When crowding a wedding in a church, in many cases you make an oath in front of a pastor or a priest, but there is a couple who has programmed the "virtual pastor" using a computer and has advanced ceremonies.

Will they be hitched without a glitch?

Miguel Hanson (33) and Diana Wesley (30) carried out the vow ceremony at the wedding in front of the 30 inch monitor. The blue eyes displayed on the left half of the screen, the square face icon wearing glasses is "virtual pastor". In the right half, the words "virtual pastor" are displayed as letters, and at the same time the same content is played back with audio.

Originally this couple was trying to ask a friend to ask the role of a pastor, but because the other party was not convenient, Hanson, a groom, who is a developer of Houston web and also an IT consultant, was raised at the same time and "Pastor Software" It is said that he decided to program the program and use that to declare the formula.

Hanson and Wesley who deepen love deepening in front of "virtual pastor".


Wesley, a bride who is teaching sign language at high school, understands that her husband has programmed "virtual pastor" as "jokes peculiar jokes", and friends and acquaintances are interested in their wedding ceremony It seems to think that it is an ingenuity to target to have it.

This couple got acquainted with the dating site "Otaku people"Sweet on Geeks"With SF hobby and fantasy such as hobby, I came to start dating.

Wesley's friend, serving as a bride's attendant, seems to have no choice but to direct their marriage, such as handling the character "Nerds (otaku)" made with candy in a wedding cake decoration.

The ceremony will be held in the backyard of the house where Hanson's parents live. As Mr. Wesley wished for a ceremony that was small, the guest seems to be a small celebration of about 30 people. At the ceremony of the ceremony, "virtual pastor", nicknamed "Rev. Bit" progresses with a little joke besides the progress of the ceremony.

In the demonstration that I went before the ceremony, "Even if there are people saying" If you are thinking about marriage "among those who are here, or" There is an objection to marriage ", they listen I will not have it and I can not respond to it because I was programming to Miguel (groom Hanson), so I just executed his command ", somewhat ironic content I was showing off my joke.

Hanson and Wesley cooperated and invented texts displayed during the expression. Friends immediately agreed on the formula using "virtual pastor", but it seems that it took a while to persuade families.

In line with the progress of the formula, it is Hanson's role to operate the operation of "virtual pastor", and it is planned to use wireless mouse. However, it means that it generally runs automatically.

Mr. Wesley comments that "We both are fond of computers, so we are already married (with a computer)." This couple seems to be working as a part of the ceremony event, taking a couple of people who came across a computer to positively take a positive vow to swear in love in front of the computer.
