Mayor of San Pedro Huamelula, a city in Mexico, Joel Vazquez
Rojas, on Tuesday tied the knot with an alligator princess named
María Isabel in a traditional ceremony that attracted hundreds of
guests who watched and cheered in excitement.
The annual ceremony is meant to bring plenty of fish, shrimp and
seafood to the fishermen who live in the Pacific coast town.
It was busy day for the lucky alligator, as not only did she walk
down the aisle dressed in traditional white garb and with a very
large piece of duct tape around her deadly mouth, she was also
baptised prior to the festivities.
The ceremony happens every year, and Mayor Rojas even
exchanges vows with the reptiles during the event.
And like all wedding parties, this one was followed by a massive
ceremony where the newlywed princess alligator changed into
more colorful attire and was held by her new husband as he
danced and swung her around the floor.
Hundreds of students in India have been expelled for cheating on a major examination and their parents are largely to blame. Critics say the incident highlights a widespread problem within India's education system. About 600 students have been caught cheating this year alone in the 10th grade tests and they could be banned from taking exams for three years, forced to pay a fine or even be jailed.
