Mexican mayor weds female crocodile (Video)

The mayor of San Pedro Huamelula, a town in southern Mexico, married Alicia Adriana, a female crocodile.

This customary wedding ritual has been followed for 230 years and has significant cultural importance.

Between the indigenous Chontal and Huave communities of southern Mexico, the rite symbolizes harmony and peace.

The marriage is arranged by the mayor, who assumes the role of the Chontal king and represents the cherished “princess girl” in local legend.

The mayor emphasized the significance of love in a marriage throughout the ceremony by expressing his dedication and affection.

“I accept responsibility because we love each other. That is what is important. You can’t have a marriage without love… I yield to marriage with the princess girl,” the mayor, Victor Hugo Sosa, stated during the ritual.

Preceding the ceremony, the crocodile is taken to various households for dancing, adorned in elaborate attire while its snout is secured shut for safety purposes.

The wedding itself takes place at the town hall, where a local fisherman offers prayers for abundant fishing and prosperity.

In a joyous celebration of cultural fusion, the mayor joyfully dances with his reptile bride, spreading happiness among the people.
