Frogs getting married?

On Sunday there was an interesting article about frogs getting married. Yes, you read right, they are marrying frogs in India! Assam, a place in northern India has been experiencing a severe drought and they performed a frog marriage in hopes that the rain god would bring rain. It is amazing to me the things that occur in the cultures in India. The ceremony even had all the songs, ornaments and dress associated with normal weddings. Let's just hope they didn't dress the frogs up! After the marital vows were exchanged (or croaked) the two were released into a nearby stream celebrate their honeymoon. And according to the weather forecast rain is expected later this week. Of course if it does rain I don't believe it has anything to do with the marriage of two frogs!
