Seems this one is one of the most unusual usages of the blockchain so far :)

I just hope they did not put any money into the smart contract: they might end up losing everything like The DAO.
Very eccentric use case to say the least.

I wonder if they put a rule like : "if he/she leaves me, kill him/her"
 ;D

They did have a "traditional" wedding afterwards tough... But I came across this one a while ago and decided to bookmark it, in case i ever needed a funny blockchain anecdote :)

A friend of mine who passed away a while back was memorialized in the blockchain.
Here's an article about it:

I believe there are also some hreads about it o this forum, I think by Dan Kaminsky, but not 100% sure on that...
