Woman marries Dolphin...

Sharon Tendler met Cindy 15 years ago. She said it was love at first sight. This week she finally took the plunge and proposed. The lucky "guy" plunged right back.

In a modest ceremony at Dolphin Reef in the southern Israeli port of Eilat, Tendler, a 41-year-old British citizen, apparently became the world's first person to "marry" a dolphin.

Dressed in a white dress, a veil and pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on the dock and gave Cindy a kiss. And a piece of herring.

"It's not a perverted thing. I do love this dolphin. He's the love of my life," she said Saturday, upon her return to London.

Tendler, who said she imports clothes and promotes rock bands in England, has visited Israel several times a year since first meeting the dolphin.

When asked in the past if she had a boyfriend, she would always reply, "No. I'm going to end up with Cindy." On Wednesday, she made it official, sort of. While she acknowledged the "wedding" had no legal bearing she did say it reflected her deep feelings toward the bottlenosed, 35-year-old object of her affection.

"It's not a bad thing. It just something that we did because I love him, but not in the way that you love a man. It's just a pure love that I have for this animal," she said.

While she still kept open the option of "marrying human" at some stage, she said for now she was strictly a "one-dolphin woman".

She's hardly the jealous type, though.

"He will still play with all the other girls there," she said, of their prenuptial agreement. "I hope he has a lot of baby dolphins with the other dolphins. The more dolphins the better."

Raph's Girl not: She married Cindy on porpoise!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 01-05-2006, 04:07 AM

AHAHAHAH! ahahaha..

Oh man, the world's going crazy on me...

Tsk-Tsk

If this woman has a divorce you think she'll have to play in dead fish?

"It's not a perverted thing"

HAHAHAHAHA!

*XERO* · 01-05-2006, 01:09 PM

I guess it's safe to say that the dolphin's the smarter of the couple.

I wonder it it'll ever 'flip her'. (Flipper.)

**Jester** · 01-05-2006, 01:23 PM

Don't knock it...

This is my wife Lulu the chimp. She's a great housekeeper, cook, and mother. Gaw, I love her so much.

One day, my head will just explode in front of the display.

*Spitfire* · 01-05-2006, 01:37 PM

So people can marry other species but people of the same gender can't get married....idiots.

**Jester** · 01-05-2006, 02:06 PM

I've thought of that...it does seem like mairage is no longer sacred. Heterosexuals can't fight for the sancity of mairage when people are allowed to marry a dolphin, or a chimp.

*Katie* · 01-05-2006, 03:12 PM

*looks up at the various puns...*

Ohmilord.....a dolphin??? A DOLPHIN? *sigh* To each her own, I suppose. Hey anyone else wonder why the male dolphin is named Cindy? Is it a male dolphin? Can you have same sex dolphin marriages?????

**Jester** · 01-05-2006, 03:16 PM

NO!!! Interspecies marriages are cool, but same sex marriage BAD!

Peanut · 01-05-2006, 05:08 PM

What about same sex interspecies marriages?

~~SurfGuru133~~ · 01-05-2006, 05:25 PM

Thats totally wack man!!! If anything like that happened here I would hurl majorely

**Jo Dawn** · 01-05-2006, 05:29 PM

Technically... she did say that the 'marriage' was not legal... so it wasn't a real wedding.

And all I can say about this is...

Now some fangirl who thinks the TMNT are real is gonna go name turtle after the TMNT and marry one of 'em.

hazlov2004 · 01-05-2006, 05:43 PM

hmmmmm very well put jo dawn

*Raph's Girl* · 01-05-2006, 05:58 PM

In the Soap Opera called Passions there was an orangutan who fell in love with a human...they got married and even had a baby...

*The Stryker* · 01-05-2006, 10:23 PM

I'm tired of living in sin with my goldfish!

**Jester** · 01-05-2006, 10:47 PM

Great one Stryker. I'm glad it's not legal, it'd set marriage back several hundred years.
