I really wonder about the kind of good ideas coupled with utter nonsense that's coming out of Japan. Something is deadly wrong over there, at least with the new generation. For example, this idea here, as a gimmick, succeeded as it got publicity for the makers of the robot. However, if this is going to be the norm in Japan, then we have a whole country turning into a weirdo museum worth visiting only to laugh at.
Almost everyone stood when the bride walked down the aisle in her white gown, but not the wedding conductor, because she was bolted to her chair.
The nuptials at this ceremony were led by "I-Fairy," a 4-foot (1.5-meter) tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic pigtails. Sunday's wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot, according to manufacturer Kokoro Co.
"Please lift the bride's veil," the robot said in a tinny voice, waving its arms in the air as the newlyweds kissed in front of about 50 guests.
The wedding took place at a restaurant in Hibiya Park in central Tokyo, where the I-Fairy wore a wreath of flowers and directed a rooftop ceremony. Wires led out from beneath it to a black curtain a few feet (meters) away, where a man crouched and clicked commands into a computer........
