I guess she forgot the "till death do us part" portion of the wedding vows...

Its odd that the entire family was in on the gig though... just .. odd..

Wasn't that traditional in those areas, before the conquistadors? She can always claim it's tradition.

Local media reported that Velarde's son regularly helped remove worms infesting his father's body.

Dude. I've never heard of a whole family being committed together before, but it sounds like it might be called for here.
