Crowds flock to monkey ‘wedding’


Last Thursday in a village called Ghanteswara, about 3000 Indian villagers attended a monkey wedding. The bride was dressed in long sari like a human bride. And the groom was taken by procession to the temple with hundred of onlookers, accompanied by loud music and fireworks. The people who came to the wedding gave the couple some gifts even they gave them gold necklace. Now the couple be released and now they live in the temple where the marriage took place.

In my opinion this is silly thing to have a big wedding for the monkeys. Especially if the villager were poor. And I think it’s better if they did a group wedding for the single villager.
