The mayor of Mexico married a crocodile?

According to the British "Daily Mail" reported in July 1 Sunday, a strange wedding was held in Lula, San Pedro Warme, southern Mexico on June 30th. The groom is the mayor, Victor Aguilar, and the bride is a little female crocodile in white gauze.

At the wedding, the little crocodile wore a white gauze on his head, like a real bride. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the safety of the groom and others, the mouth of the little crocodile should be firmly tied.

The little crocodile bride will walk around the town and be baptized by the local aborigines. After that, the groom will hold his "bride" and dance with local residents under the fishing nets that they use to fish all the year round. After the ceremony, the mouth of the little crocodile bride will be untied to eat.

It is reported that the "marriage" between the mayor and the crocodile is a symbolic traditional ceremony in the local area. The purpose is to pray for a bumper harvest of local fish and good luck for fishermen. In order to achieve this goal, the local mayor marries a new female crocodile every year.
