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!”

Maybe yes, maybe they’ll insist that you live together under one roof. Maybe a shed could be made more lovely, cizy and comfortable, as a house might be to small for the bride - and the basement not solid enough, as she is unfortunately not a featherweight…
Ol Man River, he jes keep rollin’ along.
He don’ plant taters
He don’t plant cotton
And he don’t love no deluded women.
Yes.
Now some of them are that way because of mental illness and some are that way because of drugs, physical injury or some sort of disease but some just enjoy being kook-koo.
These people have always existed and sometimes even passed for normal (Goodwin Wharton being an example) but we did not write news stories about them and pretend they were ok. We knew they weren't. And felt sorry for their families so while we talking about them, (who could sit on a story that good?) we did so politely behind their backs.
I thought marriage and all that it entails required consent. What consent did the river give?
If we take her at her word, she is raping or enslaving the Avon -- take your pick -- and the Brits should send her to jail. Nonconsensual is nonconsensual.
Unless, of course, she's become a Muslim, so raping and enslaving would probably put her in a protected class in the UK today ....
This marriage has 100% chance of inbreeding.
Let me guess—his name is Eddy.
Currently, yes.
She took that Joni Mitchell song, too literally.
She has a lot of water on the brain.
Go with the flow, darlin’
The Miss Ebonics pageant only has 49 contestants. Nobody would wear the sash with "Idaho".
“I wonder how the river proposed. Candlelight dinner? Down one knee? Soccer pitch during a break in the match? What does she get in a divorce? What is the river’s gender identity?”
,, , and incidently .. . how come HER side of the bed is ALWAYS wet?
She claims it knows how to make her moist, even wet.
