A Wedding Vending Machine? – It’s A New Approach!

I love this story on the BBC News website today about the AutoWed Wedding Vending machine from a British company Concept Shed.  For £1 you get to get hitched quickly (not legally obviously), receive two plastic rings and a personalilsed certificate.  The machine prompts you for the type of union you require, straight, gay, lesbian or best friends for life and you have the choice to accept with ‘I do’ or to ‘escape’.  As one of the inventors said on Radio 4, it is a joke, but with more and more American influences hitting our shore, one day we could well turn our seaside resorts into mini Las Vegas’.
