Touch screen kiosk, PCs and monitors are used in a variety of industry sectors and now they are being used to perform marriage ceremonies.

The machine, called AutoWed, allows happy couples to get hitched for just £1.

Created by ConceptShed, a British firm who works in design, engineering, product development and prototyping, the eight-foot tall machine is a novelty wedding kiosk that offers a quick wedding, a personalised certificate and a couple of rings.

It plays the role of the vicar or wedding clergy and marries budding bride-to-be’s and grooms for the simple price of a McDonald’s happy meal.

AutoWed ‘speaks’ to the couples allowing them to choose whether they wish to marry their partner or not, via touch screen buttons. The engaged pair merely press the option for ‘I do’ or the button that says ‘escape’.

It also provides orientation options between ‘straight’, ‘gay’, ‘lesbian’ and even ‘best friends forever’. The printed receipt says the marriage was performed in the presence of ‘Minister Marvin.’

But there is no need to sweat any nasty divorce proceedings should the couple decide to later go separate ways and end the married bliss because the kiosks are purely for entertainment purposes and do not legally bind people in marriage. So if you get cold feet on the day of your Auto wedding day, you can opt to escape or just get an Auto Divorce.
