Now That’s Just Crazy
We don’t always have a choice about who we fall in love with. Take, for example, London’s Sharon Tendler, a 41 year old rock concert producer. As I was reading in Underwater Times, Tendler met and, apparently, fell in love with a handsome dolphin – yes, I said dolphin – while vacationing in the Israeli resort town of Eliat some 15 years ago.
The two have been seeing each other two or three times a year, Israel’s leading newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth reported April 26. As Underwater Times relates:
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.
Now, it’s confusing that the dolphin, a male, is named Cindy, but I’m open-minded so I got got over that. And who is to say they won’t have a happy marriage? As Henny Youngman said, “The secret to a happy marriage is still a secret.” An excerpt from the happy tale:
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 chocked back tears of emotion. “I made a dream come true, and I am not a pervert,” she stressed.
No one said you were, Sharon. You can marry a dolphin named Cindy if you like. But I am skeptical about the honeymoon plans: “Tendler said she and her newly wed husband will probably spend their wedding night bowling.”
Give me a break. Everyone knows dolphins don’t bowl. That’s just crazy.
