Donkeys Marry to Appease Rain God

When people marry they hope to get some money and a nice toaster oven out of it (and a George Foreman if they are really luck!) When donkeys marry...it's all business. In a prayer for world peace the villagers in Poovalur, India performed the marriage of two donkeys in the ancient Sri Thirumoola Natha Swamy Temple. The 'bridegroom' was adorned with a silk dhoti, the 'bride' wore a silk jacket and saree. (Oooo someone is trying to show up Nicole Kidman....) More than 3,000 people were in attendance for this unconventional union. The wedding reception followed at the temple with a guest list of 1,000. After the rituals were finished, the newlywed couple was donated to the temple where she will try to arrange things just how she wants them and the male will be an ass about it.
