Sharon Tendler met Cindy 15 years ago. She said it was love at first sight. This week she finally took the plunge and proposed. The lucky "guy" plunged right back.
In a modest ceremony at Dolphin Reef in the southern Israeli port of Eilat, Tendler, a 41-year-old British citizen, apparently became the world's first person to "marry" a dolphin.
Dressed in a white dress, a veil and pink flowers in her hair, Tendler got down on one knee on the dock and gave Cindy a kiss. And a piece of herring.
"It's not a perverted thing. I do love this dolphin. He's the love of my life," she said Saturday, upon her return to London.
Tendler, who said she imports clothes and promotes rock bands in England, has visited Israel several times a year since first meeting the dolphin.
When asked in the past if she had a boyfriend, she would always reply, "No. I'm going to end up with Cindy." On Wednesday, she made it official, sort of. While she acknowledged the "wedding" had no legal bearing she did say it reflected her deep feelings toward the bottlenosed, 35-year-old object of her affection.
"It's not a bad thing. It just something that we did because I love him, but not in the way that you love a man. It's just a pure love that I have for this animal," she said.
While she still kept open the option of "marrying human" at some stage, she said for now she was strictly a "one-dolphin woman".
She's hardly the jealous type, though.
"He will still play with all the other girls there," she said, of their prenuptial agreement. "I hope he has a lot of baby dolphins with the other dolphins. The more dolphins the better."
Dierna note: She married Cindy on porpoise!

It gives new meaning to the childhood saying, "I love it so much I'm going to marry it!"

No, I think it's almost exactly the same meaning as it was before.
But now I know how to find a woman who'll marry me, frolick in the sea for 35 years

Nicoll, yeah but how many of us actually marry the things we say we will? I'm pretty sure just the other day I said I was going to marry a radio station (even though I was in fact being sarcastic). But I've never actually gone and married stuff I said I was going to marry.
So...it's new meaning in the sense of follow through.

couple of things to bear in mind
1. It's not a real marriage
2. She did it for a laugh after her friends teased her for being single.
Some people take the silliest things more seriously than they ought

Uhm... how did the dolphin actually say "Yes, I do!"? I'd have enough trouble saying it as it is, it'd be a lot harder if I was a dolphin...
As for romantic candle-lit dinners, holding hands, and going shopping together, I guess they're out of the question.
... on second thoughts, it's not a half-bad idea!
No credit card to "borrow", though.

All the advantages of a Dolphin, plus the credit card(s). Now I understand why Svenja is trying to get rid of the camera.

I think the excitingness levels of both events are equal.
how do you measure excitingness? and is this what 0 excitment feels like?

But people are getting married all over the place, just look! All the novelty's gone out of it.
Also, I find it interesting that Nicoll and Polson always seem to post in the forums together, or at least within a short period of time of each other...

You couldn't make the effort to wait for more than 20 hours to try and prove us wrong? That does say a lot.

Hey now, Ray, just because "an eternity", in this case, is a lot shorter in Nicoll's reckoning than everyone else's... give the poor lad a break. Waiting isn't always easy, you know?

You know, there's a Kady out there who is going to read this and try to do the same thing just because it sounds cool and someone else did it. Of course, if you're copying someone else, you're no longer "being different" are you? Well, I'm still sure there's a Kady out there who is going to go try this. *L*
On a completely different unrelated-in-every-possible-way note, how would a polar bear look in a tux?

Wait...what is Kady going to try and do? Accuse Nicoll and I of having an affair or marry a Dolphin?
For the record...Nicoll didn't have time to post later. He had to build a house with a porch and a walk in closet and a kitchen island. He's a busy man.
That and he's trapped on the side of a cliff with the David while Kim has been kidnapped by the evil Hobbie who is working for the evil Hal and meanwhile HAS TO STOP A WEDDING!

When did polson become the expert of what Nicoll is doing? 
Nicoll can't build a house because Polson tied him up outside Majin's igloo.
