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.

I bet you she doesn't nag him and lets him come on her face.
How did he exchange vows with the pillow? Was the pillow not speaking out with an objection taken as it agreeing?
Man, that would have been an awesome opportunity for a ventriloquist to crash that wedding.
dem japs are so ed up
Was there any doubt that this man was Japanese from just reading the le of the thread?
He likes her cuz she's cuddly.
I guess the weirdest thing is not the guy who married a pillow, but the priest who make it official.
Obvious, but still fabulous.![]()

I wish them both the best...getting the stains out!![]()
I guess most of the people outraged about this have failed to hear about the growing life partner doll enterprise that has taken root in our own country. There was a show on Showtime I think that had these people ordering these life-sized dolls and a few of the people actually end up marrying them...
It ain't only the Japs that are nutty...that's fer sure.
Snicker . . . the pillow wore white.
She's not fooling anyone. You know there were plenty of factory workers stuffing her before she ever met this guy.
He better not get on the wrong side of her cuz...we all know she can be ice cold...
Uh, no...wrong. If some dumbass nerd came up to me and said, hey here's 200 bucks, marry me to my pillow. I'd take the money, do it (while recording it to laugh at later) and be on my merry way.
and yeah no one should be surprised this was about a japanese kid.
I heard she still carries around one guy's number.
In a few years...he's gonna dump it for a younger thinner pillow.
