Could this be real or some sort of joke? It was a funny sight to behold after this photo went viral on the social media sphere, of a young bride getting wedded to a white mannequin which stood in the place of her fiance, who is purportedly based abroad.

According to some people who know the lady, she has been dating the guy whom she met on the Internet and has never seen him before.

After much pressure from her parents to get married, she and the young man arranged to have their traditional wedding but since he would not be around, they sought a replacement but with no man willing to take his place, they settled for the mannequin.  Many have since questioned their decision to use a white mannequin for the groom.
