Woman Marries Reptile of Her Dreams

I'm sure there are a lot of women who feel like they married a snake, but this lady in India actually did marry a snake:
A woman who fell in love with a snake has reportedly married the reptile at a traditional Hindu wedding celebrated by 2,000 guests in India's Orissa state.

Bimbala Das wore a silk saree for the ceremony Wednesday at Atala village near the Orissa state capital Bhubaneswar.

Priests chanted mantras to seal the union, but the snake failed to come out of a nearby ant hill where it lives, the Press Trust of India (PTI) said.

A brass replica snake stood in for the hesitant groom.

The bride wore white, the groom wore a hood. I fully expect House Republicans to introduce a bill to make this unconstitutional.

UPDATE: I understand that their towels are monogrammed "Hiss" and "Hers".
