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!”

She definitely should be committed.
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?
Are some people just nutcases?
I was gonna say...
“Did the river ever have a chance to say no?”
Sounds non-consensual to me.
Maybe she got the spirit of the river to sign a consent form.
In my youth I had a wonderful river with benefits. I would bring it chicken and it would give me crabs.
Must need a damn big condom
What a great risk for a life insurance policy!
Two bagger
Crazy but doesn't have to marry a river to change a name she probably really hates. Or does she as it's the UK?
At least her bloodline self-terminates.
“I’ve even been finding new ways to connect with the river”. Strange.
I think you mean "dam big condom"...
Good luck when you present a honeydoo list
I have news for her. The river is cheating on her with the Severn Estuary at Avonmouth.
Her mate is going to wander away.
