I've heard of people marrying ghosts (review post: The real version of "Man's Ghost Love", middle-aged women fall in love with ghosts, and they are ready to get married!). ）。
Never heard of people marrying animals.
Lo and behold, a single mother from London, decided to stay with her pet cat all the time, and then...
One person and one cat for a lifetime, people and cats hold weddings, complete life events, and create unusual moments!
At the wedding, the bride was Deborah Hodge, 49, a single mother with two dolls (true human cubs).
Staying with a cat named "India" for life is not the bride's decision to pat her head on the head!
In the words of the bride, it is a mature decision that has been deliberately used to "fight against hating the landlord".
People who have rented a house must know that there are some landlords, that is really a lot of things, do not want tenants to keep pets, raise pets and even people with animals to blast away...
But then again, it's not easy to escape the "no pet rentals" restriction, but it's rare for tenants to marry animals without saying a word!
"Lost" three lovely "family members"
It starts with Deborah Hodge's experience.
Before marrying cats and cats, the single mother was forced to leave her two dogs and one cat because the landlords she met said NO to their pets.
Deborah Hodge, forced to make a living, had to find a new home for her pets she had kept for years again and again.
She said: "I never thought that I said goodbye to my pet in this way, and during that time, even with two children around, I obviously felt depressed. “
In other words, the blow forced Deborah Hodge to move again, but she didn't want to repeat the same mistakes.
So how to prove to the new landlord that "children and cats are the same" has become a tricky problem.
Host a wedding Where people and cats never separate
In 2017, the cat, named "India," came into Deborah Hodge's life.
The landlord at that time wanted to let her send the cat away or ask her to leave with the cat like other landlords, but it turned a blind eye to see that she was very friendly to the cat.
In 2020, "India" went out to play as usual, only to be hit squarely by a car and lose a cat leg, after which the cat became more dependent on Deborah Hodge.
In March of this year, fate made another joke to the single mother: losing her job, facing the inability to pay the rent, and needing to quickly change to a cheap place to live...

She thought that moving again wouldn't be a problem, and that new homeowners wouldn't accept what "India" should do.
The more I think about it, the tighter my brow wrinkles, the closer I want to move!
In this case, Deborah Hodge came up with a solution:
marry!
This is one way to prove that cats are family...
So she preemptively held the wedding, hoping to be with "India" regardless of the new rental conditions.

Deborah Hodge told the media: "By marrying 'India', I told my future landlord that we are a whole and cannot be separated under any circumstances because this cat is for me the most important family member after two children. “
The "human-cat couple" were married on April 19 in a park in south-east London, meowing their vows under the gaze of Deborah Hodge's friends.

At the wedding, she hugged "India" and said: "I have nothing to lose, and I never expect unexpected surprises, marrying my cat is my commitment to it, I would rather live on the street than leave it."
So, today we are here for our wedding, and we are taking vows in the presence of you and the universe so that no one can separate us anymore. “

After the wedding, the bride was relieved.
Many of Deborah Hodge's friends came to the wedding with an attitude of "not understanding but respecting", she must have been crazy, must have lived too hard, must have been too sad before the separation, and only then did she make this decision...

Deborah Hodge's two children say it's understandable that mom didn't want to be separated from the cat, but now she may be a little disoriented.
People and cats were expelled to the point of marriage, which is also really tragic!
But with Cat company, Deborah Hodge's life would be better...
