WorldsAway, the virtual online world available exclusively through CompuServe, began celebrating a month of romance throughout February Wednesday with a real-life virtual wedding on Valentine's Day afternoon. For the first time in WorldsAway, a real-life bride and groom--Victoria Vaughn and groom Joseph Perling--exchanged marriage vows in the WorldsAway virtual chapel via their onscreen personas, known as "avatars."
