A man has shocked the world with a bizarre
addiction to his smartphone which has led him to
getting married to the device.
The man identified as Aaron Chervenak who is an
artist, took the idea of weird marriage to a whole
new level when he decided to marry his
smartphone.
According to Oddity Central, the man drove from
Los Angeles to Las Vegas, Nevada to finally take
the love for his smartphone to the next level by
marrying it at a small wedding chapel. And he
even put a ring on it.
Speaking about the event, Chervenak said: “We
look to it for solace, to calm us down, to put us
to sleep, to ease our mind, and to me that’s also
what a relationship is about.”
"So in a sense, my smartphone has been my
longest relationship. That’s why I decided to see
what it was like to actually marry a phone.”
Chervenak decided to conduct the ceremony in
Las Vegas.
He contacted the owner of The Little Las Vegas
Chapel and although he was not only ok with it,
the clergy was genuinely excited.
“I’m trying to ask the hard questions of myself as
to this relationship and I’m trying to go as far as
I can to explore it,” the groom said.
On May 20th, Chervenak put on his tuxedo, took
his phone and drove to the The Little Las Vegas
Chapel in his purple Cadillac to get married.
The wedding ceremony was small but very
emotional, and you could see the groom was a bit
nervous when saying his speech and putting the
ring on the phone.
“It’s not yet legal to marry smartphones, but
what I hope my wedding will do is to somehow
act as a symbolic gesture to show just how
precious our phones are becoming in our daily
lives, and hopefully get other to ask the same
question of themselves and their relationships,”
Chervenak said.
A study conducted by internet security giant
Kaspersky found that a quarter of people ranked
their smartphone as more or equally important to
them as their parents.
