39-year-old Liu Ye from Zhuhai city, China, has married himself in front of more than 100 guests at a traditional courtyard. He, and the foam cut-out of himself in a red bridal dress, were attended by one bridesmaid and one groomsman. On the way out he bowed to the ancestors and to senior guests in return for blessings. Lui denies being gay but says he could be "a bit narcissistic" according to local media reports. "There are many reasons for marrying myself, but mainly to express my dissatisfaction with reality," Lui said. "This marriage makes me whole again. My definition of marriage is different from others."

今年39岁的刘晔（音译）是中国珠海人，他在自家的院子里当着100多位宾客的面跟自己结婚了。他跟那个用泡沫板做成的自己穿着红色的结婚礼服，还请了一个伴娘跟一个伴郎，他向祖宗排位和长辈们鞠躬行礼，以期获得祝福。刘晔本人否认自己是同性恋，他说本地媒体的报道可能让他看起来“有点自恋”。“有很多理由让我跟自己结婚，但是最主要的是，我想以此来表达对现实的不满。”他说，“这个婚姻让我又变得完整了，我对婚姻的定义与一般人不太一样。”
