\"Photo<\/a> What do you think this lady is doing? No she is not a Dolphin trainer at the Seaworld. She is marrying a dolphin!<\/a><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just say she finally took the plunge<\/em>!<\/p>\n

\n

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\u2019s first person to \"marry\" a dolphin.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"It\u2019s not a perverted thing. I do love this dolphin. He\u2019s 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\u2019m 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.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I am sure with dolphin at your side, the \u2018River bed<\/span>\u2018 takes a whole lot of different meaning! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
