British woman marries her beloved dolphin in Eilat ceremony
Edited on Thu Jan-12-06 01:11 PM by hadrons
Till death do us part? An unusual wedding ceremony was held in the southern resort town of Eilat on Wednesday, as Sharon Tendler, a 41-years-old Jewish millionaire from London married her beloved Cindy, a 35-years-old dolphin, Israel's leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported Thursday.


The groom, a resident of the Eilat dolphin reef, met Tendler 15 years ago, when she first visited the resort. The British rock concert producer took a liking to the dolphin and has made a habit of traveling to Eilat two or three times a year and spending time with her underwater sweetheart.


....

Cindy, escorted by his fellow best-men dolphins, swam over to Tendler and she hugged him, whispered sweet nothings in his ear, and kissed him in front of the cheering crowd.


After the ceremony was sealed with some mackerels, Tendler was tossed into the water by her friends so that she could swim with her new husband.


"I'm the happiest girl on earth," the bride said as she chocked back tears of emotion. "I made a dream come true, and I am not a pervert," she stressed.


Tendler said she and her newly wed husband will probably spend their wedding night bowling.


"But what kind of children would they have?" one of the children in the crowd asked his father.

4. When you're a millionaire

it doesn't matter if your significant other. has a job or not. I hear that male Dolphins are quite sexually agressive, even towards humans.

8. That is true..
a friend worked at Marine World USA when it was down in Santa Clara. He was a marine biology student at Hayward started there by cleaning the various tanks. He often told stories about how the make dolphins would get "fresh" with the divers -- esentially humping them up against the glass.

9. Life imitates Sharyn McCrumb
Woman-on-dolphin marriage is featured in McCrumb's 1996 "If I'd Killed Him When I Met Him...". Hopefully Ms. Tendler (Mrs. Cindy?) will avoid the fate of McCrumb's interspecies bride, who drowned while horsing around with her new husband in the pool...

I don't suppoise Sharyn ever wrote anything about box turtles? :eyes:

10. Gee, I wonder how the dolphin gave his consent?
I would think that such would be considered a neccesity, but apparently if you have millions it isn't.

11. An erection, the universal sign of consent.

12. Well yeah, but that isn't neccesarily a sign of marital consent
Just means he wants to fool around a bit.
