For Amanda Rodgers, true love came in an unexpected form: her dog, Sheba.

In a unique and heartfelt ceremony, Amanda "married" her loyal pet, showing the world just how much Sheba means to her.

A Wedding Like No Other

The ceremony took place in Split, Croatia, surrounded by 200 supportive friends and family. Amanda, wearing a handmade wedding dress she had dreamed of since childhood, sealed her love for Sheba with a kiss.

“Sheba had been in my life for years, making me laugh and comforting me when I felt low,” Amanda shared. “I couldn’t think of anything more I’d need from a life partner.”

The ceremony wasn’t legally binding, but for Amanda, it was a powerful way to celebrate the bond she shares with Sheba. “She’s never unkind to me and is always happy. It was a wonderful moment,” Amanda said.

Finding Love After Heartbreak

Amanda, who lives in Brixton, London, turned to Sheba for comfort after a tough divorce. Their deep connection inspired Amanda to propose—getting down on one knee and interpreting Sheba’s wagging tail as a resounding "yes."

“Sheba has been my rock,” Amanda explained. “I know it’s unusual, but this was about honoring the love and companionship she brings to my life.”

Defending Her Decision

Amanda later appeared on a popular UK morning show to explain her decision. Speaking to the hosts, she said, “There are different kinds of love. My love for Sheba is very deep. We have an incredible bond.”

When asked about her romantic life, Amanda admitted that Sheba has a say in her relationships. “Men don’t come near the bedroom unless she agrees,” she joked. “Once, I made a man sleep in the dog bed for a week.”

A Love That Brings Joy

While Amanda’s unique relationship has raised eyebrows, her joy is undeniable. Sheba’s loyalty and unconditional love have given Amanda the happiness and comfort she had been seeking.

“She knows she’s loved,” Amanda said with a smile. “And honestly, I’m proud to say I’m her human.”
