Twilight fan spends R35,469 on Vegas wedding to cardboard Edward Cullen

25 year-old Lauren Adkins married the life-size cardboard image of vampire Edward Cullen from the Twilight movies.

“We got hitched in Las Vegas last year and I’m sure we’re happier than most newlyweds," Adkin was reported by www.mirror.co.uk as saying.

"People might think I’m crazy but my flat-pack R-Patz is the closest I’ll get to the real thing and he’s the one for me.

"When I was a child, I watched the Disney ­versions of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella until the tapes wore out.”

"I held the reception at an art gallery and ordered champagne and a five-tier cake to share with my 50 guests.

"The day cost £2,000 but I didn’t care – I wanted to do it properly.
