Trion Worlds' Guinness World Record Attempt Went Off Without A Hitch

Or, more accurately, with 21,879 hitches.

Regardless of how we felt about it before, we definitely believe in the sanctity of marriage now that Trion Worlds has broken the Guinness world record for the number of in-game weddings in one day. Valentine's Day might have been full of flowers and fancy meals for you, but Rift players were taking vows in front of their keyboards—21,879 times.

“Establishing this record was a monumental achievement for our development team and community of passionate players, and I couldn’t be more proud,” Executive Producer Scott Hartsman said in a press release. The record will be considered for Guinness's 2013 Gamer's Edition.

Now that you've seen what the Rift community is capable of, are you going to upgrade your Rift Lite account and keep playing? What's your prediction for the number of in-game divorces in the next six months? Think they can set that record too? Let us know in the comments or on Twitter.
