Rain Gordon bought her future "husband" in a hardware store five years ago
(Web Desk) - A woman who says she is romantically attracted to objects has opened up about marrying a briefcase - and says her new "husband" is the love of her life.
She tied the knot with the case, who she named Gideon, in an online ceremony in June this year, officiated by a friend. 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.
The young woman first met her "future husband" back in August 2015 after purchasing him at a hardware store as a prop for a photoshoot.
She said that as time went on she felt herself falling in love with the briefcase.
Nursery school teacher Rain said their relationship became official a few months later in November 2015, and the rest is history - with the pair finally tying the knot in June this year.
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.
"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."
Rain added that despite branching out into a new relationship with a man in 2017 - while still in a relationship with Gideon - but said she could not connect with him in the same way, and would always choose Gideon over another man.
After five years together, Rain and Gideon got married in June this year and the pair even have special wedding rings with individual engravings on them.
The pair were wed by a friend online, and while Rain recognised that the marriage is unofficial and not legalised, she is the happiest she has ever been.
