Skype is for lovers.
Ask Rafael Nunez Sá Freire, 26, an adman in Shanghai, China, and Sara Stultz, 26, a graphics design student in Nice, France.
The couple were married in a civil ceremony in Brazil via a Skype video call.
Sara and Rafael met as teens in Brazil and kept up over the years as they moved around the globe.
As to the ceremony. “We saw everything and we saw parents and godparents sign the certificate. It was very exciting and funny at the same time,” Rafael told FOLHA Online.
The judge had performed weddings via proxy before—but said the Skype wedding was a first.
The couple plans a religious ceremony later in Brazil. Maybe they could have their friends in France and China attend via a Skype video call?
Anyone in the US have a similar tale? Wy not share it?
