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."

My wife and I are already legally married, but our ceremony isn't for a few months. We could be "married by" a parrot. Or an iPod. Or no one at all. Or, as is the case here, Dr. Sbaitso.

Marriage is for suckers, officiated by a computer or not.
What a peculiar generalisation. Tell me, do you and your girlfriend appreciate it when people make derogatory generalisations about your relationship? ;)
My GF has and I have no intention of getting married and we are doing just fine,
Good for you champ.
It's not necessary for children, nor happiness. Why bother?
Why not? Tax benefits of a legally binding marriage aside, some people genuinely enjoy celebrating their love for each other formally, in the presence of their friends and loved ones. I'm not sure why that's really so difficult to understand...
