Former stonecutter Aparecido Castaldo, 74,
has decided to end his days as a single man
to marry his beloved Carmelita, a goat.
Because no Christian minister would agree to
perform the marriage ceremony, the two will
be wed by a known satanic leader, in the
Church of the Devil.
The widower and father-of-seven, apparently
wanted to be united with his goat Carmela in
a church, by an evangelical minister.
Unfortunately, none of the churches he
contacted with his unusual request wanted to
perform the ceremony, so Aparecido
eventually contacted Toninho do Diabo (Tom
the Devil), an old friend who just happens to
be one of the most famous satanists in Brazil.
”Only our church accepted this love
between man and animal because we
have no prejudice,” Toninho said.
Aparecido fell in love with his pet goat two
years ago, and apparently she has already
been accepted as a “stepmother” by the man’s
seven children, who will all be at the
wedding. Although their upcoming wedding
has caused a lot of controversy in the
community, and attracted accusations from
animal rights activists, Castaldo said he just
needs a life companion and Carmella is just
perfect.
“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,” the groom-to-be praised his future
wife. She does have one fault, though –
she tries to eat everything, including the
first wedding dress Aparecido got for
her. Luckily, he was able to find another.
After the October 13 wedding, Aparecido
plans to celebrate his union to Carmela with a
barbecue party, but makes it very clear that
there won’t be any goat meat served
