CARNAL NATION

 A pretty lass from London, Hermione Way, has tied the knot with her laptop which she named Alex. The human-machine couple had an unofficial exchange of vows on Jan 31.

The 24-year-old professed her love for Alex, a 17-inch MacBook Pro over YouTube. Even Hermione's mum, Jane, has given her blessings. “We know Hermione will have a happy life.”

“Alex and I are happy together,” declares "the bride" on YouTube. “We’re inseparable. We’ve been spending every minute of every day together for the past two years.”

Citing that she chose Alex over a real man because he (Alex) doesn’t care how she looks like, Hermione adds, “If people are accepting same sex marriage these days, they should allow me to marry my high-tech partner.”
