Tomorrow, the couple will have a reception held on Niconico Douga at around 12 p.m. (no time zone given, check local listings on the site, if you can read Japanese.) The media has been invited to attend; slides will be shown from their time dating up through the wedding.

I've heard of dudes marrying a mannequin before so, this not in fact the most weird-slash-creepy-slash-pathetic thing I've ever heard. But my forced nonjudgment about this really needs its own word. Begrimaced? Bittersad?

I'm debating whether or not to take this seriously. Or laugh or cry. Actually, I already did that. I laughed so hard, I cried.

But...yeah. No comment.

I think its the first time I've ever heard of someone marrying a video game. It IS sad, but still funny at the same time.

I'm not surprised that this isn't an MMOShite article.
Must be too interesting for them :/

him and his fleshlight are gonna have one hell of a honeymoon

Haha, I wonder how the divorce will work out, who will get the kids??? who gets the car? house? All he has to do is, delete her, or throw the game away, and he wins. Lol if he ever has a date in real life he would be comitting adultery. So when he goes to a family outing and his cousin asks "hey i heard you got married, so where is she?" then he pulls a DS out of his pocket and then there's the awkward silence that follows. ROFL

I don't even feel anything when reading these kind of things anymore. What with having a gf of/marrying fake people, fictional characters in anime, and pillows with pictures of girls on it...you can say I'm numbed of these things now.
