Wasn't it adorable when Ryan Gosling fell in love with a fake girl in Lars in the Real Girl? Sure it was, because that's Hollywood... but what about when a real man falls in love with a mannequin? Currently 38-year-old New York man Ned Neffer is pushing his wife in a wheelchair from Syracuse to Watertown to the spot where they first met—she is, by the way, a 6-foot-tall mannequin named Teagan. The Watertown Daily Times reports that the two have been together since the early 1980s, and finally said their vows in 1986. Originally Teagan just had a head, but once he knew she was the one for him, he had a body built for her.
A social welfare examiner told the paper, "This is definitely one of the very oddest things I've ever come across, but he seems very happy. I wouldn't classify him as dangerous at all. He seemed quite happy in his own little world."
Their journey has gotten a lot of attention on the internet, and Nefer says, "that's great, I guess, but she's really the star." He added, "We both really love the outdoors." If you do, too, maybe you can "Like" their Facebook page (set up by their fans). Maybe one day they'll make it onto Taboo, like that lady who married the Berlin Wall.
