Man, 74, set to marry his pet goat in large ceremony

A man is causing an uproar after he announced plans to marry his pet goat.
A 74-year-old retired stonecutter has decided to end his misery of being alone and to marry his pet goat, Carmelita. Aparecido Castaldo announced that his wedding will be held on October 13 at the Igreja do Diabo, or the Church of the Devil, in the city of Jundiai, Brazil.
“She does not speak and does not want money,” the father of eight children, four women and four men from four different marriages, said. Castaldo, who has been in love with the pet for the past two years, has promised that his marriage will not be consummated. The ceremony is scheduled for midnight on October 13 and will be followed by a big party on All Souls’ Day the following day.

“Carmelita ate its first dress, but I have made it another.
Every time someone tells me that I’m doing something wrong I say that the goat does not speak, ask for money to go shopping, and does not get pregnant. The best thing of all is that it cannot talk,” Castaldo said.
