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.

This must be a pretty common thing over there in Asia. Look at these crazy pillows they've made.
To: Millee
Well what's the point in that? He'll still have to do laundry and dishes.

What happens when they divorce?
Who gets custody of the origami children? Not to mention the music collection...

I hope he got a prenuptual agreement before he married. If a divorce becomes nasty, just imagine the consequences of a restaining order on him.
