A Liverpool mother has said she has found a new purpose in life - as she celebrates the first anniversary of her wedding to a tree.
Kate Cunningham, 38, changed her name to Elder upon the union and reckons the marriage is the best decision she's ever made. She said has no plans to divorce her hubby, who resides at Rimrose Valley Country Park in Sefton, Merseyside.
Kate lives a polyamorous lifestyle, married as she is to her tree husband, while also having a human boyfriend - as well as two kids. They were left at home as she celebrated the anniversary with two friends and some elderflower champagne.
She said she immediately knew the tree was 'the one' and visits her husband up to five times a week.
Kate explained: "I think getting married was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
"Not once have I thought that I shouldn't have done it. It's something that I feel like happened at the right time.
"Despite causing a little bit of embarrassment for my 15-year-old, he sees the bigger picture now and understands what it's for.
"It's something which has made me feel a bit more confident about myself. I don't care about what anyone else says.
"Marrying the tree has given me a new purpose."
