    An Indonesian man has the online community abuzz after posting alleged wedding photos of him and his new “wife,” a Phillips-branded rice cooker. 

    Some grainy photos: Khoirul Anam documented his now-viral wedding ceremony on Sept. 20 in images posted to his Facebook page, where he can be seen wearing a traditional Indonesian groom attire while posing with his rice cooker, garbed in a white bridal veil.

    • According to Anam’s caption, he married the kitchen appliance because it is “white, loving and obedient. Without you, my rice is not cooked.”
    • In one of the images, Anam can also be seen signing their marriage documents. 
    • Apparently, their “marriage” did not last long as Aman announced four days later that he had divorced his “wife” because he realized that there’s no “perfect partner.”

    • The posts, which he hashtagged with #entertainment, were obviously a gag and not meant to be taken seriously. 
    • Regardless, they have become widely shared and have so far accumulated thousands of comments and reactions.

    Take it with a grain of rice: It’s worth noting that Anam is a known prankster in Indonesia and has posted similar stunts in the past. 

    • He once made headlines after putting spikes on his motorbike seat so his girlfriend wouldn’t get jealous.
