英国一名狂热爱圣诞节的男子最近打算跟一棵与他相伴两年的塑料圣诞树结婚,不过还没有找到愿意为他们主持仪式的牧师。
Andy Park, 47 - who is known as Mr Christmas - has eaten Christmas dinner every day for the past 17 years, says the Orange News website. He admits that his friends think he's crackers1(精神错乱的) .
But, according to the report, he insisted: “I love my Christmas tree more than anything else, so that's why I want to marry it.
“I've already got a ring, although I'm not sure yet which branch I'll want to hang it on.
“The only problem seems to be finding a vicar(教区牧师) who is willing to do the ceremony.”
Park reportedly said that although he'd only had the plastic tree for two years, he felt it was like “his best friend” and he is never tired of seeing it sitting in his living room.
He said: “I can't see why we can't be joined in matrimony(结婚,婚礼) . I've heard of other people marrying their pets and so on, so why can't I get hitched2(结婚) to my tree?”
Park began celebrating Christmas in 1993 and since then he's estimated to have eaten more than 6, 000 Christmas dinners, the report said.
He says it started when he felt “bored” and “fed-up” one July and putting up decorations had made him feel so happy so he decided3 to carry on.
