Woman announces plan to marry her duvet

A woman is planning to marry her duvet as she claims it's the 'most intimate and reliable relationship' she's ever had.

Pascale Sellick, 49, is organising a lavish ceremony with the help of a wedding planner to celebrate her love for the bedding.

The artist, who describes herself as a "rude, crude, spectacular exhibitionist", issued an open invitation to anyone wishing to celebrate with her.

She said: "My duvet is the longest, strongest, most intimate and reliable relationship that I have ever had. That's because it has always been there for me and gives me great hugs.

"I love my duvet so much I would like to invite people to witness my union with the most constant, comforting companion in my life.

"There will be music and a ceremony, laughs and entertainment."

Pascale will be wearing a nightgown, dressing gown and slippers for the big day, but she's keeping her husband-to-be's outfit a surprise.

Guests have been asked to wear dressing gowns, pyjamas, onesies, and slippers with the option of also bringing cuddly teddies or hot water bottles if it's cold.

She said: "This is the most out there art happening to date. I'm really pleased to be involved.

"Valentines day can be depressing for lots of people so hopefully this will lift peoples' spirits.

"It would be wonderful if folks could shake off their English reserve and rock up in their sleepwear for a bit of light-hearted frivolity."
