LOVE Island’s Molly Mae may have proved you’re never too old to cuddle up to your childhood toy after ensuring her stuffed elephant ‘Ellie-Belly’ was involved in all aspects of her time in the villa.
But one bride has reached out to ask if she’s taking her love of her teddy too far by admitting she wants her cuddly bear to come with her down the AISLE as she gets married.
The anonymous woman took to Facebook to admit she’d been considering holding her childhood stuffed pig toy in place of a bouquet for her nuptials.
She wrote next to a picture of the teddy: “Is anyone walking down the aisle with their childhood cuddly toy? I have Squealer had since I was seven. I still sleep with her because if not my arms feel so empty.”
And while Islander Molly Mae may be championing acceptance of adults that still sleep with cuddly toys, most people were convinced that this was taking it too far.
Taking to the comments, one woman replied: “Okay, so when I was two I was going to MARRY my favourite blanket. By the time I was four, I decided instead I’d wear it as a veil.
“By five, my father was threatening to burn it so I didn’t let it out of my sight and took it everywhere. Now, I still sleep with it, but it can stay at home and wait until after the wedding.”
Another agreed: “I am married and have always had a fluffy rabbit, but I would never dream of having it at my wedding let alone walking down the aisle with it.”
“I have loads of stuffed toys on my bed but they don’t need to walk me down the aisle though,” chipped in a third woman, with a fourth adding: “It’s cute, but not to walk down the aisle with.”
Others were less sympathetic of the woman’s attachment to her little toy, telling her to go and see a ‘therapist’ and to ‘grow up.
“This is anxiety disorder which she needs to address with a therapist,” one said, while another agreed: “I think it’s time to see a family therapist.”
“This is a seriously stupid idea,” wrote one woman. “You need to grow the f*** up.”
While a third cruelly wrote: “How the actual f*** is someone marrying this woman (assuming this is the bride and not the groom) and my a** is still single?”
“Why don’t you cut off the ears and turn it into your garter?” concluded one man.
What do you think?
In other news, a bride broke with tradition by asking all her guests to wear WHITE to her wedding as she didn’t want the day to be ‘all about her’.
While a woman revealed she had declined the invite to her sister’s Caribbean wedding after she charges her £10,000 per person to go.
And a bride was cruelly slammed for her ‘slug monster’ wedding dress.
