The internet has seen people marry dogs, but now a mayor of a small town in southern Mexico has shocked social media followers by getting married to a female crocodile. According to accounts, the mayor, Victor Hugo Sosa, got married to the reptile as part of a centuries-old ceremony meant to bring good harvest and harmony between the Indigenous Chontal and Huave communities.

The caiman, an aquatic creature that resembles an alligator and is located in Mexico and Central America, could be seen in the video that is making the rounds on the internet.

In the viral video, Sosa can be heard saying during the ritual that he accepts responsibility because they love each other. That is what matters. Without love, a marriage cannot exist he is consented to get married to the royal girl, he added.

Approximately around 230 years ago, a male and female caiman have been got hitched in the town to commemorate the day when two Indigenous tribes formally proclaimed their peace through matrimony.

Folklore claims that a Chontal King got married a princess girl from the Huave Indigenous tribe, who is now symbolized by the female alligator. According to Jaime Zarate, the historian of San Pedro Huamelula, the wedding is held so that the communities can feel a connection to the ground and ask for rain in order to have a healthy harvest.

According to tradition, disputes were resolved when a Chontal king, represented in modern times by the mayor, get married a princess girl of the Huave Indigenous group, symbolised by the female alligator.

Near this inland village, in the state of Oaxaca, reside the Huave.

In order to link with what is the emblem of Mother Earth, asking the all-powerful for rain, the germination of the seed, and all those things that are peace and harmony for the Chontal man, as Jaime Zarate, chronicler of San Pedro Huamelula, puts it, the parties can link with what is the symbol of Mother Earth at the wedding.

The female alligator is taken to nearby homes for dancing before the wedding ceremony. The ‘bride’ is covered in wedding clothing, with its mouth sealed for security. Following the nuptials, the mayor dances with the bride and kisses the alligator on the snout.
