Hundreds of villagers in Cambodia have flocked to a wedding ceremony between a 16ft female python and her slightly smaller snake mate.
Fortune tellers believe the pythons are magic snakes that bring prosperity and peace to the village.
The two-hour ceremony on Monday ended with two Buddhist monks blessing the snake couple as villagers showered them with flowers and wedding music played.
