A resident of the British city of Leeds, Yorkshire, intends to enter into an unofficial marriage with a candelabrum. This was reported by The Daily Mirror. The 35-year-old British woman is planning a lavish wedding with her beloved candelabrum because she identifies as an object-philist - which means that she is attracted to inanimate objects. She is currently in several "open relationships". “I'm not sure what dress I will wear and I invite those closest to us,” says the bride.
Amanda is determined to share her extraordinary love with the whole world. The woman gave the chandelier the name Lumiere and has already bought wedding rings. She claims to take care of his appearance and polish him almost every night. “I know that many people think my attraction to candlesticks is strange, but I'm not crazy,” the woman assured. Earlier, the Briton changed her last name because of her love for the New York Statue of Liberty. She even ran a social media poll. The users felt that the best option for her would be Amanda Liberty. However, it turned out to be too difficult to maintain a relationship at a distance, so they had to part.
Despite the fact that Lumiere became her chosen one, she still retains her love for the statue. The woman decorated her home with memorabilia depicting a famous landmark. Although the Leeds native admits that she will not be able to get married officially, she will do her best to prove that her love for Lumiere is real and quite equal to traditional marriage. “I am determined to hold an oath-taking ceremony to prove that I exist for Lumiere and that my love will be eternal,” the British woman told the Daily Mirror.
Amanda bought Lumiere in Germany through an online store. After the purchase, she refurbished the 91-year-old candelabrum. The woman claims that this greatly strengthened their relationship and is not embarrassed by the age difference, which is 57 years. “I spent 400 pounds sterling (about 32 thousand rubles - Gazeta. Ru) to deliver it from Europe, and it was love at first sight,” the woman said. The girl admitted that she carefully takes care of her lover. She wipes and polishes it every night. Liberty has a collection of thirty antique chandeliers, but this is the first time she is married to a piece of furniture.
The celebration is scheduled for the end of 2019. Amanda has already purchased wedding rings, but she did not choose a dress. As the woman says, it should be special and radiate an energy similar to Lumiere. “We haven't booked anything yet, I have friends all over the world and I want them all to be there. I don't want a wedding without a lot of people. I don't want it to be just me and Lumière,”Amanda explained.
Weird marriages have been very popular lately. So the 28-year-old US writer David Sikorski in 2015 married a burrito - a rolled beef sandwich. The man explained this choice by the fact that he was tired of watching couples in love on social networks. David decided to go in search of his beloved and found her at a local eatery. Without thinking twice, the writer decided that he needed to get married. He set up a burrito wedding photo shoot in the most beautiful places in San Francisco: the Golden Gate Bridge, the Palace of Fine Arts and Central Park. The writer posted the pictures on Facebook with a romantic headline: "The only and true love."
In 2010, two strange weddings took place in Asia. Chen Wei Ying, a 30-year-old resident of Taiwan, is tired of being constantly reproached for not being married. But never finding a worthy partner, she married herself. She called her wedding "Only & Only Wedding" and spent her happiest day walking around the city with a bride's bouquet and a photographer.

A former serviceman from San Francisco - Erica - found herself in Paris and fell in love with the Eiffel Tower. From year to year, she came to her chosen one, until in 2008 she decided to legalize this relationship and change her surname to La Tour Eiffel (translated from French - Eiffel Tower). By the way, before the romance with the main French landmark, Erica had other close relationships - with the fence on her land. According to her, she still keeps some of it. Another subject of her passion was the Golden Gate Bridge in her hometown.
