Erika Eiffel, née LaBrie, is the most famous person to have married an inanimate object.
In 2007, after an emotional three-year courtship, Erika finally wed the Eiffel Tower.
Today she remains happily married, and has since made the most of her fame by founding a web community for others who feel attractions to inanimate objects.
While this is sometimes referred to as objectum-sexuality, or objectophilia, it is by no means a purely sexual matter.
Erika Eiffel, as befits a spouse, feels an emotional attachment to the Eiffel Tower. Mrs Eiffel had previously been in a relationship with the bow she used to compete in archery, called Lance.
