Man Gets Married To an alligator,  kisses it In Front Of Guests 

A rather amusing event has caught the eye of people where, the mayor of a tiny village in Mexico married an alligator in what has been described as a “really beautiful tradition” , Aso Naija reports.

Victor Hugo Sosa, Mayor of San Pedro Huamelula in Oaxaca, married a an alligator dressed in a wedding gown in a colorful ceremony on Thursday, June 30.

To avoid any mishaps during the wedding, the reptile’s jaw was fastened together.

Sosa confirmed their marriage with a kiss on the face of the reptile.

The alligator was then carried through the hamlet by locals, as men lined the streets, fanning the newlyweds with their hats.

The strange marriage is supposed to extend back centuries and is a tradition of Oaxaca state’s Chontal and Huave indigenous populations.

We ask nature for enough rain, for enough food, that we have fish in the river,” said Sosa.

The seven-year-old reptile is thought to symbolise Mother Earth as a divinity. Her marriage to a local leader is intended to represent the unification of humanity and the divine.

She was dubbed and called his “little beautiful princess” by wedding guests.
