Japanese man marries a video game character

Multiple web sites are reporting that a Japanese man, who calls himself SAL9000, has official married Nene Anegasaki last weekend. It sounds normal, if Nene Anegasaki wasn’t one of the three virtual girlfriend characters in a dating simulation game Love Plus for Nintendo DS.

SAL9000 traveleved with his Nintendo to Guam where the wedding was held in a real church. During the trip, he took a lot of photos of them together and documented their adventures using iPhone. Upon return to Tokyo, he organized a small reception for friends, family and media figures. The reception was broadcast live on the popular japanese video sharing community Nico Nico Douga.

“Now that the ceremony is over, I feel like I’ve been able to achieve a major milestone in my life,” says SAL9000 in a letter for the web site Boing Boing.
