A Wild Wedding

By Linda Tancs

Weddings can be a strange affair.  You’ve heard of underwater weddings, sky diving weddings, Halloween-inspired weddings, and so on.  Well, in a primate rescue center in Dorset, England, you can now have a wedding amongst the largest group of chimps outside of Africa.  In June, Monkey World in Dorset, a 65-acre refuge, acquired a wedding license.  At least one couple has married on the grounds since then, serenaded by the cacophony of some of the most abused and neglected monkeys in the world.  Sort of gives animal magnetism a whole new meaning.
