The gamer fell in love with the virtual woman named Nene Anegasaki while playing Love Plus, a dating simulation game.

The aim of Love Plus is to court and build a relationship with one of three cartoon-style women, but virtual romance was not enough for this particular player, identified only by his username Sal9000.

Last weekend he became the first person to officially pledge his love to a video game character in a ceremony at a technology festival in Tokyo.

The couple's special day was witnessed by dozens of computer game fans and overseen by a real-life priest, although he stressed that the "wedding" was not official or legally binding.

However, some reports on computer game websites state that Sal9000 had earlier married his digital bride at a chapel on the Pacific Ocean holiday island of Guam, where wedding laws are less strict.
