A Brazilian man is to wed his pet goat – but has promised not to consummate the marriage.


Aparecido Castaldo, 74, will trot down the aisle with his beloved Carmelita on Oct. 13 after deciding he wants to spend the rest of his days with her.

The news, which some have speculated is a hoax, has reportedly sparked outrage in his home city of Jundiai in Sao Paulo state.

But the former stonecutter says there’s nothing seedy about the upcoming nuptials and has promised never to sexually consummate the bizarre union.

Aparecido has been in love with the pet for two years and says a goat has advantages over a human companion.
