An environmental activist has "married"
a tree in Buenos Aires in an effort to draw attention to global environmental
concerns.
Dressed in a crisp white suit and blue hat,
Richard Torres carried a bouquet as the wedding party approached his intended
in one of the city's main parks on Sunday evening.
The Peruvian actor and activist laid symbolic
offerings at the base of the tree before confirming his wedding vows and
receiving a ring.
He even gave the tree a kiss, much to the delight
of onlookers gathered in the Rose Garden to watch the festivities. Click on read more to continue....
"We want to use this in our own way to send
out a little message with this wedding so that we all become more conscious
that our dear Mother Nature must be saved," Mr. Torres said after the
ceremony.
The 33-year-old actor, who has a long history in
theatre and television in his native Peru, added that this is just the start of
his championing of the environment.
His bridesmaid - Argentine actress Julia Amore -
said that the idea was to be "colourful" to attract attention and
send an important message.
While this is Torres' first ecological event
outside of his native Peru, the actor plans to bring his unique form of
activism to various countries throughout Latin America.
