...That's it people...The big secret is out!!
Kermit the frog is married and his wife is not
miss piggy,he married an Indian and they are
probably expecting their first child by now....
Daily mail reports yesterday that desperate
villagers in an Indian region hit by droughts
have held a wedding ceremony for frogs in a
bid to appease rain gods.
The amphibian ritual took place in the village
of Dibrugarh in the north eastern Indian state
of Assam.

Villagers perform the ceremony to try and
bring rainfall during dry spells.
Ranjan Das, one of village leaders who
attended the wedding, said: 'Our region had
not witnessed much rain this year so far. So
we arranged the wedding of two frogs to
please the rain Gods.The ritual began by
catching hold of a male and a female frog
from two different villages.We have to make
sure that the frogs have been brought from
two different villages. Only then will the rain
Gods accept our plea,' said Das.
After that,we sit for the ritual and perform
the wedding just like we do our own.'

People from around four villages attended the
bizarre marriage ceremony on Sunday, 27
June, which lasted six hours and more than
thousand people were present at the wedding,
which was held in the local park.
The two frogs were dressed up and adorned
with traditional colour.The female frog was
even gifted a gold chain by the villagers.
Traditional prayers were recited by the saints
who conducted the wedding. It was a joyful
affair and After the ceremony was over, the
frogs were taken to a small pond nearby and
let go.
Villagers then proceeded to eat dinner, where
more than 900 plates of food were served.

They let the frogs go,so that they can live
their life and convey their message to the rain
Gods,
'This ritual was performed as a last resort
measure and It seemed the prayers of the
villagers were answered - it began raining
across Dibrugarh yesterday morning.
