Rabbit-loving bride-to-be can't wait for wedding... 

A rabbit lover has proved she is hopping mad – by changing her name to Bunny. Bingo hall worker Sharon Finegan, 28, runs an animal sanctuary from her home and looks after 15 rabbits. And she is so devoted to her hobby that she has decided to change her name to Bunny Sharon Alice Finegan. Sharon will use her crazy new moniker when she gets hitched to fiance Morgan Green, 36, in Grangemouth, Stirlingshire, on September 1. She said: “I’m really looking forward to saying, ‘I, Bunny Sharon Alice Finegan’ in my vows on my wedding day. It should be a lot of fun. It seems the right thing to do as my friends have called me Bunny for a long time. The idea came about when we were feeding the rabbits. Morgan suggested, as a joke, that I should change my name to Bunny as that is his pet name for me. I thought it would be a good idea to do it properly. I love animals but rabbits have always been my very favourite pet so the name Bunny suits me through and through. The hardest part will be changing my official documents but I can’t wait to see my new name on them – especially given what I do with the rabbit sanctuary. You can actually call yourself anything you like, as long as it’s not rude".

Brighton-born Sharon, who lives with Morgan and his daughter Kiah Gallagher, four, in Stenhousemuir, opened her sanctuary last year and runs it as part of the charity Fairly Beloved Rabbit Care. The couple take in abandoned rabbits, nurse them back to health then help the charity find them a new home. She will use the name change to raise cash for the charity.
