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.
Rush did a segment on this once on his radio show.
Apparently if a dolphin likes you, he'll extend the finger of friendship....
"Mme Royal & Dauphin"
I'm thinking this all comes down to that email exchange in that post with Mark Admans.
"Each person has a right to choose her own morality."
The left have NO morals, values or beliefs and don't want to be held accountable for their actions.
I bet this is what started veganism. The left can't bond with other humans and went and started PETA because we are eating all their sex toys.
Actually, I think "Cindy" the dolphin is female. However, the article quotes Sharon as saying "I am not a pervert." So it's all good.
DRESSED all in white, eccentric millionairess Sharon Tendler ties the knot with the love of her life... a theme park DOLPHIN.
Sharon - a 41-year-old rock concert producer from London - fell for aquatic star Cindy 15 years ago on a visit to the resort of Eilat in Israel.
She immediately took a shine to the 35-year-old mammal - a male despite his girly name - and returned several times a year to swim with him.
Finally she decided this fin was bigger than both of them and approached trainer Maya Zilber to ask for Cindy's "hand" in marriage.
And yesterday, in front of hundreds of bemused tourists, Cindy rose from the water for a poolside kiss and cuddle following the bizarre ceremony.
After a mackerel reception, Sharon said tearfully: "I'm the happiest girl on earth. I made a dream come true, and I am not a pervert."
Cheers, though!
You have a list?
I don't know that I believe this. Gotta be a hoax. I mean, really, a dolphin named Cindy?

Look, as long as she's not a pervert...
She only loves the dolphin becaise he gives great nose.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas.
I did for the most part, albeit the flu that decided to hit me on Tuesday. Feeling fine now.
At least we don't need worry about a significant other winding up in a can of tuna. ; )
(Tell em Charlie sent ya...)
Gotta say, this entire thread threw me for a loop. I've NEVER heard of anyone being physically obsessed with sea life!
Word has it that Flipper tried to stand up and pitch a fit when they came to the part of the ceremony, "Does anyone here object to the union of these two??"
"As to perversion, dolphins are sexually promiscuous..."
I remember reading a newspaper story years ago about a woman who quit a job tending dolphins when she was told she would have to masturbate them as a reward process.
Well, we need to come up with a good list of wedding reception songs here....
Theme Song from Flipper
Oh, baby, baby, it's a Wild World
Born Free
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except for Me and My Dolphin (with apologies to John and Paul...)
You Are So Beautiful to Me
Under the Sea (as well as most of the Little Mermaid soundtrack...)
Please chime in!
And remember, only the best tuna get to be StarKist.

I'm not going to hit your link, and I feel a little ashamed for asking this, but how does a woman have sex with a dolphin... and not drown in the process?
LMAO! Funniest comment on the thread!
