Marry Your Pet

July 28, 2015

IF marriage is primarily for emotional fulfillment, then why not marry a pet? Dominique Lesbirel “married” her cat and then her dog. She is the operator of Marryyourpet.com. According to The Mirror:

Dominique was inspired to set up the site after her cat Zeus was tragically run over and killed.

“I felt really depressed and nobody seemed to get it,” she said. “People just kept saying, ‘Come on, it’s just a cat,’ but it wasn’t to me.

“We have such a strong bond with our pets, but if you tell people you’d rather go home to your cat than go out, they look at you like you’re insane.

“With a human, you can point to a ring to show you’re committed to each other but with pets, there’s no one moment of joy to mark that bond.

“Pets are loyal and adoring so I wanted to create something to celebrate that.

“We all need that unconditional love, but it can be hard to find with a person, especially when everyone withdraws behind their phone or laptop screens, so why not look to a pet instead?”
