Finally cleared my laptop after virusgate. And as soon as I got onto the web again guess what I found?
Autowed! It's an automated marraige vending machine designed by British designers
Concept Shed AutoWed is a novelty wedding machine offering a quick hitch, a couple of
rings and a personalised (although unofficial) certificate for just £1/$1. Motion sensors are used to call out to passers-by to come and get
hitched. Once you insert your money, it plays a specially composed almost 8-bit intro
version of the wedding march and asks you to select your union type;
“Press one for straight, two for gay, three for lesbian or four for
B.F.F.” You both enter your names on the machined metal keyboard
and AutoWed asks if you take each other as lawful wedded partners and
to press one for ‘I do’ or press two to ‘Escape’. It then takes you
through the rest of your ceremony and vends two plastic eggs with rings
in and prints out your personalised wedding receipt from a thermal
printer. It finishes by offering you a 10% discount for AutoDivorce with
your receipt. I just think it's a rather cute idea and just a bit of fun really.
