Robot weds couple


I-Fairy robot tells couple to say I-do:
The four-foot high I-Fairy, complete with flashing eyes and pigtails, conducted the ceremony in front of 50 guests.

The bride, Satoko Shibata, works at the company which made the robot. The groom, Tomohiro Shibata, is a professor at a university teaching robotics.

The couple said they met through a project making robots.

"Please lift the bride's veil," the robot said, before the couple kissed.

It was controlled by a man who sat nearby behind a black curtain.
