Brit Jew marries dolphin (British woman marries Israeli dolphin)
YnetNews ^ | December 29, 2005 | Joe Kot
Posted on 12/30/2005 6:19:30 AM PST by NYer
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-year-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.
"The peace and tranquility underwater, and his love, would calm me down," the excited bride said after the wedding.
After a years-long romance, Tendler decided to embark on the highly unusual path of tying the knot with her beloved dolphin. Last week, she approached Cindy's trainer Maya Zilber with the extraordinary request.
Zilber accepted the challenge and "talked the idea over with the fellow," who apparently consented.
'I'm not a pervert'
And so on Wednesday afternoon, the thrilled bride, wearing a white dress, walked down the dock before hundreds of astounded visitors and kneeled down before her groom, who was waiting in the water.
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 choked 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.

"I made a dream come true, and I am not a pervert,"
Sounds like, IMHO, she knows otherwise...or why have to say it?
I know of no one, who after a normal, traditional marriage, has to think or say such things to rationalize what they have done.

Yikes, a male dolphin named "Cindy"? How gay is that?
Dolphins are way down on the list of mammels I'd like to have sex with.

Goofy as this story is, you do have to view it as a further disintegration of morals, certainly of spirituality. Obviously the rite of marriage is made a mockery of.
As to perversion, dolphins are sexually promiscuous and they do "molest" humans in the same way your cocker spaniel might be happy to see your leg. Some folks have even been injured as a result.

How did they consummate the marriage...?
The same way that prevert animal psychologist once in charge
of a govt. program to train dolphins did...no doubt..
Anyway Cindy is a stupid name for a male dolphin....wonder why she hung that albatross around his neck. (metaphorically speaking)

You know, if the woman and the dolphin are happy, who gives a flying fig? It's a free country and people (and, er, fish) should be free to do as they please! C'est la vie! But what really gets my goat about this is that they plan to spend their wedding night "bowling"! Fish or marine mammals or whatever DO NOT BELONG IN A BOWLING ALLEY! They get the floor all slimey and they take for-freakin-ever to bowl a single frame. Plus all that high-pitch dolphin laughing is really distracting for other bowlers! Dolphins in the damn Bowl America! What has this world come to?
