Mrs Meg Avon, 28, was blessed in holy matrimony with the River Avon. The Bristol-born wellbeing facilitator, activist and writer explains how she and her “darling” still keep their romance alive.

She married the River Avon in a “joyful” ceremony to protect it and raise awareness of water pollution on June 17, 2023.

Meg - née Trump - says she and the river have never been happier.

She said: “We're still in the honeymoon period and I’m still pretty obsessed with the river.

“I wake up thinking about the river, my life's quite shaped by the river, I’m always thinking about when I can next spend time with the river.

We all have a relationship to water, but for me, it’s a wifely sense

“I'm spending a lot of time with other rivers, but I think that’s OK. They are all one.

“But it’s a pretty fluid and open relationship. We all have a relationship to water, but for me, it’s a wifely sense - I think we've got a pretty strong connection and commitment to each other.”

The wedding ceremony was not just a bonding ritual between Meg and the river - but also a “non-oppositional and joyful act of protest”.
