A woman is celebrating her third wedding anniversary after marrying a river.
Mrs. Meg Avon, 29, was blessed in holy matrimony with the River Avon in the South West of England.
The Bristol-born researcher, activist, and writer explains how she and her “darling” still keep their romance alive as they celebrate their third anniversary.
She married the River Avon in a “joyful” ceremony to protect it and raise awareness of water pollution on 17 June 2023.
Meg – née Trump – says she and the river are still “very much in love” three years on.
Meg said: “I am still finding time to swim in the river every week – even in the winter when it has been particularly wet, which always feels riskier!
“But I am committed, and every experience I have in the water is lush.
“I’ve even been finding new ways to connect with the river – from swimming in various spots along the stretch to meeting people from various art and environmental communities at different points.”
The keen open water swimmer said their campaign for water protection is still “very much” in the public consciousness – particularly with the recent release of the C4 doc ‘Dirty Business’, which explores the UK sewage crisis.
Meg said, “It really is lovely to see the recognition.
“People still really connect with our local story and how much it influences the wider national story.
“A lot of the law feels incomprehensible and hard to reach and understand for a big majority of the population, so having a story that makes it relatable is so powerful.
“We all understand marriage because it’s about love and law – the governing forces!”

Sure. How long before she’s at somebody else’s stream?

Too much kookdom to cover in one sitting.
Yep some have to latch onto anything they can get and it can’t say no.
I want to marry a Howitzer. Will the government let me keep her in the front yard?
