This 'blended reality' is prevalent in gaming / gaming culture and in Japan, Nintendo DS dating game 'Love Plus' has seen this taken to a new level:

A real world ceremony was held with a priest, an MC and a live audience. The ceremony was also publicly live streamed on popular Japanese streaming site Nico Nico Douga.
