Japanese men are lining up for the chance to marry a former porn star, with a price tag of $4,000.
But while there’s everything from a flowing white gown and romantic ceremony to a kiss at the altar, the entire wedding is actually fake.
It’s a new role for Asuka Hoshino, who left the adult film industry in 2014 after three years.
Now Asuka, 31, is giving men a chance to live out a very different kind of fantasy.

Asuka will walk down the aisle with her groom and they will be able to exchange rings – but only if he has provided them himself.
Grooms will be able to take home the marriage certificate – which will not be legally recognised
The couple will then sign a marriage certificate and seal the deal with a kiss, before taking wedding pictures with a professional photographer.
Grooms will be able to take home the marriage certificate – which will not be legally recognised – as a souvenir, as well as six of the professional photos.
The entire ceremony lasts up to two and half hours long and will take place in Odaiba, a large artificial island in Tokyo.
While the wedding may be fake, it appears Asuka hopes to make it feel as authentic as possible.
‘Come enjoy your real wedding with me and be happy together,’ she promises on the Ambitious website.
A beautiful wedding is no doubt a much-needed fantasy for Asuka, who revealed that she was coerced into joining the adult film industry.
Asuka had appeared in a number of movies after earning a finalist spot in a major magazine contest in 2004.

But a big talent agency introduced her to a man that eventually entangled her with the porn industry, she told the Tokyo Reporter.
In her early twenties at the time, Asuka said she was ‘easily brainwashed’.
After struggling with depression, panic attacks, and a suicide attempt, Asuka was finally able to leave the industry for good after three years.
‘I still think it would be hard for me to think about getting married or having children,’ she told the site.
