This otaku couple, who (along with their children) are huge Gundam fans, were the lucky winners of a matrimony contest and got the chance to take their wedding vows in front of Odaiba’s life-sized RX-78-2 Gundam. Naturally, local Japanese TV news picked up on the story…

Even the Gundam itself seemed to be silently saluting the new couple.

Note: The image on the Gundam’s right shoulder is a reference to Tokyo’s bid to host the 2016 Summer Olympics.

Now, wouldn’t the Gundam holding the Olympic Torch be a majestic sight?
