STRANGE!!! Man Marries Crocodile In A Lavish Party, See Why
A Mexican mayor has married a crocodile during a bizarre ceremony as a part of an age-old tradition to ‘bring luck’ to local fishermen.
The female crocodile – referred to as ‘The Princess’ – was baptised on Thursday then subsequently wearing a custom-made bridal gown and had her jaws clamped shut for the large day on Friday.
She also wore a veil as she was paraded through streets, amid band music.
After the procession, the reptile was married to the mayor of San Pedro Huamelula Victor Aguilarand within the government building.
The croc got hitched as a part of a ritual which has been practised by the Chontal Indians since 1789.
They believe the ceremony will bring good luck and prosperity to local fishermen along the Pacific Coast of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in Oaxaca state.
According to custom, the crocodile is considered a princess, and it’s believed she is going to bring peace and prosperity to their community.
Mr Aguilar said: “The parents [referring to the local residents], call her ‘The Princess’.
“So the role that I play is to be the husband of the princess.”
A wedding guest said afterwards: “The dance they are doing here is like a suggestion to God, to thank for the land, the harvest, the fish.”
