# What is blockchain marriage? **What is blockchain marriage?** A blockchain marriage is a permanent record of union between two digital identities, written into a smart contract on a public blockchain. Since February 14, 2023, NowYouCanSeeLove has been the first platform to offer this as an online service. **What gets recorded:** * Two digital identities (the partners) * Names, photographs, and date * The spoken vow * Two Vow Rings (NFTs) * A shared Digital Certificate (NFT) This record is stored on the Polygon blockchain — publicly verifiable, tamper-proof, and permanent. **What this means** The blockchain doesn't ask about legal recognition. It simply records: *these two digital identities entered a union at this moment in time*. This is a fact, not a contract. It creates no legal obligations. It requires no government approval. It cannot be forged. **Can it be changed or deleted?** No. This is the point. A moment that happened cannot be unhappened. The record preserves the fact that at a specific point in time, two people chose each other and wanted that choice anchored in permanence. Relationships may evolve. The record remains — not as a chain, but as a testament to what was true when it was true. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
