The next day, they sealed their love in front of a representative of the civil status and the pumpkin dance, in which they tried to pull the groom out of a chair.

No doubt this marriage will be remembered for many years, like that of Ariel, a primary school boy who was forced to marry Kermes. The video of the event became viral in social networks last year, but from time to time, internet users remember it and can not help laughing.

And is this little Ariel did not want to get married, but despite all their efforts to try to avoid, he did not achieve his goal. The bride took her hand by force and forced her to sign the paper that formalized the engagement.

The video that exploded on thousands of Internet users was taken during school holidays at a school in the city of Torreón, in the state of Coahuila, in northern Mexico. That day, the students went to school dressed in traditional costumes to celebrate the anniversary of the beginning of the Mexican Revolution, celebrated on November 20th.

Among the participants was the little Ariel, a boy wearing false mustaches, Emiliano Zapata, who did not imagine that day was going to be forcibly married. At least four of his clbadmates, including his girlfriend, dragged him into the school yard to take him to the "civil registry" table.

"Here's the other!", Says one of the kids as a sentence, thus putting an end to Ariel's latest opportunities to escape. The woman in charge of formalizing the "marital unions" told the children that the future husband had to sign the document of his own free will, since one of the children was already more than ready to do it for him.

Although she held until the last moment, Ariel had no choice. Even to put the ring, he had to hold it among several of his companions and when the teacher asked him what color he wanted the ring, the bride stepped forward and answered instead: "No matter the color, no matter ".
