Future Wife is an interactive play with everything: goats, aliens, and spreadsheets

The Verge: The pandemic has led to a collection of unusual digital experiences, from Google Forms escape rooms to whole virtual, two-dimensional comedy shows. But the interactive digital play / upstate barn wedding I attended last Friday, Future Wife: Party in a Spreadsheet, takes things to a strange new level.

Okay I have to admit I was skeptical when I read the title of this article but after reading, I absolutely love this. As managers, we spend a lot of time making spreadsheets and spend a lot of time making sure they have all the necessary information and that they're easy to read, so on and so forth. Even though many managers enjoy creating spreadsheets (such as myself), I think it's fabulous that someone made a completely fun way to host a virtual wedding party inside of a google sheet. This takes all of the pressure of making something "look just right" or trying to figure out that one specific formula and it just introduces a fun atmosphere to Google sheets. I'm sure many of the attendees might have even learned something new about Google Sheets that they didn't know about before and will be able to use in their daily work and/or personal life.
