Married For A Buck? Local Inventor Has Machine!

FARMINGTON HILLS  (WWJ) -  Want to get married?  A local inventor has come up with a way that will only cost you a buck.

Marvin Yagoda says that he teamed up with a friend overseas to create the machine. "It's a beautiful pink machine, at the top it's got my picture called Minister Marvin and then it's got a nice little keyboard," said Yagoda.

Inventor Marvin Yagoda calls it the Wedding Machine; you put in a dollar and get a pair of rings and a certificate.

"Then you have to type in your names in this thing and then it says 'do you take this lovely...whatever it is...to be whatever it is...and goes through a little ceremony, then you get a nice wedding certificate," said Yagoda.

Yagoda says anyone can do it: "I could marry myself, I guess."

Asked about the legality of the Wedding Machine product, "The Wedding Certificate is made on thermal paper...and you know heat and light destroys thermal paper so you might have the divorce machine next to it," adds Yagoda.

"You stick that certificate in and add some heat, and the whole wedding will be dissolved," said Yagoda.

What's better than romance? asks Yogoda. "You see, Without finance, there's no romance...that's why it only costs a dollar," laughs Yagoda.

He is expecting delivery of the wedding machine to Marvin's Marvelous Mechanical Museum in Farmington Hills soon.
