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."
