Japan has hosted the world's first wedding to be conducted by a robot.
The automated creature, known as the I-Fairy, oversaw the wedding of Tomohiro Shibata and Satoko Inoue in the capital, Tokyo.
The couple decided to use the robot as they are both connected with Japan's thriving robotics industry.
Since robots had brought them together in the first place, they said, having one officiate at their wedding was a natural choice.
During the ceremony, I-Fairy - which has flashing eyes and plastic pigtails - instructed the groom to lift the bride's veil for the kiss.
The wedding took part in a rooftop restaurant in the Japanese capital.

so it will be first couple devorced by robot...
why?
The marriage was overseen by the robot. So that must meen that there still was a human official to do the ceremony.
In that case I could say that my wife and me were married by a coffee-machine since that stood in the same room and made all kinds of coffee-machine-noises...
The Japanese are kind of weird. Sorry, guys, but you are!
