Two pythons have tied the knot in an unusual wedding ceremony in a village south of Phnom Penh.
Cambodians tend to be very supersticious and practice a combination of Animism and Buddhism. "We organised the wedding ceremony for the pythons in order to oust bad things and bring good luck and happiness for our villages," said the owner of one of the two snakes. He originally found the python in 1994 and it had become a part of his family ever since.
Hundreds of Cambodians have celebrated the unusual wedding of two snakes, in the belief the nuptials will bring those attending prosperity and peace. Serpent bride Chamreun, a 16ft-long (4. 8m) python weighing 200lb (90kg), wed her smaller mate in a village just south of the capital Phnom Penh.
