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.
She won't be the only one smelling of tuna.
Feh!
From a book on Dolphins I read back in the 70s. I still have it somewhere here in my library.
Flipper was female.
I scuba dived with dolphins in the Bahamas. :-)
Uh, this is satire, right??
How do you circumcise a dolphin?
Nope, not satire. Saw it on the news this evening. LOL!
Found the book.
"The Mind of the Dolphin"
Quite a good book actually.
I also have his other book; "Man and Dolphin" as well.
I think it's something to do with Original Sin.
We'll see how serious it is if he runs off with the piano tuna in a year or two...
I am surprised it took this long. I mean I bet people will be lining up to marry their dogs. This has opened the door to that.
Meanwhile, back at the Ranch, Bud confesses his undying love to flipper, and vows to elope.
Brother Sandy, having already left the Florida Keys, was unavailable for comment, but is believed to be living with a promiscuous mermaid somewhere in the Caribbean.
Do you know why clams don't like sharing the sea with other creatures?
Their Shellfish!
So, did you get any?
Their Shellfish!
Just like what those two fish said to each other when they ran into the big concrete wall in their lake.
Dam.
Given the extent of your personal library, this doesn't surprise me.
Southpark is the modern day Nostradamus!

Uhh.....yeah. Okay.
There's something "fishy" about this story.
