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.

It would go against the grain for him to say he is feeling chipper.

I don’t want to imagine the honeymoon.

In nine months, can we expect some little trees?
