Bottlenose’s bride a widow

By Never teh Bride

A marriage that ended too soon

The wacky British millionaire who made headlines after she married a dolphin in 2005 is now a widow. In December, Sharon Tendler, 41, tied the knot with a male Tursiops truncatus known as Cindy, 35, after a fifteen year long friendship. Sadly, Cindy passed away on June 18

…and like all creatures of the deep was given a burial at sea.

“Cindy swam slowly and he had problems eating. Sometimes he didn’t eat at all. He vomited and did not look good,” Maya Zilber, manager at the Eilat reef’s training center told ‘Ynetnews’.

Reef workers put Cindy’s body in a boat and sailed into the sea where they parted from it.

I, for one, hope that Tendler recovers and one day will be strong enough to search for another aquatic husband (because, hey, that’s entertainment!). Should she find a new true love, she may want to consider this cake topper from Island Wedding Shop:

Together they are faster than lightning!

    having sex with dolphins but it stated that it shouldn’t go the other way around b/c it could be very uhm, painful.

    oh dear god.

    It would never have worked out. She’s an Englishwoman; he was a bottlenosed dolphin apparently shiftless and unemployed throughout his life. That’s no basis for a family.

    …together they fought crime!!!

    (giggles)

    Besides, who wants a husband who smells like raw fish and seaweed all the time? *bleh.*




  8. Teaqa Says:

    Lol. Why is that not against the law (please forgive my ignorance on the subject)?




  9. Never teh Bride Says:

    Perhaps it was a religious, non-civil ceremony, Teaqa. Of course, one wonders what religious the majority of dolphins actually are…

    [...] Personally, I’m still partial to the ever-popular monogamous marriage, but I’m not about to deny two or more consenting adults (humans, that is–dolphin and snake lovers can step aside) their chances at happiness. According to Truth-Or-Fiction.com, the odds they’ll stick together are better than I thought. [...]
