A Quilt and Other Nonhuman Things People Have ‘Married’

People never cease to amaze! They can be amazing in the ideas they have or they can just be plain weird. There are weird reasons for murder, some truly bizarre traffic laws, some utterly outrageous cults and of course the myriad social media challenges that go from strange all the way up to WTF! Now we know that people want to marry things.

Marrying her duvet

For Pascale Sellick it was love at first sight and she plans to marry her duvet this February in a lavish ceremony. This, in spite of the fact that she has a boyfriend!

A giant pillow

Lee Jin-gyu from South Korea had a giant pillow he decided to marry. Obsessed with the pillow, it would go everywhere with him: to the park, out to meals. A Japanese priest contented to marry the two; and the pillow had its own wedding dress as well!

A cutout of himself!

A man from Zhuhai City, China Liu Ye, was 39 some years ago when he decided to marry himself, in a sense. He ‘married, a life-sized foam cut-out of himself. The cutout featured himself in in a woman’s bridal outfit. The ‘wedding’ had a groomsman, bridesmaid and one hundred guests in attendance!

The Eiffel Tower

Erika La Tour Eiffel is an Objectum sexual – one of the people with a love orientation towards objects – a rare but real condition say some experts. She fell in love with the Eiffel Tower and had a commitment ceremony to demonstrate her love. She has previously been in relationships with fighter jets, fences and later, a crane.

A truck

Humans didn’t turn on Maria Griffin. However she realised that her truck did. She picked Valentine's Day to marry her truck and apparently their sex life is amazing.

Blowup doll

Davecat advocates synthetic love in order to obviate the problems of human relationships. He is married to one blowup doll Sidore and has another, Elena as his mistress. These are anatomically correct dolls with tongues and artificial silicone ‘skin’ made as sex toys. However, but Davecat insists that these are his life partners and they have matching wedding bands to prove it!

Video game character, Tetris

This Japanese man decided to marry a character from a video game called Nene Anegasaki. In another instance, Noorul Mahjabeen Hassan is a math genius who decided to marry the game Tetris after a failed relationship with a calculator, iPod and GPS system.

Berlin Wall

Eija-Riitta Eklöf-Berliner-Mauer fell in love with the Berlin Wall when she was about 7, when she saw it on TV. She has been married to the Wall for 30 years now. She sleeps with a scaled down model of the wall and describes as ‘catastrophic’ the day that the wall fell.

Cutout of Robert Pattison

Lauren Adkins presumably loves the Twilight Saga star Robert Pattison and his character Edward Cullen because she married his life size cutout. They got married in Las Vegas and when she goes into a bar, drinks are ordered for her as well as her ‘husband’. Apparently they are happier than most newlyweds, she says.
