UK’s First River Wife

“You cannot legally marry a river in the UK, but the law is changing…”

My Wedding

My unconventional union is a symbolic act of love and protest, spotlighting my deep connection to the river and the urgent need to protect our waterways.

On my wedding day, I vowed infront of witnesses to love and care for the river - as it cares for me -

until death do us part”.

My ambition is to help find a way that this river, the Bristol Urban Avon, can help people fall in love for thousands of years to come.

Through poetry, through peformance, through cermony and through conversation - always with a focus on joy and union.
