Erika Eiffel
Erika "Aya" Eiffel, formerly Erika LaBrie, is an American woman who famously "married" the Eiffel Tower[1][2][3][4] in a commitment ceremony in 2007.[5]
She is a founder of OS Internationale, an organization for those who love inanimate objects. She has been featured as a spokesperson in a wide variety of publications, and on radio talk shows and television programs.[6]
She is a former archery champion and US military member. She continues to compete at an international level as an archer.
She first encountered the Eiffel Tower in 2004, and felt an immediate attraction.[1]
Her love for the Eiffel Tower is the subject of numerous newspaper articles and a television documentary. Regarding the attraction of herself and other similar people to inanimate objects, she is reported by ABC News as saying that she and others "[...] feel an innate connection to objects. It comes perfectly normal to us to connect on various levels, emotional, spiritual and also physical for some."
In April 2009, on the second anniversary of her "marriage" to the Eiffel Tower, she appeared on Good Morning America discussing how her object love empowered her.
