Woman marries Dolphin

In Eilat, apparently an English woman named Sharon Tendler, 41, of London, married a dolpin named Cindy, 35, of Eilat. Apparently, they know each other for quite some time already, in fact they met 15 years ago. For the full story, click Woman marries Dolphin.

I found it through a posting on Divester.com which by the way is an excellent dive blog, and here is how they comment it, and I can only agree (and thus scavenge;-)

"Of course, all scuba divers just love dolphins. But when I read about Sharon Tendler recently, I wondered if perhaps she hadn’t taken her love of dolphins just a bit too far. Dressed in a white dress, a veil, and sporting pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on a dock in the southern Israeli port of Eilat and married a dolphin. After she kissed the 35-year-old dolphin, she gave it some fish. And then she went swimming with it. Ah…there’s nothing purer and more wonderful than true love. Oh, who am I kidding? The whole story, frankly, is just too freakin’ bizarre.

First, the dolphin – a male – is named Cindy. Second, although Sharon is leaving open the option of “marrying human” in the future, for now she’s strictly a “one-dolphin woman.” Which is a bit strange, I think, because according to Sharon , she arranged a pre-nup, which allows Cindy to “play with all the other girls” in the ocean. “I hope he has a lot of baby dolphins with the other dolphins. The more dolphins the better," she said.

Among the approximately 3 million other questions I have, I wonder how one arranges for a pre-nup with a dolphin? How did Cindy sign it? What lawyer in their right-mind would draft this agreement? I wonder if their first dinner as a couple was held at The Red Sea Star? If you need to see it to believe it, I found some video of the ceremony."
