World’s First Computer to Human Marriage: London Girl Weds Laptop

[UK] 24-year-old Hermione Way has been unofficially engaged to her laptop who she calls Alex, for 11 months now.

Some people call her crazy and insane, but she wants to show the world how dedicated she is to her laptop with whom she has spent every minute of every day with for the past two years.

Current law does not allow computer to human marriages but Hermione is hoping to change all that.

They are having an unofficial exchanging of vows on Jan 31st 2010.

    Unholy alignment shall not be permitted, the uber-deity won’t allow it!! :)

  2. Congratulations Hermione, I’m glad to see that you are embracing diversity. I think it’s a good idea, as a lot of men I know upgrade their partners roughtly three times more frequently than their laptops. It could help reduce the divorce rate.

    hahahha Tim yeah… my Alex is a great boyfriend -Calm, non argumentative and always switched on -plus he is an abundance of information.

  4. Rich says:

  9. A_Jay says:

    wow !!! Your Laptop with lots of memory but no imagination, and have you made any backups of your harddrive yet?
    I know the reason you selected Laptop is that you wanted someone who can easily be kicked :)
    Dont dare try to troubleshoot your Laptop!!! The problem with troubleshooting is that trouble shoots back.

    Enjoy as long as you can ! cheers

    Shaikh – If you have nothing nice or at the very least intelligent to say then find another blog to infect!

    Hermione and I are extremely happy together.

    I can’t wait until the 31st baby and I make you my wifey. The next two weeks are going to feel like an eternity!

    By the way…where’s the honeymoon? You still haven’t told me!

    :)

  13. Hermione Way says:

    oh Alex.. didn’t I tell you?

    We are going to Silicon Valley!

    Our little netbook is coming along well- 7 weeks gone now

  14. Alex says:

    Darling, that will be perfect!

    I hope you’re bracing yourself for some serious pampering!

    I’ve stocked up on massage oils, body lotions and bath salts!

    I had to use your credit card to buy everything of the net. As you already know…I’m horrible with cash!

  21. geordielass77 says:

    typical boyfriend to me, full of information but when it comes to hands on got to do it your self

  22. Brian says:

    I’m insanely curious as to the bedroom aspects… is there some aid or would that make Alex angry?

  23. Kosovar says:

    Hope no Firewall will stand between U2 …

  24. kooke says:

    i think hermione did not think much before she reaches this disition because it is first good to ask what man can do and why do we marry. we marry to have sex and get children that is the two main ideas behind married but computers cant do it. man can stay with u as much as u want even one it comes life expectance computer can only stay with u for few year but man can stay with u for life. so i think it is better to change your mind know if u want man they are plenty more than enough. and i can Volunteer

  26. guy says:

    Hmm…… do you ever fsck Alex? Just be careful to unmount beforehand……..otherwise things could get crazy. ;)

  27. Sean says:

    What happens when Alex become outdated. Do you upgrade and name your new Macbook Pro “Alex” as well?

    I don’t quite understand the concept of conversation as well as it seems that you have to play both roles in the relationship. You speak for him to yourself, I find that taking away from the element of surprise in relationships. How do you currently overcome that?

    This is all very interesting to me, thanks for being honest with the world.

  28. [...] Filed under: Humor, Odds and ends, Macbook Pro We’re not sure about the authenticity of this video or if this is truly love at first iSight, but Macenstein featured the story about this young British woman, 24 year-old Hermione Way, who unofficially married her MacBook Pro “Alex” on January 31st. Yes, that’s correct. Unofficially married, because the U.K. (and probably every other country on the planet) refuses to recognize the legality of human / computer marriages. Hermione, who just happens to be the bloggess behind Techfluff.tv, would love to change all that. Her video blog entry shows both Hermione and Alex, a fascinating treatise on human / computer relations, and even has her Mum saying that she “…just wants Hermione to be happy.” There’s even talk of children in the future; the flesh and blood type, not little iPads running around. Whether you’re a romantic at heart who would love to marry your computer — and let’s face it, we spend more time conversing with them than we do many of our human relations — or if you think this is just a prank, the video is worth a watch.TUAWDo you, MacBook Pro, take this Hermione to be your lawfully wedded wife? originally appeared on The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW) on Thu, 04 Feb 2010 14:00:00 EST.

    -You can always get it going in the CD ROOM .
    -if someone hacks and convinces your computer to get a divorce, will he be getting half of himself?
    -what type of protection do you guys use? I dont think AVG covers TDs or kids :)

    Makes you wonder, what else will mac do to try to promote its products? Half machine have human child?

  38. Rick Forrest says:

    How are things going on the legal front? Any headway on changing the laws to recognise human-computer marriage?

    Also, do you lobby for human-program marriage rights as well? I ask because it’s something I’d really like to see happen…
