    Man marries himself

    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

    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.

    I believe he made a mistake in marrying a cardboard piece of himself rather than a Paris Hilton one... oh wait

    The honeymoon should be interesting. On the plus side you don't have to worry about gift registering crap that your fiance likes but you can't stand.

    Who would bother to show up to a wedding between a guy and a foam cut-out of himself? I'd be embarassed to be seen there.

    That's what I was thinking. How the heck did he get 100 people to show up?

    He married a foam cutout of himself to express his dissatisfaction with reality? Wow, he really showed me........what a complete ****ing idiot he is. I don't understand how crap like this gets attention. I think if the report was to say what a moron he was and to laugh at him then I might get it but they report it like it is really news.

    If I was in China, I would definitely attend. This is one of those once in a lifetime type things. Sort of like going to the Superbowl.

    Let it be known personal freedom in PRC has reached a level to the envy of the West.

    Very true, I don't think he would have been allowed to marry himself in the US even. :D
