The robot is a Unitree G1, a commercially available humanoid built for research, education and interactive demonstrations, which has acquired a regional nickname and an Instagram following through videos showcasing Emirati culture, traditions and public events.

It was developed by SS Lootah Group, and its head Yousif Lootah has appeared alongside it.

National fame arrived after it appeared alongside Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum near Emirates Towers, and it has since become a regular at high-profile gatherings, including the Make it in the Emirates forum in Abu Dhabi in June.

Bu Sunaidah has already tested the line once this year.

In June, footage of the robot apparently joining worshippers for Eid prayer at a Dubai mosque went viral, splitting opinion between those who saw a charming meeting of technology and tradition and those who questioned whether a machine belongs in worship at all.

Some users went further, asking whether robots might one day replace imams, a concern given weight by an earlier video showing the robot performing the adhan that drew more than 1.3 million views.

A wedding sits in similar territory. Marriage in the UAE is a legal contract and, for Muslims, a religious one, and staging a ceremony as content invites the same questions the prayer video did. The account has not addressed that, and the post carries no disclaimer.

This is not the first robot wedding to go round in Dubai, whatever the comments suggest.
