A woman who fell in love with a zombie doll aged 13 has revealed she married the inanimate object and says her world is now complete.
No emotional reaction from the doll has been shared with the press as of yet, but do watch this space because it could be the making of the next great Netflix true drama. It takes all sorts, after all.
Felicity Kadlec, a 21-year-old from Massachusetts, wedded the doll, named Kelly Rossi, who she claims is 37 years old and, funnily enough, has no birth certificate to identify a birthplace.
Felicity says she’s been in a relationship with the ‘female’ doll since she was 16, after finding Kelly on a ‘creepy doll‘ website at 13 and developing romantic feelings three years later.
Now, it seems, the happy couple are enjoying matrimonial bliss – if a doll is capable of experiencing human emotion, that is.
The ceremony, which took place in Tiverton, Rhode Island, cost Felicity $500 (£388), and was also attended by four of her family friends and eight of Felicity’s other dolls, who ‘watched’ her wed the ‘love of her life’.
Images of the wedding show Felicity in a ‘beautiful’ white wedding dress, lovingly embracing the toy, who was dressed in a tuxedo for the occasion but deigned not to wash the blood, white makeup or black smudges off its face – or tidy up its teeth.
In an amazing display of affection, Felicity said:
Kelly is the most valuable one! She’s been my world for years. Our wedding ceremony was beautiful and perfect – exactly the way I dreamed it would have been.
I made sure that the whole wedding was done properly so it would be as official as possible, and we consummated the marriage afterwards.
She continued to explain their gender identities:
Kelly was the groom as she takes the male role in our relationship, she is a tom boy so wore a suit – I feel she was most comfortable as the groom.
Despite having been in a relationship with Kelly for four years, getting married to her has made me feel so much closer to her, both emotionally and intimately.
A video of the ceremony shows Felicity’s other dolls standing at the altar, and Felicity, who now lives in Vinita, Oklahoma, picking up Kelly for their matrimonial kiss.
Despite Kelly’s zombie-like appearance, Felicity claims she loves her doll deeply and wouldn’t change her for the world.
She said:
I married Kelly but only because I accept her for who she is, I look past her bloody face and I don’t mind her not having a jaw.
Now, could your partner say that about you?
