Footage has emerged from China of a man holding an official wedding with a doll.

The video, which was filmed in Beijing on Friday, shows the groom saying 'yes' to the bride after the master of ceremonies reads out the promises.

According to news reports, someone who claimed to know the situation said the 28-year-old groom was a single wedding photographer who had been suffering from cancer. He didn't want to marry a girl who would soon be a widow, so he came up with this solution and fulfilled his wish of having a marriage.
