In a rather strange turn of events, a
woman has vowed against men and
married her pet dog. 47 year old
Amanda Rodgers from Brixton in
south London was married to a man
20 years ago, but the relationship
unfortunately lasted no more than a
few short months, so dismayed she
decided to swear against men and
turn to dogs.
Amanda states that the reason she
decided to wed her pet dog was
because she had all the qualities that
she was looking for in a life partner:
“Sheba had been in my life for years,
making me laugh and comforting me
when I was feeling low.”
Proceedings started out in a
traditional way, when Amanda got
down on one knee and proposed to
her pet dog, Sheba. Though the dog
could not respond, Rodgers says that
she “could tell by her tail wagging that
she said yes.”
More than 200 people attended the
wedding which took place in Split,
Croatia. Rodgers embraced the day
fully making sure that everything was
to her liking, adding that: “I’d
dreamed of a perfect wedding dress
since I was small, I made it myself for
the ceremony. The day was
wonderful, more fun than the
marriage. I gave her a kiss to seal the
deal and then everyone threw
confetti. It was a wonderful moment.”
Despite it being a rather strange
situation, Amanda doesn’t care what
other people might think: “I know the
wedding to Sheba wasn’t real in the
legal sense. But was a nice way to
mark what Sheba means to me.
Sheba’s never unkind to me and she’s
always happy.”
