这个男子和手机结婚了！还给手机戴了婚戒！
It’s with us pretty much 24/7. “We look to itfor solace2,to calm us down, to put us to sleep, to ease our mind, and to methat’s also what a relationship is about,” Aaron Chervenak said. Soin a sense, my smartphone has been my longest relationship. “
手机一周七天、二十四小时不间断和我们在一起。“我们向手机寻求安慰，手机安抚我们、哄我们睡觉、放松身心，于我而言，感情就是这样的,”亚伦查维纳克如是说道。所以，某种程度上，手机一直以来都是我最长久的恋爱对象。“
But a man-and-smartphone wedding wasn’t going to be the mostorthodox ceremony in the world, so in order to get someone to marryhim and his beloved handheld, Chervenak had to go to the placewhere bizarre weddings happen all the time – Las Vegas. Hecontacted the owner of The Little Las Vegas Chapel and he was notonly ok with it, but genuinely excited.
但人和智能手机的婚礼不会是世上最正统的，为了迎娶他挚爱的掌上设备，查维纳克去了拉斯维加斯，那里一直以来都举办各种怪诞的婚礼。他和拉斯维加斯小教堂主人取得联系，得到了准许不说，还真心激动不已。
On May 20th, Arron put on his tuxedo3,took his phone and drove to the The Little Las Vegas Chapel in hispurple Cadillac to get married. The wedding ceremony was small butvery emotional, and you could see the groom4 wasa bit nervous when saying his speech and putting the ring on thephone.
5月20日，艾伦穿上西装，带上手机、开着他的紫色卡迪拉克，前往拉斯维加斯小教堂结婚。婚礼仪式小型却脉脉含情。看得出新郎发表誓词和给手机带婚戒的时候有点点紧张。
“It’s not yet legal to marry smartphones, but what I hope mywedding will do is to somehow act as a symbolic5 gestureto show just how precious our phones are becoming in our dailylives, and hopefully get other to ask the same question ofthemselves.” Chervenak said.
”迎娶智能手机目前还不合法，但我希望我的婚礼可以表明手机在我们日常生活中是有多珍贵，有一定象征意义在，真心希望他人也可以问问自己同样的问题，“查维纳克说道。
