Marriage between man and videogame character

Boing Boing contributing editor Lisa Katayama reports on the marriage in Japan between a man known as "Sal9000" and Nene Anegasaki, a character in the Nintendo DS dating simulation game "Love Plus."

On Sunday, a man named Sal9000 married the love of his life. Her name is Nene Anegasaki, and she lives inside of a Nintendo DS video game called Love Plus. The wedding took place during a Make: Japan meet-up held at the Tokyo Institute of Technology. In attendance were a live audience, an MC, the bride's virtual video game girlfriend — who made a speech — and a real human priest.
