BOGOTA, COLOMBIA An unusual marriage took place on Sunday in Bogotá.
Dressed in a white suit and a red tie, Richard Torres, a young environmentalist from Peru, sealed his love for a tree in a symbolic act meant to emphasize the importance of preserving nature.
"I declare you life partners and forever in pure love, on behalf of the elements of nature and of God " said Colombian actress Kristina Lilley, who performed the ceremony on Bogota's National Park.
The participants, some with musical instruments in hand, threw rice at the newlyweds and demanded in chorus: " Kiss, kiss, kiss... "
Torres said in an interview with The Associated Press that the initiative "is setting a precedent for people to compromise and not kill nature.
Meanwhile, Lilley said: "The call was to preserve the environment, to stop cutting trees, care for animals and live in peace and tolerance."

And if that tree tries to germinate with other trees, he’s got his chainsaw.

Consummation of the marriage could be rough, may even cause a splinter in the relationship.

Rumor has it the bride had been unfaithful during their courtship and, following their honeymoon, the groom was now being treated for Dutch Elm disease.

No knot hole jokes pleaseLOL, that was my first thought too. I do wonder, however, how does he plan to consumate the marriage without them?

Does anyone have a link to the thread (a year or so ago) of a bunch of sh*t-for-brains envirowhackos holding a tearful wailing funeral for a fallen tree?
That still beats this wedding story. I wished I saved a link. I remember laughing so hard I almost cried.
