An environmentalist in Argentina has ‘married’ a tree in an effort to draw attention to global environmental issues.
Richard Torres, who was described in one report as a Johnny Depp doppelganger, married the tree in the Argentinian capital of Buenos Aries on Sunday, KXAN reports.
Dressed in a white suit and blue hat, the Peruvian actor invited guests to perform readings at the ceremony in one of the city’s main parks.
The activist read his vows out loud and was given a ring before he kissed the tree several times to make the marriage official.
Richard Torres even gave the tree a kiss after he confirmed his wedding vows and received a ring. The newly-wed tree can be found in a Buenos Aires park.
Torres said he wanted the ceremony to send out an important message about looking after the environment.
