In the video posted to YouTube, Chervenak says, “In a sense my smartphone has been my longest relationship. What I hope my wedding will do is somehow act as a symbolic gesture to show how precious our phones are becoming in our daily lives”. Since the event was non-legally binding, the phone can legally bail on its husband. Chervenak is also allowed to use other phones or deactivate the relationship for an upgrade at any time. (source)

Davecat, the online pseudonym he prefers to go by, bought his now wife from Abyss Creations in 2000. He spent a year and half saving up $6,000 to buy a real-life version doll, which he calls Sidore Kuroneko. Although made of silicone, Sidore is “anatomically correct” and has an exact resemblance to humans.

According to Davecat, Elena and Sidore are really good friends and keep each other company during the day, when Davecat is at work. “Not only do Synthetiks remain the same, but they’ll never cheat on you, lie to you, judge you, or show any other characteristic that can make Organiks unpredictable”, says Davecat.

A small percentage of humans are naturally born as OS, which means that they are naturally drawn to objects rather than human beings. People with OS have the inclination to develop significant relationships with inanimate objects. One such case is Erika Eiffel’s, the tower crane operator and former award-winning archer. In 2008, Erika married the Eiffel Tower and changed her surname to Eiffel. When the whole world became aware of Erika and her wedding ceremony, a British documentary maker made a film about her and spread misconceptions about her relationship. Soon after that, Erika lost her job at the tower, and her sponsors did not want anything to do with her, thus forcing her to quit archery. Erika had to break off her relationship with the Eiffel Tower and move to Germany, where she is currently working as a crane operator and slowly building a new relationship with her crane. (source)

According to reports, Tracey married the rock wearing her father’s white funeral shroud. In an interview, she explained, “It just means that at the moment I am not alone; somewhere on a hill facing the sea, there is a very beautiful ancient stone, and it’s not going anywhere. It will be there, waiting for me. The other thing about the stone is that it could be quite monstrous and scary. Instead I saw it as a protection thing as opposed to a fearful thing”. (source)

In 2018, Akihiko Kondo took his wedding to a different dimension. The 35-year-old married Hatsune Miku, a singing hologram that uses a voice synthesizer to perform in sold-out shows worldwide. When he sent an invitation to his mother to attend the wedding, she refused to accept the hologram as her future daughter-in-law. In fact, none of Kondo’s relatives attended his wedding to Miku. Nevertheless, Akihiko Kondo walked down the aisle with his beloved wife. He explained to CNN, “Society pressures you to follow a certain formula for love, but it might not make you happy. I want people to be able to figure out what works for them”.

The marriage isn’t legally binding in any aspect and Gatebox, the company whose devices can broadcast a hologram of Miku, has issued more than 3,700 marriage certificates to people who want to wed a hologram. Around 40 guests attended the wedding ceremony where Kondo held a cat-sized stuffed doll of Miku. (source)

In 2005, Kevin Nadal, 27, a Filipino-American performance artist and PhD student in counseling psychology, took his vows – “I, Kevin Nadal, take me, Kevin Nadal, to have and hold, in sickness and health”; then threw a bouquet. The wedding ceremony took place in New York City with more than 125 guests attending. “Everybody said it was the best wedding they’d been to. Even if some people initially didn’t understand what I was trying to do, they came round in the end”.

What Kevin was doing was hosting an event that would celebrate the single life. “I’ve attended at least a dozen weddings, and I have bought tons of gifts for those couples. And don’t get me wrong, I’m happy to do it. But I started thinking: we always celebrate married life, why not single life? Single people are marginalized in our culture. People think you don’t have the commitment to be in a relationship or you’re too picky”. So, Kevin walked down the aisle to prove a point. (source)
