Computer Marries Texas Couple 142
cultiv8 writes "When Miguel Hanson and his fiancee, Diana Wesley, got married on Saturday, a computer program Hanson wrote served as the minister. During the wedding, held in the Houston home of Hanson's parents, the couple stood before a 30-inch monitor in the backyard. In a robotic voice, the computer greeted the guests, and told how the couple met."

Computer marriage is what's wrong with America and is leading to the very breakdown of social structure. Computer marriage, may appear harmless. But what happens when your kids have to see a guy walking down the street kissing his laptop? That's disgusting.
Pretty soon they'll want computers in the military ... and we all know how that movie ends.

This guy is either rich, or she has Asperger's. Else, how else could the conversation go?
He: "I got it! The perfect wedding! We get married by a computer!"
She: "Should we go with blue or white?"
He: "But, the computer would marry us!"
She: "Should we go with lacy, or silky?"
He: "The computer should run Linux!"
She: "I think I like lacy more than silky..."
He: "I could even have it running LISP!"
She: "You want to have a preacher with a lisp? What the HELL are you thinking!?"

Okay, I know it is scary for a nerd but still, you can't put the "ceremony" off forever. Sooner or later you ARE going to have to kiss the bride AND even face the wedding night. Just close your eyes and think of the GPL.
Married man walking!
