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.
What about *her* mom? How does she brag about her new son-in-law? "My son-in-law the doctor, -er uh dolphin..."
SOON TO BE A COMMON OCCURANCE IN MASSACHUSETTS,BUT LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE, IF THE MARRIAGE DOESN'T WORK OUT YOU CAN ALWAYS EAT THE GROOM. (SIC)
But if the dolphin didn't break the glass under the chuppah, how could the wedding conclude? ...not to mention the reading of the Talmud translated by the Rabbi into their native tongue,.....I wonder what that sounded like....(rapid series of nasal chirplike squeeks in Morse code???)
Yep, this "marriage" will soon be on the rocks....or should that be on the coral?
Life imitates South Park yet again.
I think she must've confirmed his circumcision before the wedding.
I would hope so. The statistics on mixed marriages are not encouraging.
Well, she may have a "whale" of a good time, but I guarantee you, in a couple of weeks she'll be complaining that he doesn't listen and spends too much time with his buddies.
FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.
Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.
"I wonder if she fell in love on... porpoise."
WOW! TOO MUCH!!
LOL BUMP!
This sounds like an Israeli Scrappleface article.
Dolphins are hung...
And it's legal? What is wrong with these people?
...on top of being unbelievably naive and foolish. Given over to a strong delusion...for that is also exactly what this is dilusional to the point of being insane.
"But what kind of children would they have?" one of the children in the crowd asked his father."
Out of the mouths of babes BUMP!!
Consumating that marriage is going to be interesting.
A Lawfin?
