‘I-Fairy’ robot helps Japanese couple say ‘I do’

ALMOST everyone stood when the bride walked down the aisle in her white gown, but not the wedding conductor, because she was bolted to her chair.

The nuptials at this ceremony were led by “I-Fairy,” a four-foot tall seated robot with flashing eyes and plastic pigtails.

Yesterday’s wedding was the first time a marriage had been led by a robot, according to manufacturer Kokoro Co.
