Virtual Bride

This story is a bit old, dating back to November 2009, but I think it's very interesting about the marriage union of a man and his virtual girlfriend from the Nintendo DS game Love Plus. He actually had a real wedding with a real priest and the virtual bride even made a speech during the ceremony!

I think it's interesting because it brings to the topic of what is considered a legal marriage and how would the government bodies of each nation deal with such topics of a virtual bride if this kind of situation arises again in the future and becomes a social norm? Will this situation become a social norm in the future? What do you guys think? And how are we as a society supposed to react to this kind of union? If this is acceptable, then what about other kinds of marriage that are not accepted in today's society?
