Still Waters Posted June 14, 2012 #1 Share Posted June 14, 2012 No matter how confident they feel about their relationship every bride worries their future spouse will croak at the alter come the big day.But in the remote village of Takhatpur, India, croaking is the norm during the much-celebrated frog weddings. Residents believe these unusual nuptials will bring rain to relieve them of water shortages brought on by severe drought. http://www.dailymail...nging-rain.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThickasaBrick Posted June 15, 2012 #4 Share Posted June 15, 2012 Was this an arranged marriage? Hope it works out, I would hate to think how their hundreds of tadpoles would feel if they don't make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dharma warrior Posted June 16, 2012 #10 Share Posted June 16, 2012 I heard that Mrs. Frog has already let another frog fertilize her eggs. Mr. Frog ran off with some little hussy who just recently lost her tail and left the Mrs. to raise their tadpoles on her own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d e v i c e Posted June 25, 2012 #16 Share Posted June 25, 2012 I see no harm in this at all. Arranged marriages for poeple? Well, that's one thing. But for frogs, thats fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
