How To Make A Wedding Even More Awkward: A Robot
Here’s a romantic story…
A Japanese robotics professor falls for a beautiful female employee of Kokoro (Sanrio’s humanoid robot division). They tumble deeply in love, and are married at a beautiful ceremony, surrounded by family and friends. The sacred, romantic service is officiated by none other than their close friend… a humanoid robot with the world’s cutest voice.
And no, it wasn’t Ann Curry:
Robot. Wedding. Robot. Wedding.

OMG! I so want one!!! Of course, you’re talking about the same nerd who bought Transformers Underwear. And no it doesn’t make that transforming noise when I put it on or take it off.
This robot with that voice is destined for a horror movie. It has to be.
Is it more possible to have something more awkward at this wedding than the robot? With their first kiss I think it might be possible.
Finally! Something that makes my dream of being married by Hello Kitty look normal in comparison.
Hey they wanted something different
Leave it to the Japanese to come up with the weirdest stuff!!!
