World's Strangest Marriages

& Relationships
1
The woman who married the Eiffel Tower

Erika La Tour Eiffel, 37, a former soldier who lives in San Francisco, has been
in love with objects before. Her first infatuation was with Lance, a bow that
helped her to become a world-class archer, she is fond of the Berlin Wall and
she claims to have a physical relationship with a piece of fence she keeps in
her bedroom. But it is the Eiffel Tower she has pledged to love, honour and
obey in an intimate ceremony attended by a handful of friends. She has
changed her name legally to reflect the bond. (Source)

The man who married himself
39-year-old Liu Ye from Zhuhai city, China, has married himself in front of
more than 100 guests at a traditional courtyard. He, and the foam cut-out of
himself in a red bridal dress, were attended by one bridesmaid and one
groomsman. On the way out he bowed to the ancestors and to senior guests in
return for blessings. Lui denies being gay but says he could be "a bit
narcissistic" according to local media reports. "There are many reasons for
marrying myself, but mainly to express my dissatisfaction with reality," Lui
said. "This marriage makes me whole again. My definition of marriage is
different from others." (Source)

The Swedish woman who has been married to the Berlin
Wall for over 30 years
Eija-Riitta Berliner-Mauer, 54, whose surname means Berlin Wall in German,
wed the concrete structure in 1979 after being diagnosed with a condition
called Objectum-Sexuality. Mrs Berliner-Mauer, whose fetish is said to have
its roots in childhood, claimed she fell in love with the structure when she first
saw it on television when she was seven. She began collecting "his" pictures
and saving up for visits. On her sixth trip in 1979 they tied the knot before a
handful of guests. While she remains a virgin with humans, she insists she has
a full, loving relationship with the wall. While the rest of mankind rejoiced
when the Wall, erected by the Soviets in 1961 to halt an exodus from East to
West Berlin, was largely torn down in 1989, its "wife" was horrified. She's
never been back and now keeps models depicting "his" former glory. (Source)

The Japanese man who married a character from
Nintendo DS video game
In November, a Japanese man known as Sal9000 married Nene Anegasaki
from the Nintendo DS video game “Love Plus,” a virtual dating game. He
actually had a real ceremony in Guam, where apparently it's legal to marry not
only inanimate but imaginary objects. His wife currently lives in the Nintendo
DSi LL/XL, which is a giant version of the DS, and visitors at the wedding
watched a slide show and saw the happy groom kiss his wife. Eek, his poor
wife is trapped in a video game and in a marriage she couldn't possibly be
aware of.
