A Couple Got Married After Meeting on Mafia Wars

You know Mafia Wars? The Facebook app that you blocked like a year ago when it started clogging up your newsfeed? Well, it turns out that the app does more than help people live out their fantasies of murdering each other – it sometimes helps people find love. John Sweeney and Joanne Doane met each other online while playing Mafia Wars and are now married. Games.com has an interview with the newlyweds:

Aside from your mob-themed cake, what other elements of Mafia Wars made their way into the ceremony?

We gave everyone toy water guns and knives and everyone had fun attacking each other. They even attacked the bad karaoke singers as that was the going. All in all, good clean fun.

 

Now that the two of you are finally together and made your “Mafia Wars Love Connection” complete, how have your playing habits changed? 
They haven’t changed one bit. We are still doing the same thing we always did only now we do it as husband and wife.

 

How do you manage running your own Mafia Wars clan, Mafia Wars True Alliance, together?
We seem to find a good balance as we each take responsibility and realize it it not just about us, but it is about the thousands of members and making sure they have fun and are safe. Over all we have a good staff and everyone works well together and our almost 8000 members seems to be happy as well as our allies so we must be doing something right.
