A group of female activists in Oaxaca, Mexico, held a mass marriage ceremony where they each wed their own splintery groom to draw attention to illegal logging – a serious and devastating problem in the country.
Around a third of Mexico’s land is covered by forest. Oaxaca is one of five states hit hardest by deforestation, mostly caused by criminal groups, Metro reports.
The women are trying to take a stand against the practice and are hoping the mass marriage will get people more involved with saving the woodlands.|

This is another version of the story: Women are Marrying Trees and the Reason Will Surprise You
What is the reason that won't surprise you?
Probably hitchin up with the same trees that provided them with their ugly sticks.
Those trees will do a better job at supporting those women and their children than the dead beat Mexican men who have abandoned their families and entered the U.S. illegally.
At least something is giving them wood.....
Entwives?
Since most "criminal groups" in Mexico would gleefully murder a woman's husband while raping her as he died, what makes these women think that "marrying" a tree is going to save it from being destroyed?
Well, that’s one way to get wood.
This story is sappy.
Those knot holes mean nothing to them.
I think it is our moral obligation to encourage as many Mexican Nationals currently in the US to hurry Home and Save The their National Forests, the women are lonely too.
Knot hole envy..........
They are tying them.
Oaxaca? How did crazy spread that far south?
I once drove from Puebla to the southern coast at Punta Angel at night during a hurricane. Was a wee bit scary on that 10,000 foot drop windy road with potholes the size of lunar craters
I interpret the action of these women “marrying trees” is an open declaration of their paganism and being earth worshipers.
Lotta wood in those trees.
ROTFLMAO.
Do YEW take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife....
“Is that your trunk, or are you just happy to see me”?
