EKO HOT BLOG A Russian woman has shocked family and friends after getting married to a briefcase she dated for five years.
According to reports, Rain Gordon, from Russia, bought her future “husband” in a hardware store five years ago.
She tied the knot with the case, who she named Gideon, in a ceremony in June this year, officiated by a pal.
The 24-year-old said that although she has had relationships with men in the past, she was always more attracted to objects than to people, and she was always happier in her relationships with objects..
Rain, a Nursery school teacher from Moscow, Russia said: “My fascination with objects began at the age of eight.
“From my childhood I believed that a soul is embedded in objects, as well as everything around us. I believe in animism, which means that there is life in everything.
“During my childhood and early teenage years, I fell in love with places such as the new shopping centre that opened in my city. I knew that it was wrong, and beyond the norms of society. I didn’t tell anyone.”
Speaking about the briefcase, she said: “I had no idea that we would end up together. I admired how he looked, but I didn’t think anything more.
“But then I started liking Gideon for more than that. I slowly realised I was starting to fall in love.
“I’d want to look at him for hours and feel his presence. After another few months in November the relationship began.
“We shared our first hug and kiss, and we spent more time together in the evenings and nights. We could have philosophical conversations for three or four hours.
“Our spiritual connection and communication is shown telepathically. I hear him, and he hears me, but from the outside it looks like a monologue.
“Gideon is more than just a partner to me. He is a husband, a friend and a mentor. “His moral support helps me more than anyone else. Sometimes I feel like Gideon knows me better than I do.”
