Millions of people spent time during the quarantine with Animal Crossing: New Horizons. It’s a great way to experience a little bit of normalcy and meet friends and family virtually. Apparently, it is also a great way to promote a relationship.
Steven Brown picked up a Switch and Animal Crossing: New Horizons at the beginning of the pandemic in order to get his mind off things and relax a little. He got caught up in the game, which prompted him to post to a Facebook group with other fans. Brown had accumulated a ton of bells and wanted to share it with some virtual friends. A stranger in the Facebook group decided to accept the offer, so they virtually met for the exchange.
Instead of passing the bells and ending the day, the stranger Brown met took him on a tour of his island. This led to a friendship that only grew over the months. The two continued to meet in the game and by text, which ended up paving the way for a more serial relationship. The two became so close that they ended up meeting in person, and obviously it went very well!
The two are now engaged to be married, all thanks to their mutual love for Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Now the question is … will the wedding be in person or at Animal Crossing ?!
