Robert Pattinson Married!? 'Twilight' Fan Lauren Adkins Weds Edward Cullen 'Cardboard Cutout' In Las Vegas, 'Romantic' Honeymoon Follows [PHOTOS]

Several "Twilight" fans are obsessed with Robert Pattinson's sexy vampire alter-ego, Edward Cullen. But 25-year-old Lauren Adkins recently took things to extremes - when she married a cardboard-cutout of the 28-year-old British heartthrob in a romantic Las Vegas wedding ceremony.

No - this is not a hoax.

The Masters of Fine Arts student from the University of Nevada Las Vegas presented the nuptials as part of her art exhibition thesis entitled "Love Is Overtaking Me" back in March.

In a recent interview with UK's The Mirror, Adkins reveals how her infatuation with R-Patz first began:

"For as long as I can remember I've been ­obsessed with romantic fairytale endings... When I was a child, I watched the Disney ­versions of Snow White and The Seven Dwarfs and Cinderella until the tapes wore out."

Adkins never had luck dating, so when the teen witnessed the magestic onscreen romance infamously known as Robsten, she was hooked:

"It was different from any love story I'd seen ­before - after all, the leading character was as likely to suck your blood as open the door for you. I was obsessed. Leading man Edward was quiet and ­mysterious, yet superhuman and invincible. And so sexy... I tore through the books and I queued outside the cinema when the film was released, desperate for my first glimpse of Edward. And when Robert Pattinson appeared on screen at midnight, he was perfect. I knew that very minute I wanted to marry him."

Love at first (cinematic) sight?

Then came along the six-foot tall cardboard replica of Pattinson found in a record store. Adkins snagged the fake Cullen for $20, and started bringing him around - everywhere.

The connection quickly grew from there. So, Adkins figured she'd make things "official."

"A friend who thought I was going mad said one night: 'If you love him so much why don't you marry him?' Her words rang in my ears. She was right. Why didn't I?," Adkins tells the tabloid.

So they "tied the knot" at Sin City's Viva Las Vegas Wedding Chapel last January. The reception was held at an art gallery with a small gathering of friends - there was cake, champagne, the whole shebang.

Adkins explains:

"We had our honeymoon in LA and I wanted us to climb up to the Hollywood sign together.... I had to carry him, and we had to do it at night because he can't be in the sun. But everyone makes sacrifices for the man they love, right?

We got hitched in Las Vegas last year and I’m sure we’re happier than most newlyweds... 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."

Crazy, or sweet?

Wonder if Kristen Stewart's ex would ever agree to meet this diehard fan in "real life."

For now, rumors suggest that he's dating aspiring songstress, FKA Twigs.
