The mayor of San Pedro Huamelula town in southern Mexico, Victor Hugo Sosa, has married a female reptile named Alicia Adriana in a traditional rite to bring good fortune to his people.
The Indigenous Chontal people of the town watched while the Mayor took his betrothed reptile re-enacting an ancestral ritual.
Sosa said during the ritual, "I accept responsibility because we love each other. That is what is important. You can't have a marriage without love... I yield to marriage with the princess girl."
