Huh?
Sometime back in early 2010, Lee Jin-Gyu, a Korean man, married a pillow. That’s right...a pillow. But not just any pillow, folks; it’s a life-sized, huggable pillow (known as ‘dakimakura’) adorned with an image of a popular Japanese anime character.
Apparently, the nuptials were held in a special ceremony presided over by a bona fide priest. In honor of the special day, Lee got his bride a brand new wedding dress and took her to an amusement park for their honeymoon.
Just when I think I’ve heard it all...
But hey, the guy seems happy, so who am I to judge?
There'll be lots of "pillow talk" going on there....wasn't there also a guy who married his horse? It's not hurting anyone else, so I say, why not?
ReplyDeleteHahaha...yes, there certainly will be lots of pillow talk!
DeleteTheir children will be cute little cushions, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteHahahaa...they sure will!
DeleteI was curious so I checked. He is not the first to marry and inanimate object.
ReplyDeleteThis is from a news article:
"Erika La Tour Eiffel: As you might be able to guess from her new last name, this former US Air Force soldier wedded the Eiffel Tower—at a ceremony attended by friends—in 2007. Previous relationships include an archery bow named Lance, and a sword.
Eija-Riitta Eklöf Berliner-Mauer: She gave the phenomenon of falling in love with inanimate objects a name: Objectum Sexual. Her spouse? The Berlin Wall.
Miss Wolfe: This Pennsylvania woman says she’s attracted, “sexually and mentally,” to a roller coaster called 1001 Nachts that she’s ridden more than 3,000 times. She even carries around—wait for it—spare nuts and bolts from the ride."
I know...there's so much out there! The stories you listed are fascinating. I wonder if these people have always been this way or if they changed at some point.
DeleteWell, just when I thought I'd heard everything, lol Thanks for the smile today!
