In the latest "WTF"-type news, BoingBoing is reporting that a Japanese man, who goes by the name Sal9000, has married his virtual video game character Nene Anegasaki, from the DS game "Love Plus."

The wedding took place at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, and had a real priest, real audience, and a slideshow of the happy couple's favorite memories.

The event was posted on Japan's Nico Nico Douga, a strange but popular video sharing site.

Below is BB's video report on the wedding, and we wish the bride and groom a happy life together.

ok, I call dibs on Shantotto :3

How the *** anyone can make that marriage legal is beyond me... Does that mean if he drops his DS and breaks it he can be charged for murder? And can someone else marry the same character?

And we were busy worrying about the gays getting married. Looks like the the decay of the institution of marriage isn't related to homosexuality at all.

Btw Poppi, if you quit FFXI I'm marrying your character. I'm not sure you have any say in it though.

Doesn't anywhere that this marriage was "legal". Having a real priest at the ceremony means nothing.

He will never get an entry on his Koseki.

We have this new news/talk show thing here in Aus that had this story on it last night, either I wasn't paying attention or they were wrong or both, but I thought they said it was a legal marriage, which is insane.

I wonder if playing any other game on his DS is considered cheating.

I don't know what's worse, people who play video games so much, they end up killing themselves, parents neglecting their children over video games or this.

This just took video game addiction to a whole new level. This is actually quite scary and that kid needs some serious help.

Doesn't matter if you approve or not, I doubt Nene Anegasaki had a chance to decline and she's... happily?... married.

It isn't legal. Just like marrying someone at church in France have no legal value at all. You need to marry in front of the mayor in a city hall and need to SIGN official documents.

How the *** an anime character is gonna sign something ? In b4 printer or automated robot lol.

An anime character have no official identity = no legal marriage. Hell you cannot even marry someone who is a "real person" but have no id (like an ID-less illegal migrant etc.) so don't expect Japan to accept weddings with virtual characters.

Things like this have happened before, but instead of a video game character, I believe it was a woman who married the Eiffel tower. At least this guy married something with a "personality," whether or not the marriage is "legal." (Which I'm sure it's not.)

Yeah but government is strict when it comes to these matters actually. It's not like politics like otaku and all.

Allowing this would be opening the pandora box in a country like japan. People would start marrying to FF XI characters, anime/manga characters, game characters, etc... *** crazy.

My first impression is "wat" and then "who cares". I've seen tons of crazy stuff like this, but marriage is prolly a first.
Kind of weird they allow "this", but won't get gay people get married. Idk about the laws over there, but this post has me befuddled.

That is just so freaking sad. . .

I was reading at Kotaku last time that mostly 85% of Japanese boys are so obsess with games to the point that they forget about how to take care of themselves and are mostly virgins but, marrying a Game Character is just out of bound.

Yeah some did that, but well again it's just "married".

What's worse are people treating dolls as real person, it's not that common but some guys are into this.

I'm expecting him to divorce "her" whenever the first dating sim for the 360's Natal camera comes out. :p

Actually we have already system similar to Natal on available on PC which works with dating sim :)

With some sensor + USB you can do awesome things. I'd like the video but it would be NSFW obviously.

I'll make it twice as bad. I'll marry my in-game character. Then it's an in-game gay marriage!
