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.
It was Max, wasn't it?
Until his hand cramped.....
Now you're dating yourself.
Maybe he just wants to use the car pool lane on the freeway.
"Which one is the cutout?"
They all look alike, you know...
He better hope "the little woman" never meets up with Bill Clinton - ice on foam leaves a nasty spot...
His hand lotion bills must be astronomical.
Good to hear from you. Hope the back is better.

I have a metal cage where my disk used to be and the bones have fused to it, along with the 5 screws.
Or maybe he's just a twelve o'clock feller in a nine o'clock town.
Maybe it's this guy's way to protest indirectly China's one child rule and the resulting shortage of women.
The Communist government might think he's off his board, but avoids Marxist reeducation if he doesn't directly protest the government's one child policy.
Even though his choice of mate might fall flat, maybe the poor fellow's psyche has been saved by his thinking up a way to confront the surreal one-child social policy. What he has created to cope with the shortage of women is an equally surreal approach to marriage.
