The
church doors open, and the bride steps in. An organ is heard playing that
traditional tune. She is stunning, dressed in the purest of white with her
heard bowed behind a veil and her thumbs tap tap tapping just below her breast.
Everyone stares in awe at her beauty through high-resolution screens and
snap away at instantly uploaded pictures. This moment must be well documented.
The beaming groom records the procession on his phone, which is being uploaded
live for friends and family to watch.
As the bride arrives at her fiancé’s side, her
thoughts are instantly shared with everyone in the room, her family, her
friends, and everyone she has ever known or might know. The organ stops, and an
usher begin the recording. Available for all religions, languages, and
backgrounds, the Prerecorded Priest app is a necessity for such an occasion. A
serious yet joyful voice fills the room, reciting the ceremonial preamble to
the fateful moment. When it calls for any who oppose this union, the best man
raises his hand with a grin. Everyone laughs, but only those previously
informed had their devices prepared for that timely picture, and only they will
get the likes and retweets. The voice continues, pausing to allow the bride and
groom to send their responses to that momentous question. The rings, the kiss,
the applause, all accompanied by the near silent touch of finger to screen.
The newlyweds burst out of the church followed
by a stream of guests and flashing lights. A gorgeous black limousine is
waiting for the couple, and the driver opens the door to expose it’s patented
leather interior. The couple climbs in, the new husband punches in the address
on the robotic driver, and they are whisked off to their hotel to prepare for
the reception that evening. In the quiet limousine, the couple sits in silence,
for they have nothing to say.
Nice Leo :)
