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.

I'm surprised it made the press. Dennis Rodman did this years ago, but I can't recall if that was before or after he wed Carmen Electra.

Wonder if he can claim the cut-out as a dependent on his taxes?

I get the funny feeling that this marriage will leave him not a bit more satisfied with reality.

I do not question his sanity (there is no question about it - he is insane). Unless his 100+ guests were also foam cutouts, it is their sanity I question.

If marriage can be between anybody with anybody (anybodies), as Brad Pitt and so desperately wants, this is just the next step.

He will never be true to himself. I bet that even on the honeymoon he was fooling around with Rosie Palm and her five sisters.

Reminds me of the cut-outs and such from Steve Martin's 1984 comedy The Lonely Guy. Pictured here is uber-schlimaazel Charles Grodin playing chess with himself.

Many many years ago when I was twenty three,
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.
This widow had a grown-up daughter
Who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her,
And soon the two were wed.
This made my dad my son-in-law
And changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother,
For she was my father's wife.

To complicate the matters worse,
Although it brought me joy,
I soon became the father
Of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby then became
A brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle,
Though it made me very sad.

For if he was my uncle,
Then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter
Who, of course, was my step-mother.

Father's wife then had a son,
Who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson,
For he was my daughter's son.

My wife is now my mother's mother
And it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife,
She's my grandmother, too.

If my wife is my grandmother,
Then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it,
It simply drives me wild.

For now I have become
The strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother,
I am my own grandpa!
