Talk about your epic weddings.  This takes otaku to a whole new level.  Wish I was around the statue to see this priceless gem go down.  Dude really wore that to his own wedding.  Cohones the size of bowling balls that one.  I wonder what he wife was really thinking – “Oh that Yasuo, maybe one day he will grow up…”

The craziest thing – 548 couples wanted to be them.  Wow.

Check out the full article a images over at Mainichi Daily.

**9/3/09 – I just found out an interesting fact that was not mentioned in the Mainichi Daily story.  It turns out that both the husband and wife are super otaku (geeky) for Gundam and that they both separately and secretly applied to win the chance to be married in front of the gigantic statue.  The wedding turned out to be their secret gift for eachother.  Whoever planned the event chose the couple because they had tried to surpriseeachother with the same idea/gift. *side note – This was both the man’s and woman’s 2nd marriage and both bring kids to their new family.

This brings up a good question.  Due to its romanticism, does this rise above normal otaku levels or are they just geeks?
