Mexican Mayor Ties The Knot With An ALLIGATOR Wearing A Wedding Dress (Photos)

A Mexican mayor married an alligator dressed in a wedding gown and sealed their marriage with a kiss.

Mayor Victor Hugo Sosa of San Pedro Huamelula married an alligator as part of an age-old indigenous ritual to bring abundance to the village in southwestern Mexico.

The seven-year-old reptile known as Little Princess is thought to be a deity representing Mother Earth, and her marriage to the local leader represents the union of humans and the divine.

Traditional music rang out and revelers danced while imploring the indigenous leader to kiss his new bride in a colorful ceremony.

As the mayor carried the alligator bride in his arms through the streets, trumpets blared and drums provided a festive beat, and men fanned it with their hats.

The jaws of the alligator had been tied shut to prevent any unwanted biting during the ritual.

The godmother who organized the wedding, Elia Edith Aguilar, said she spent a lot of time worrying about what the bride would wear.

“It gives me so much happiness and makes me proud of my roots,” says godmother Elia Edith Aguilar.

‘It’s a very lovely tradition.’

She added that being entrusted with carrying out the ceremony was a privilege and that she spent a lot of time worrying about what the bride would wear.

Victor Hugo Sosa is the mayor of the Mexican village of San Pedro Huamelula.

Traditional music was played during the ceremony, and revelers danced while imploring the indigenous leader to kiss his new bride.

As the mayor carried the alligator bride in his arms through the streets, trumpets blared and drums provided a festive beat, and men fanned it with their hats.

The ritu@l marriage most likely dates back centuries to pre-Hispanic times among the Chontal and Huave indigenous communities of Oaxaca state.

It’s similar to a village prayer pleading for nature’s bounty.

‘We ask nature for enough rain,’ said Mayor Sosa.
