A Chinese man has married himself to express his "dissatisfaction with reality".
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'm sure California would have no problem allowing him to marry himself.

Y'know, if I weren't already getting married, I'd marry myself too. Think of the tax benefits.

My brother knows a couple guys down south in one of the more liberal states. They were living together, both had long term girlfriends. They married each other for tax benefits, even though they were straight and both had GF's.

I'm waiting for the divorce papers to show up on the smoking gun website. That'll probably make my day.
