The Internet of Things (IoT) has reached a new peak, with the dawn of the smart wedding, where brides film everything they see.

It’s something everybody wants to capture: every second of your wedding day, from the point of view of the bride.

Finally, it’s here. Finally, IoT has caught up with one of our oldest, most predictable traditions.

Sony has just partnered with fashion designer Rosie Olivia to create the ever-needed first ‘wearable technology wedding veils collection’.

It’s designed to “capture a unique view of matrimony, from the bride’s eyeline”, and mounts a Sony’s 4K FDR-X1000V. Because of course it does.

Although, when you think about it, this could render selfie-sticks obsolete, although as evidenced by some of the promotional snaps, that may not prove possible…

“Too many of my friends have complained about their lack of wedding videography,” says Olivia.

“The Bride’s Eye View collection will mean the most important vows are captured forever. With my own wedding on the way, my essentials will be something borrowed, something blue and the chance to capture your wedding with a bride’s eye view.”
