Newlyweds Ask for 1,000 Goats for Charity as Wedding Gifts.

I mean whatever floats your boats, right? Whatever makes you HAPPY on your special day...

One couple decided to ask for 1,000 goats instead of wedding gifts all to help raise money for developing villages in Africa.

“I think people were very moved that instead wedding presents we were asking for donations," said Katherine Dean, the now wife of Edwin Dean. 

According to the charity, VIP works with 25 villages impacting over 19,000 lives. A spokesperson told this to Fox 4: 

"One approach we take to combat lack of food and income is to provide families with goats as a source of income. One goat can help a farmer produce a fruitful harvest by using its byproducts as fertilizer. We also encourage families to breed their goats and sell offspring to local markets as an additional source of income."

The newlyweds say helping others became a part of their love story. 

"When I met Katherine, she’s my soulmate, we do everything together," explained Mr. Dean. "There’s pictures of Katherine carrying the baby goat down the aisle of just sort of representation.”
