WEDDING HUMOR Animals& Weddings By Jessie Sinitch Throughout history, humans have illustrated a prevalent penchant for long term stability with another person who they view as romantically and sexually attractive. The human need for distinct and palpable affirmation of their commitment to their significant other has coined the term ‘marriage.’ Marriage has crept its way into latent aspects of society, becoming a critical objective in many people’s lives. In magazines, movies, and books, everyone seemingly wants to live “happily ever after with the one they love,” accompanied by a successful job and a manageable household pet. But what happens when your manageable household pets want to do the same? What happens when your household pets fall in love? Do they get married, too? Are they grumpy or moody around you and your significant other - or should I say, otter? In 2012, amongst the twinkle of Central Park’s promising lights, a Coton de Tulear, Baby Hope Diamond, and a poodle, Chilly Pasternak, marched their way down an aisle and happily married. Cumulatively, the wedding was $158,187.26 - an amount that was labeled the most expensive pet wedding ever by the Guinness World Records. Baby wore a satin, peach-colored gown that complemented the black spots gleaming over her white, furry body. The groom, Chilly Pasternak, decided to dye his fur blue and purple, accordingly. Chilly didn’t just dye his hair, though, he also dressed with style - wearing a black and white tuxedo that had a hot pink stripe and an intricate golden border. In 2014, Kim Dalton and Garette Ziem held a wedding in St. Petersburg Beach. As the wedding began to take place, abruptly, two llamas dressed in lavender tuxedos made their way into the Baby wore a satin, peach-colored gown that complemented the black spots gleaming over her white, furry body. The groom, Chilly Pasternak, decided to dye his fur blue and purple, accordingly. ceremony. Dalton broke into tears, not believing what her husband had done for her amidst their enchanting wedding at the Postcard Inn Hotel. Ziem spent an additional $500 for these two furry creatures to appear on their special day to add an air of the bizarre to their ceremony. In the Indian culture, elephants are a sacred idol, symbolizing happiness and abundance. Their connotation is why elephants have become such a prominent part of Indian weddings. Normally, the groom will arrive at the Baraat (Indian wedding procession and ceremony) on an elephant. Sometimes, he will even bring the elephant to a halt and dance with his friends and family. Some people, even apart from the Indian culture, will travel to Thailand and have an ‘elephant wedding ceremony,’ where a couple can celebrate their love amongst a flowing, tranquil river and Asian elephants that roam freely. Whether animals (outside of human beings) can participate in romantic attraction is still unknown, however, many scientific studies show that animals’ brains are similarly wired to humans; hence, an animals’ ability to feel emotion. So, if you feel that your furry ball of joy, Nemo-looking clownfish, or sassy, grumpy cat has found a ‘special someone,’ before you become hesitant in regards to advancing its or their relationships - think again.
