The coronavirus is forcing everyone to cancel large gatherings, including weddings. But not to worry; hookup website AdultFriendFinder is encouraging couples to consider live streaming their ceremonies over the internet. 

On Friday, the dating site launched a new page dedicated to live streaming weddings in response to the pandemic. “If social distancing has put a damper on your special day, we can help,” the page says. “Stream your wedding on AdultFriendFinder and share your joy with family, friends, and a supportive community of members who can’t wait to wish you well.”

The goal is to help couples avoid postponing their dream wedding. “The coronavirus pandemic has been throwing weddings into chaos. While some have rescheduled to as far as 2022, others are still eager to get married as soon as possible in front of friends and family,” the dating website told PCMag. 

AdultFriendFinder is now offering interested couples the chance to stream their weddings over the platform in 4K or 1080p. You can do it on a public channel open to anyone, or you can stream the footage via a private, password-protected channel. “The service will be entirely free and couples can stream it via a regular webcam,” the dating website added. 

To us, the offer sounds more like a gimmick to capitalize on the coronavirus, which is presenting both challenges and marketing opportunities for companies. Nevertheless, it remains unclear when the pandemic will actually end. According to medical experts, it could take at least 18 months for health authorities to develop a vaccine. So there may be a growing need for live streaming weddings to help ensure friends and families won't miss out.

Indeed, other media outlets are already starting to report on couples who’ve had to downsize their ceremonies and opt for a more remote approach. One couple in Illinois recently did just that by holding a small wedding and streaming it over Facebook. 

“We had about 100 people online watching it live, all over the world; Germany, Belgium, really everywhere,” the groom Joe Stecher told CBS Chicago. “Full disclosure, they weren’t all invited to the wedding.”

My Experience

I've been a journalist for over 15 years. I got my start as a schools and cities reporter in Kansas City and joined PCMag in 2017, where I cover satellite internet services, cybersecurity, PC hardware, and more. I'm currently based in San Francisco, but previously spent over five years in China, covering the country's technology sector.

Since 2020, I've covered the launch and explosive growth of SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, writing 600+ stories on availability and feature launches, but also the regulatory battles over the expansion of satellite constellations, fights with rival providers like AST SpaceMobile and Amazon, and the effort to expand into satellite-based mobile service. I've combed through FCC filings for the latest news and driven to remote corners of California to test Starlink's cellular service.

I also cover cyber threats, from ransomware gangs to the emergence of AI-based malware. In 2024 and 2025, the FTC forced Avast to pay consumers $16.5 million for secretly harvesting and selling their personal information to third-party clients, as revealed in my joint investigation with Motherboard.

I also cover the PC graphics card market. Pandemic-era shortages led me to camp out in front of a Best Buy to get an RTX 3000. I'm now following how the AI-driven memory shortage is impacting the entire consumer electronics market. I'm always eager to learn more, so please jump in the comments with feedback and send me tips.

The Best Tech I've Had:

  • My first video game console: a Nintendo Famicom
  • I loved my Sega Saturn despite PlayStation's popularity.
  • The iPod Video I received as a gift in college
  • Xbox 360 FTW
  • The Galaxy Nexus was the first smartphone I was proud to own.
  • The PC desktop I built in 2013, which still works to this day.
