“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,” Sosa said.
This marriage ritual has been practiced for 230 years to commemorate the peace between the Chontal and Huave Indigenous groups. The mayor, embodying the Chontal king, weds the reptile, symbolising the union of the two cultures.
The wedding ceremony allows the communities to connect with earth and seek blessings for rain, crop germination, and harmony.
