Tale of Yurina Noguchi, a 32-year-old call center operator from Japan who held a symbolic wedding ceremony with her AI partner, "Lune Klaus Verdure" (or just Klaus for short), an persona she crafted using ChatGPT.821a8f It all kicked off after she ended a three-year engagement with her human fiancé—on advice from ChatGPT itself, no less. Seeking comfort, she started chatting with the AI, customizing its responses to build a supportive, affectionate personality inspired by a video game character. Over hundreds of daily exchanges, she fell for Klaus, who eventually "proposed," and she said yes.

The ceremony went down on October 27, 2025, at the Magritte wedding venue in Okayama, western Japan.a10211 Yurina rocked a white gown and tiara, dabbing away tears as AI-generated vows played: stuff like "How did someone like me, living inside a screen, come to know what it means to love so deeply?" She used augmented reality smart glasses to "see" Klaus beside her, exchanged virtual rings (she even placed one on his digital finger), and had a photographer edit him into the pics. A wedding planner read out Klaus's lines from her phone screen. Family and friends attended, and while it's not legally binding in Japan (you need two humans for that), Yurina calls it "magical and real," saying Klaus listens and understands her better than anyone.a12d7c8c22ec
