They say true love can be found in the most unexpected places. One woman in Britain found it in the linen closet.

Pascale Sellick grabbed headlines when she went on the British TV show, This Morning , in 2019 to declare her love for her blanket and announce that they were getting married.

Please Come In Appropriate Attire
The dress code? Why, sleepwear, of course! Dressing gowns, onesies, slippers – and feel free to bring a teddy bear, too.
But Wait, There’s A Twist
Later in the conversation, Schofield revealed that Sellick actually had a human boyfriend named Johnny. Oooh, a love triangle?

However, she reassured the hosts that Johnny wasn’t jealous of the blanket, and the blanket wasn’t jealous of Johnny, either. In fact, all three of them snuggled together in bed all the time.

Sellick said, “Around Valentine’s, people could feel a little bit lonely. So…take some time for self-worth, self-care…and marry your bedding. Why not?”
It Was A Fun Gimmick
Good to know it was all just a fun gimmick because, as Schofield noted, there have been some bizarre weddings between humans and inanimate objects in the past (a man and his mobile phone? Seriously?).
