The woman who married the eiffel tower

Some people love objects. Like really love them. It’s called Objectum-Sexuality, where people have a love orientation towards objects.

Erika Eiffel was one such person and when she visited the Eiffel Tower in 2004 it was love at first sight. Four years later she had a commitment ceremony and changed her name to reflect the bond to the famous landmark.

She said some people “feel an innate connection to objects. It comes perfectly normal to us to connect on various levels, emotional, spiritual and also physical for some.” She also had a relationship with the Berlin Wall. In 2015 she had to end her relationship as she was told by staff to stay away from the Eiffel Tower. She is now seeing a crane.
