Akihiko Kondo, a 35-year-old Japanese school teacher, has found his forever person in Hatsune Miku. She happens to be 16-year-old, has big doe eyes and long aqua-colored hair. But this bride is unlike other brides! She is a singing hologram, developed by a media firm called Crypton Future Media. Akihiko’s elaborate marriage ceremony was attended was by 39 friends and relatives but not by his parents.

People in Japan and on Twitter have a mouthful to say about this, Elizabeth Zwirz reports.
