Here's something that you have to quote from The BBC because otherwise nobody will believe you.
At least 70 women have "married" dozens of trees in a ceremony aimed at highlighting building plans which could see the trees' removal from the site.
Organisers said they were worried about the threat posed by proposals to build 166 apartments on land in Bristol.
Yes, it's true. And look how proud this mum was.
One of the brides said, and I'm actually quoting her here – this is not a joke:
"To get married to a tree is an absolute privilege. It's not just a sentimental gesture, it is highly significant and symbolic. Trees are pure examples of unconditional love, which fits in so beautifully with the whole idea of marriage. Marriage is for life, breathing is for life."
"Breathing is for life."
As if without these 74 trees you will not be able to breathe in Bristol any longer.
And what about the trees? Did anyone ask for their consent?
Or are they just going to have to stand around for the next 30-40 years and listen to these women talk.
And talk.
And talk...
You get the idea.
No, seriously though, these ladies are protesting a real thing: deforestation. And sure, go ahead, do your thing. But these are 74 trees.
74 TREES!!!!
There are 3.04 TRILLION trees on our planet.
So ya might wanna find something else to complain about.
And get this:
The planning application, from Goram Homes and developers Hill, which has not yet been approved, is for 166 homes, including about 66 social and affordable housing units.
Affordable housing.
Isn't that nice?
Ladies, you're protesting affordable housing.
Good job!
Oh, and congrats!
I'll just leave this here at the bottom:
