A Chinese man has married himself to express his "dissatisfaction with reality".

Chinese man Liu Ye, 39, has married a foam cut-out of himself in a ceremony in Zhuhai city /Lu Feng

Liu Ye, 39, from Zhuhai city, married a life sized foam cut-out of himself wearing a woman's bridal dress.

"There are many reasons for marrying myself, but mainly to express my dissatisfaction with reality," he said.

"This marriage makes me whole again. My definition of marriage is different from others."

The ceremony was held at a traditional courtyard packed with more than 100 guests.

The 'couple' were led out by a bridesmaid and a groomsman and bowed to ancestors and senior guests for blessings.

Liu says he is not gay, but admits he's "maybe a bit narcissistic", reports New Express.

Ya think?

[Always Right]

Perhaps he should have dressed as a woman and make the cutout of a man.

[Shimmer128]

This wife won't be enough for him either.

Much better now that I don't have that pesky ol' appendix weighing me down.

Something tells me he's going to have to sleep on his arm every night.

He better watch out for paper cuts on the wedding night!

[wallcrawlr]

I dont see any holes on that cardboard cutout.

[Tatze]

I need to try that diet. I'll get down to my ideal weight in no time, one organ at a time!

[pissant]

Not sure I condone organ removal as a good weight loss strtegy. ;o)

Millee!!! How the heck are ya???

Okay, who is crazier here- the guy who married himself or the more then 100 people who showed up to witness it? But it is China, so maybe they were just there for the free food.

And really, shouldn't he have made his "bride" a bit happier?? She looks ticked off that she has to marry him.

[Dallas59]

Why not?

[JRios1968]

Must have gotten tired of the pre-marital sex
