CIOL Man marries smartphone

Yes, you read it right, and no we have not missed out on any prepositions there. A man did get married "to" his smartphone and not "on" his phone. Marriages on smartphones are now officially passe. This wedding was just like any wedding the groom Aaron donned a tux while the bride wore a protective case.

Artist-director, Aaron Chervenak, drove 365 kilometres from Los Angeles to Las Vegas to take part in a typical Las Vegas wedding.

This Los Angeles man has married his smartphone in a church ceremony in Las Vegas. This might seem taking his love for the cellphone to a whole new bizarre level.

And Michael Kelly owner of the Little Las Vegas Chapel asked the groom, in her usual fashion, “Do you, Aaron, take this smartphone to be your lawfully wedded wife, and do you also promise to love her, honor her, comfort and keep her, and be faithful to her?”

Aaron with utmost surety and sincerity said: “I do.” Then he placed his wife on his left ring finger since the wife had a nifty little ring attached to her plastic cover.

Las Vegas Review-Journal report says,  Kelly, who has married a lot of strange couples, said, “At first it was like what? And then I was like... Alright, let’s do it."

Kelly said, adding that it sounds almost like a marriage. “People are so connected to their phones and they live with them all the time. They go to sleep with their cell phone. They wake up with their cell phone, sometimes it’s the first thing they check,”

The marriage is, therefore, Aaron's symbolic gesture to make a point about how dependent people are on their phones.

Aaron said in a YouTube video, “To me, that’s also what a relationship is about,” and “My smartphone has been my longest relationship. We connect with our phones on so many emotional levels. We look to it for solace, to calm us down, to put us to sleep, to ease our minds.”

As they say, what happens in Las Vegas, stays in Las Vegas! Hope they live happily ever after.
