Personal project where I got to be the client for a change (concept, copy and PR).

In today's crazy world we are increasingly selfish. Divorce is rife and families are dysfunctional. We no longer fall in love with the boy next door and live happily ever after. Yet throughout all this we have our pets. In it's first two weeks, MarryYourPet had over 100,000 visitors. It has since married over 100 happy couples, and has been featured on TV and radio all over the world.

Isn't it time you married your pet?
