Elephant eats bride at Thai wedding
A cheeky elephant pulled bride’s head to its mouth for a kiss.
PHUKET (Web Desk) - Elephants make exotic but unpredictable wedding guests, as one bride who travelled Thailand for her big day found out.
After tying the knot at a ceremony in Phuket, the bride from Melbourne spotted a three-year-old Indian elephant on the hotel lawn.
Video shot at the wedding shows the woman who is wearing a long dress and clutching a bouquet, moving in to pose with the creature.
But the friendly animal appears to get the wrong idea. As the bride edges closer, the naughty mammal wraps its trunk around her and pulls her towards its mouth.
After a few moments it releases her from the amorous clinch to laughter from wedding guests.
The comical moment was captured on camera by photographer Abraham Joffe, who said: "She wasn t injured. It just licked her face and breathed down her throat.
"She just got this horrible elephant breath in her lungs. Everyone was laughing. She was a bit shaken up.
"She was a little bit embarrassed but they were all pretty laid back, being Aussies. It wasn t a prim and proper sort of day."
