I thee tree wed
In what could only be dreamed up by the radical environmental religion and anti-traditional marriage zealots, Peruvian activist and actor Richard Torres recently contracted matrimony with Mexico’s famous 1,000-year-old Arbol del Tule, or Tule Tree, in an Inca ceremony.
The ceremony, according to Fox News Latino, began in front of a handful of environmentalists and several dozen inhabitants of the Oaxaca town of Santa Maria del Tule, most of whom didn’t know why the man was kissing and “marrying” the tree, which is a form of cypress and – at nearly 140 feet around – has the largest diameter of any tree in the world.
“Stop the hand that cuts down trees,” Torres said during the vows. “I condemn this genocide and ask the president of Mexico to halt the destruction.”
The wedding was part of the “Marry a tree, save your oxygen” project, whose mission is to stop deforestation around the world, and has already been initiated in Peru, Colombia and Argentina, according to the news agency.
