Selvi Selvakumar, after a rousing tick dip, wore her bridal dress well and upon inquiry, responded simply, 'woof'. It is expected that a pre-nup received her paw-mark at the insistence of the groom as 'she had nothing when I met her!'
The Massachusetts Supreme Court is expected to rule in his favor.
How’s the missionary position working out for them?
Well, it is a cute dog.
Anyone who is against this happy union is a right-wing Christian conservative.

I guess that the bride’s family was not invited. The groom will end up with doggie breath. I also wonder if the bride will be admitted in the US when the husband immigrates. (The ACLU is already looking into the matter.)
All cultures are equal.
Celebrate Diversity.
Doggie Ping!
I’m guessing this was his best alternative.
A nine-year-old tribal girl in eastern India has married a stray dog as part of a ritual to ward off an "evil spell" on her, Indian newspapers have reported.
The girl, Karnamoni Handsa, had to be married quickly because she had a tooth rooted to her upper gum, which is considered a bad omen by her Santhal tribe in the remote village of Khanyhan, about 60 kilometres (37 miles) from Calcutta.
"Members of the village jury asked us to get her married to a dog or to face the bad omen," the girl's father was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency.
The tribe elders said the marriage would not affect the girl's life, and that she would be free to marry again later and did not need to divorce the dog.
"It will not spoil her future. We will marry her off to eligible bachelor when she grows up," the girl's mother told AFP.
'No regret'
The wedding - which took place on 11 June - was attended by more than 100 guests, who danced to the beating of drums and drank home-made liquor.
"I have no regret in marrying the dog Bacchan. I am fond of the dog who moves around our locality," the girl told the AFP.
"Bacchan is a stray dog who survives on left-overs. I will take care of the dog," she added.
Indian newspapers reported that local police officials had ordered an inquiry into the incident.
The Santhals - most of whom are sharecroppers - are a large tribe living in the states of West Bengal and neighbouring Bihar and Jharkhand.
How was the honeymoon? On second thought, I don’t want to know.
Nothing new. My first wife was also a dog.
Are you sure they are not “barking up the wrong tree?”
