About: This article is about a wedding taken place in Japan, where for the first time ever they used a robot as a priest. This robot is called the I-Fairy, made by a company called Kokoro, the same company that made the character Hello Kitty. The bride was working in the Kokoro company and that's why they used it in the wedding. The couple was pleased to use this robot at their wedding. This priest is controlled by a man in a keyboard so it doesn't do anything crazy while the ceremony and it was also programed before use, just in case. Now, they are selling these robots for 68,000 dollars!! There are only 5 of these robots in the whole wide world.

Why is this important? It is important because we can see how much technology has grown. Every time we take a step, it is closer to a modern, future world. By this we can know that the future will be full of modern things made only by technology.
