Japanese Man Weds His Anime Video Game Character Girlfriend

A Japanese man known as "Sal9000" and Nene Anegasaki, a character in the Nintendo DS dating simulation game "Love Plus" was married last Sunday.

The wedding took place during a Make: Japan meet-up held at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. In attendance were a live audience, an MC, the bride's virtual video game girlfriend — who made a speech — and a real human priest.

The event was livecast on Nico Nico Douga, a popular video sharing web site. Nico Nico Douga is home to thousands of video projects by anonymous users — mashups of original art, pop music, anime, and web memes that only an insider to Japanese web geek culture can completely decipher.

I guess the advantage is, if you don't want to hear your wife nag, you can just shut her off.

Here's the video of the wedding.
