Joel Vasquez Rojas, the mayor of San Pedro Huamelula, married the reptile – dressed in a white gown – at the city hall and then shared a dance in front of packed party of local residents.

According to local tradition, the crocodile is a princess whose marriage to the town mayor will bring in an abundance of seafood for fisherman on the Pacific coast.

‘As young people, this means a lot,’ said local resident Eduardo Zarate

'It’s the greatest treasure our ancestors have left us.’

For safety, the crocodile’s jaw was wired shut for the day.

‘It is my wish to marry the young princess,’ said Mr Vasquez Rojas as the pair were married.

Local council members funded the event, with those who didn’t contribute issued with a fine.

The festivities included dancing and fireworks, and the groom told reporters he was delighted with how the day went.

A similar provision is probably buried deep within the text of the Obamacare (aka Hussein's UnAffordable Care act) text.

I had a feeling you wouldn’t be able to skip past a headline like that

Just wait until the Mother-In-Law visits. These kind of mixed marriages never work out.

Hey, who are we to judge, right? Soon these types of marriages will be demanded in states across the fruited plain, and judges will have to rule them acceptable. Religious cake makers and photographers will be ordered to cater (no pun intended) to these, er, blissful, ceremonies.
