A Brazilian man is to wed his pet goat.
Aparecido Castaldo, 74, will tie the knot with the animal, Carmelita, after being in love with his four-legged friend for the past two years, and he enjoys the fact the goat is less demanding than some of his former lovers.
He said: "She doesn't speak and doesn't want money.
"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."
Aparecido has fathered eight children from four different women but he has promised not to consummate his marriage to Carmelita.
