Mexican Mayor Marries Reptile for Luck, Love, and Peace

The mayor of San Pedro Huamelula in Mexico, Victor Hugo Sosa, has married a female caiman named Alicia Adriana in a traditional ceremony believed to bring good fortune to the town. The marriage between a man and a female caiman has been a tradition for 230 years, symbolizing the union of two rival indigenous groups. The mayor expressed his love for the reptile and emphasized the importance of love in a marriage. The ceremony involved dressing the caiman in a wedding dress and taking her to different houses for locals to hold and dance with her. The event was celebrated as a union of two cultures, and the mayor sealed the ceremony with a kiss on the caiman's snout.
