Man to marry sex doll

A man has got engaged to his sex doll girlfriend. Xie Tianong ordered his silicone 'girlfriend' in October 2019 and revealed that he popped the question in a ceremony attended by friends and family last month.

Xie, who hails from China, revealed that he has been attracted to dolls for a number of years and likes how his partner - who he has nicknamed 'Mochi' - gives him "all her attention". The pair even share a baby doll together.

He told LADbible: "When me and my previous girlfriend were together, she was always staring at her phone, but with Mochi it's different. She will concentrate and give me all her attention."

Xie revealed that he doesn't kiss his partner as he is frightened that his saliva's acidity could damage the doll's skin.

He explained: "I respect Mochi and only want her as a companion. I have had human girlfriends before, but I am only attracted to dolls now. I have never had sex with her."

Bride wears wrong wedding dress

A woman discovered that she has the wrong wedding dress - 14 years after she got married. Wendie Taylor had her dress packaged for preservation after she wed in 2006, but only discovered the mix-up recently as she showed her daughter McKayla the gown.

She said: "McKayla and I were talking and I said, 'You've never actually seen my dress.' And she said, 'No, I haven't, I've just seen pictures.'

"We open the box and ... she saw the look of horror for lack of [laughs], because it wasn't my dress.

"It's a beautiful dress. It's not my dress."

Taylor has launched a Facebook appeal to find her actual dress and outlined more details about the gown.

She told WCCO-TV: "My dress, it was strapless, it was two-tone, it had beadwork on it. Somebody else has the wrong dress, too."

Dinosaur footprint found on beach

A dinosaur footprint was discovered on a beach by a four-year-old girl. Lily Wilder made the extraordinary discovery in Barry, Wales, and experts think it could help establish how dinosaurs walked.

The footprint was spotted last month and is 220 million years old. It had been preserved in mud.

Wilder's mother, Sally, told BBC News: "It was Lily and Richard (her father) who discovered the footprint.

"Lily saw it when they were walking along and said, 'Daddy, look.' When Richard came home and showed me the photograph, I thought it looked amazing.

"Richard thought it was too good to be true. I was put in touch with experts, who took it from there."

The dinosaur which left the footprint has been described as a "slender animal" that walked on its two hind feet and hunted other small animals and insects.
