                  And they lived happily ever after...

A symbolic "wedding" was held in Ortaköy village of Antalya's Kumluca
district to call attention to the danger that donkeys will be extinct by the
year 2030 (!).  

Gold, horseshoes, beads and other items were strewn over the beasts as
they were "betrothed" by a wedding official and in the presence of 
witnesses and the villagers.   After the ceremony, village chief  Halime
Kay had the happy couple munch on lettuce, cucumbers, carrots and 
grass.  Next, the newlyweds were loaded onto a tractor and sent off to
their honeymoon.  A citizen who blocked the tractor's progress was 
given an envelope full of money as the "bride price".
