Photos: Woman Who Married A Tree Celebrates One Year Wedding Anniversary.

A 38-year-old English woman, Kate Cunningham, has celebrates her first wedding anniversary with her ‘husband’, a tree at Rimrose Valley Country Park in Sefton, Merseyside, England.

She got married to the tree named Elder in September 2019.

Kate stated that she doesn’t care what anybody says, she added that the tree makes her feel good about herself.

“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.

“I’ve changed my name to Elder. So even that gives me a whole new feeling. It fits in with married life as well, I feel like a changed person.”

The mother of two also added that her son wasn’t in support of her marriage at first but now he has agreed to it.

“Despite causing a little bit of embarrassment for my 15-year-old, he sees the bigger picture now and understands what it’s for.

She also gave details of how she met the tree and decided it was the one.

Kate said: “One day I was looking around tree hunting. I was like ‘oh yeah nice, nice, nice’ as I looked at the oaks, but as soon as I saw the elder, I thought ‘that’s the one’. “It doesn’t look like anything else around.

“This one stood alone amongst the tree. “Often I like to talk to the tree, I say hello and thank you for your good energy. I just feel like trees are people.

“You know if you feel attracted to someone or smile at them as you walk past, there’s just a natural attraction.

“Trees and flowers are the same. I like the story behind the elder tree.”

She has called for the creation of an annual ‘Marry A Tree Day’ and encouraged more Brits to wed their local shrub.
