Korean man marries pillow

May 24 2010 By Carla Callaghan

A LOVESTRUCK man has married his sweetheart at a special ceremony in Korea - the difference about this marriage is that his new wife is a giant pillow.

Lee Jin-gyu kitted out his 'wife-to-be' with a white wedding dress and their nuptials were conducted by a local priest.  The 28-year-old is said to madly in love with his 'dakimakura' which has the face of anime character Fate Testarossa printed on it.

One friend said: "He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere"
 
He added: "They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal."
