Man Marries Tree in Argentina's Capital
KXAN ^ | Monday, November 11, 2013

Posted on 11/15/2013 11:30:44 AM PST by nickcarraway

An environmental activist “married” a tree in Argentina.

Dressed in a crisp white suit and blue hat, Richard Torres carried a bouquet as the wedding party approached his "bride-to-be” in one of the capital's main parks on Sunday.

The Peruvian actor and activist read vows and was given a ring. He even gave the tree a kiss to keep the ceremony authentic.

Torres said the spectacle was intended to draw attention to environmental issues.

While this is the actor's first ecological event outside of Peru, he said it's the start of his championing of the environment and plans to take his unique style of activism to countries throughout Latin America.

I guess the happy couple won't do a lot of traveling.
Unless the groom makes a boat out of the bride.

I hear the bride’s bark was worse than her bite. But I’m glad they married, it’s good to put down some roots.

I knew someone named Richard Torres, a naturalized US citizen who was born in Peru. He was killed in Iraq on Oct. 6, 2003, while serving in the US Army.

Much better person than this nitwit.

No, this is another treehugger. I think.

He may not even have spiked it yet.
