Python Wedding

Have you ever heard of a python wedding? Yes, the world has come to this, wedding reptiles...just when I was about to think 2011 was gonna be a bit normal. 

Hundreds of guests  were celebrating believing that the ceremony will bring peace and good luck to villagers in Svay Rolum, Cambodia.

 The 4.8m (16ft) ‘bridezilla’ and the smaller male – both believed to be magical – being blessed by two Buddhist monks.

 Chamrouen’s owner, 41-year-old Neth Vy.

We married these pythons to ask for health and prosperity in our village

We were told [by fortune tellers] that the two pythons are husband and wife and they need to live together and, if we don’t marry them, we will meet bad luck
