Woman Marries Eiffel Tower

by Becky Scott on June 12th, 2008

So did you hear the one about the woman who “married” the Eiffel Tower? Oh, we only wish we were joking.

A woman from San Francisco has a strange fetish for objects. Erika La Tour Eiffel pledged to love, honor and obey the Tower in a ceremony attended by some of her friends. And she even changed her name to reflect the “marriage.”

She claims to have Objectum-Sexual. About 40 people in the world claim to have this, and they are all women.

Ms. La Tour Eiffel also claims affection for the Berlin Wall and a piece of fence she keeps in her bedroom.

We really don’t want to know what she does with the fence, nor whether she has consummated her “marriage” with the Eiffel Tower.

Just when we think we’ve seen it all, people surprise us. People really are strange.
