We're not sure whether to laugh, cry, or sign up for an Old Glory insurance plan, but apparently it's now possible to be legally wed by a robot, at least in Tokyo.
The couple in question are both connected with Japan's robotics industry, and now they're legally connected to each other, all thanks to an automated preacher known as I-Fairy.
According to BBC News, I-Fairy, with its flashing eyes and plastic pigtails, instructed the groom to lift the bride's veil for the customary kiss after the two tied the knot. C-3PO was no where be found, nor was Robby, Cylon, or any of these other notable robots.
