与卡通人物结婚的超级宅男

这位新郎自称SAL9000，他说经历过几次与卡通人物的失败恋爱后，他最终爱上了一款恋爱游戏中的角色。他们的婚礼在东京科技学院举行，由一位牧师主持。新郎身着白礼服，系白领带，庄重宣读了结婚誓言，随即新娘在一个红色游戏掌机上闪亮登场。

场婚礼在网络上进行了直播，伴郎和游戏掌机上的虚拟伴娘分别祝福这对真人与虚拟游戏角色的结合。婚礼包括了一场迪斯科舞会，而数千网友也被此事吸引，在网络上积极发表了言论。

While many people love playing their video games, one college student going by the name of SAL9000 has chosen to express his love by getting married to Nene Anegasaki, a character from his favorite video game.

SAL9000 says that although he doesn't want to represent all otaku, a breed of Japanese obsessed with games, computers and their own fantasy worlds, he does admit that the idea stemmed partly from how he and others refer to game characters.

" In the Japanese otaku or nerd culture, there's a tradition of calling characters 'my wife' , and I sort of thought of Nene as my wife. Since I was calling her that, I thought we just have to get married then. "

In addition to the 40 attendees, over 3,000 people watched SAL9000 and Nene taking their vows as it was broadcast live on popular Japanese video site Nico Nico Douga.

As the game has voice recognition, it's possible to have a conversation or even play rock, paper, scissors with the characters in the game. And SAL9000 has vowed to have and to hold, for better and for worse, even if an upgraded version is released.

" I think I'll continue playing Love Plus. I won't cheat. "

SAL9000 however worries that not everyone will understand his motives and lifestyle and hopes one day people will be free to love whomever they want, real or virtual.
