A Japanese man who goes by the online handle Sal9000 has married his anime character girlfriend, Nene Anegasaki. It’s all so romantic. Nene is part of the Nintendo DS video game Love Plus, the wedding was held at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and a real priest was on hand. The ceremony was broadcast live on the internet. I have no idea when, how, or if this marriage will be consummated. [Boing Boing]

@bogart: because they’re not gay, so it’s okay. Their love is a celebration of the institution of marriage!

I hope someone is giving him psychiatric help for a wedding gift
