I Now Pronounce You Man and Pillowcase
 |
?A Korean man has married his dakimakura, better known as a long body pillow with an anime girl printed on it. The bride in this case is Fate Testarossa from the anime Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha. The man was not James Franco, and that’s all you need to know. A Korean TV crew covered not only the “wedding” but the dates the two went on prior their matrimony; if you wish to see them they’re over at Sankaku Complex. Thanks to Akashi for the tip.
