the event promises joy, laughter, and maybe a little chaos — all in the name of gotchi love. And no, you don’t need a Tamagotchi to attend, but bringing one will let you participate in the world record attempt.
RSVPing is encouraged to secure a place at the ceremony. And a friendly reminder for all to come in their best wedding attire (yes, that includes for you and your Tamagotchi)!
Whether you’re a die-hard Tamagotchi collector, a millennial looking for a blast of nostalgia, or just want an excuse to wear wedding attire on a random Sunday, this event is the perfect mix of quirky and cute. Because in 2025, true love is digital.
P.S. They have their own hashtag…#GotchiWedding2025. This wedding means business!
