Kolomental Tinz: Brazilian Man Plans To Marry Pet Goat

A Brazilian man insists he's not kidding with his plans to marry his pet goat.

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.

"She doesn't speak and doesn't want money," said the father of eight of the animal he says he's been in love with for two years.

"Whenever someone says I am doing something wrong, I reply the goat does not speak, ask for money to go shopping and doesn't get pregnant, and she can't talk," he added.

There have, however, been some logistical problems with the plans for the big day.

Paraiba reports that Carmelita ate her first wedding dress. But luckily she has since found a second one to wear for the special occasion.
