Weekly news - rave or rant?

The world has gone barking mad!

A woman married her dog in surreal scenes on Tuesday's This


The bride wore a close fitting white dress and a white fabric rose on her head. Yes, it was on her head - not tucked behind her ear or pinned to one side. It lay on top of her head, almost like a separate entity, at least five times the size of the head it was supposed to adorn. 

Waiting for her was the groom - her dog. That's correct, it's not a typo. I didn't mean to type God, as in adored fiancee. 

A dog - that's  who she was marrying. 

Unsurprisingly, the groom (goes by the name of Logan) looked miserable and was probably there purely out of loyalty to his mistress (soon to be his wife). Also, despite the impending nuptials, since he is a dog, I don't think he had a choice, poor thing.

The bride walked down the 'aisle' with TV presenter Eamon Holmes, who was giving her away. He should have walked her in the direction of some medical professional and given her away there, but of course he didn't. The exploitation of woman and dog continued live on daytime TV.

Someone sang a song, someone else (apparently a Love Island contestant) was the 'best man' (highly debatable) and yet another person 'officiated', where ridiculous vows were made (don't ask), bracelet and ring were exchanged (once again, don't ask) and they were declared 'dog and woman' (talk about stating the obvious).
This Morning woman marries dog

This does give one pause for thought. Note, I've resisted the temptation to say 'paws', I just don't think it's punny (oops!). Seriously though, how low does one stoop to get viewers/publicity?

Did the producers think it was funny and since it involved a dog, people would think it cute and go 'awwww'? If they did, they definitely barked up the wrong tree (apologies again).

What about the 'bride'. Apparently, she married her dog because she could not find a good man (can't imagine why). I'm not taking her side, but perhaps that rose on her head was blocking oxygen supply to her brain.

She didn't look as if she was fully present (to put it politely) and ITV should know better from their past experiences.

I will now get off my soap box and call it a night - I don't want to feel ruff tomorrow morning :)
