Not married to an alpaca, but married with one. Like, you can have the animal show up at your wedding. In a bow-tie.
According to Sankei News (and Twitter user Mulboyne), Japanese resort hotel Epinard Nasuâ located in the Nasu Highlands, a summer retreat for the countryâs royal familyâis offering a special âAlpaca Weddingâ package. The 488,000 yen (US$4,067) fee includes wedding dress and tux rental, a chapel wedding ceremony, a photo album, a night at the hotel, and dinner.
Oh, and an alpaca will show up to your wedding and even pose in your wedding photos.

Obviously, this is a most unusual wedding plan. Animals donât typically appear at Japanese marriage ceremonies, let alone alpacas.
Why an alpaca? Online in Japan, alpacas have been somewhat popular for their unusual looks. But thatâs not the reason. The hotel is situated near Japanâs largest alpaca farm, Nasu Animal Kingdom. So, these alpaca wedding guests? Theyâre locals.
