A 33-year-old church organist from Pennsylvania is planning to marry a magic carpet fairground ride.
Amy Wolfe claims to have objectum sexuality, a condition that makes sufferers attracted to inanimate objects.
She has been 'courting' the attraction, an 80ft gondola ride called 1001 Nachts, for a decade. According to the Daily Telegraph, Wolfe travels 160 miles to visit the attraction up to 10 times every year. It is estimated she has taken approximately 3,000 rides since first visiting the theme park at the age of 13.
"I love him as much as women love their husbands and know we'll be together forever," she said. "I was instantly attracted to him sexually and mentally.
"I wasn't freaked out, as it just felt so natural, but I didn't tell anyone about it because I knew it wasn't 'normal' to have feelings for a fairground ride."
Wolfe sleeps with a picture of the ride on her ceiling. She also carries its spare nuts and bolts around in a bid to feel closer to the machinery.
"I'm not hurting anyone and I can't help it," she added. "It's a part of who I am."
After the wedding she plans to change her name to Amy Weber, in honour of the manufacturer of the attraction.
Easy now its only human nature to have a light heart, and lets be honest the subject is funny
Salaam brother.
I admit I found it funny at first.
I heard some people are attracted to manga drawings... o_o
I was looking at myself talking to myself and I realized this conversation...I was having with myself looking at myself was a conversation with myself that I needed to have with myself.
May Allah help these people and guide them to the right path. Ameen
This is very disturbing. Inshallah these people shall come to their senses...

Honestly I just can't laugh at such non-good weirdness or sickness. Guess that part of human nature ain't in me.
I even heard of a man marrying himself by using a mirror to say 'I do' twice. Am not sure though if it was considered legal later on.
It blows my mind what kind of oddness exists, subhanAllah.
Amiin, inshaAllah.
Totally understand where you coming from, I think humour is a way for ppl to deal with a very disturbing thing. I have to say I am not luaghing at the ppl with the affliction tho

^ Yeah, now as you mention it bro. I've heard of people laughing at funerals, so I guess I can understand this type of reaction too, although I think it's sad.
One shouldn't continue for long, y'know, one doesn't want to get sins just 'cause others misery is funny. As a kid I was taught not point and laugh at such things, because it could come back at me. Same as if you go praising your religiousness to others and look down on others, one day it'll be like switched places. Astagfirullah.
But that's off-topic.

Jazak Allahu Khyran sister for telling it straight

Our Lord! Verily, we have heard the call of one calling to Faith: 'Believe in your Lord,' and we have believed.
Our Lord! Forgive us our sins and expiate from us our evil deeds, and make us die (in the state of righteousness) along with Al-Abrar
