Luv at first sight

Lee Jin-gyu fell for his 'dakimakura' - a kind of large, huggable pillow from Japan, often with a picture of a popular anime character printed on the side.

In Lee's case, his beloved pillow has an image of Fate Testarossa, from the 'magical girl' anime series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.

Now the 28-year-old otaku (a Japanese term that roughly translates to somewhere between 'obsessive' and 'nerd') has wed the pillow in a special ceremony, after fitting it out with a wedding dress for the service in front of a local priest. Their nuptials were eagerly chronicled by the local media.

'He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere,' said one friend.

'They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal,' they added.

The pillow marriage is not the first similarly-themed unusual marriage in recent times - it comes after a Japanese otaku married his virtual girlfriend Nene Anegasaki, a character who only exists in the Nintendo DS game Love Plus, last November.

When the pillow goes flat, do we have a divorce or

happy married life!

LOL!!
love @ first nap!

At least, the pillow will be more faithful than Nigerian gel.

Till death do them part!

DO you, Miss Pillow, take Mr Gangnam to be your lawfully wedded husband?

. . .he is every where with the pillow and buys meals for it too. What a funny man.

speeder: At least, the pillow will be more faithful than Nigerian gel.

So when are you also going to wed ur pillow..? Cos I heard they are always faithful. I think those Japanese guys needs general brain check up, even the the priest must have been suffering from brain leakage to have conducted that kind of silly wedding.
