If all humans can now get married — at least in the United States — why not robots? I should know about robot weddings. Five years ago, while I was working as StarWars.com’s editor, I married R2-D2 at a “Star Wars” convention following a crazy, whirlwind romance.
It’s not easy being married to an astromech when you’re human, especially when he’s always off in a galaxy far, far away with one of those Skywalker guys causing trouble. But we make it work. We have an open-source marriage, so R2-D2 can see other droids, and I can see other humans.
This, however, is the first time we’ve seen two robots get hitched. At the unusual ceremony, 100 people attended what’s believed to be the world’s first robot wedding in Tokyo last week.
The robot groom, Frois, was made by sibling duo Maywa Denki. His humanoid robot bride Yukirin — who happens to be modeled after pop star Yuki Kashiwagi — was created by university student Takayuki Todo.
