The average American wedding costs $24,000. Here in Ireland it’s much, much more, but now there is a much easier and cheaper way to get hitched. Press one for straight. Press two for gay. Press three for Lesbian or Press four for Best Friends Forever. And the total cost to say “I do” is $1. Here’s the Spiel for the Auto Wed Vending machine…
“AutoWed is precisely what it appears to be: a vending machine that performs instant marriages, infusing the Big Day with all the romance of a fire hydrant. Insert money, and it’ll mumble through your basic wedding rites (press one for “I do” or press two to “escape”). Then the 8-foot-tall gadget, which designers UK-based Concept Shed describe as “part parking meter, part Cadillac and part cathedral with a little steam punk thrown in,” spits out a pair of plastic eggs with rings inside and a personalized wedding receipt. It finishes up by offering a 10% discount on AutoDivorce.”
Is this the “Christian” version? is that an image of the Sacred Heart at the top? – I’m a sucker for a well designed Vending Machine!
