Pigs get married in Taiwan

Two pigs have become Mr and Mrs at a special ceremony in Taiwan to celebrate Chinese New Year.

Farm owner Shu Wen-chun says he used the internet to look for a girlfriend for his male pot belly porker.

He said: "They will be living in a luxurious place with a pond in the front and a mountain at the back and they will live a happy life."



More than 100 guests witnessed the marriage which celebrated the upcoming Year of the Pig.

The local parish priest performed the ceremony and said it was the first time he had ever attended the wedding of two pigs.

"Next year, in China, it will be the Pig Year, so it is a very good occasion to ask, because of this marriage, for all the people in Taiwan, they can get peace, love and happiness," he said.
