Man marries pillow
True love can take many forms. In this case, it has taken the form of a Korean man falling in love with, and eventually marrying, a large pillow with a picture of a woman on it.

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.

Here's another example of someone who probably wanted to marry a pillow, at least for a little while...

Maybe there's something to it!

Nope, the marriage won't last. He'll probably pound the pillow with his fists and turn it over 100 times or more during the night when he can't get comfortable. :lol:

Good point, I imagine a pillow can only take so much abuse before it snaps and suffocates the guy!

He'll also complain that she's not cool enough!!!! :eek: :crazy: :lol:

I don't really blame him. That pillow does have a nice "figure." :)

Awwww, he married his "dream" girl!!!:lol:

This reminds me of that episode of "Pee-Wee's Playhouse" where Pee-Wee Herman was having an overnight pajama party with his friends, and he was having a bowl of fruit salad, and he commented, "I love this fruit salad!" When everyone asked, "Then why don't you marry it?" Pee-Wee actually stated, "All right, then I will!" Then, they actually had a wedding ceremony where Pee-Wee actually married the bowl of fruit salad! :lol:

I'm thinking of marrying Cleveland on Veteran's Day of Next Year.

Yeah...my Love Life's Dead so this Christmas...I'm proposing to Cleveland itself!

He'll also complain that she's not cool enough!!!! :eek: :crazy: :lol:

If he thinks she's not cool enough, all he needs to do is turn her over.

Yup, he married his main squeeze!!! :rofl:

And he can literally hug the stuffing out of her! :lol:

She was also easy to carry over the threshold - she's light as feathers!! :D

Yeah, get those instead of monogrammed towels. :rofl:

I wonder who (literally) sat on the brides side? Cushions, matts, beanbag chairs? I hope the groom's family didn't mistake them for seating, you don't want your pillow-in-laws to hate you. I wonder what she looks like under that pillow case?
