Cary Alpacas helps man with unique marriage proposal
A HOLIDAY maker found an unusual way to pop the question near Yeovil this weekend, enlisting the help of an alpaca. Joe Taylor, from Leicestershire, was holidaying with his girlfriend Katherine when the couple paid a memorable visit to Cary Alpacas, in Cary Fitzpaine, on Saturday, July 20.
Unbeknownst to Katherine, Joe was waiting for the perfect moment to have Leo the alpaca approach his girlfriend with a sign around his neck reading ‘Will you marry me?‘
While Katherine was distracted by the adorable animal, Joe got down on one knee and after realising what was going on Katherine immediately said yes.
The surprise was organised with help from Kim Williams, the owner of Cary Alpacas. She said that Leo was chosen for the job as he’s the “best-behaved alpaca” and the one that “likes to be stroked and cuddled the most”.
The only thing left to do besides the alpaca walk was to toast the happy couple with a chilled glass of champagne.

Cary Alpacas are Proud to Sponsor
As a UK Trustee for SOS Africa, I am a proud supporter of their work. A Somerset based children’s charity which invests 100% of donations in the education and care of disadvantaged children in South Africa. SOS Africa Charity now sponsors the education and care of hundreds of African children. Our UK based child sponsorship organization believes that by empowering African children through holistic education and care, you can help them to fulfil their potential and break out of the cycle of poverty into which they are born.
Linda and myself have been providing financial support for a young man called ‘Lihle’ for several years now and the satisfaction and pride we have as he progresses through his educational program, has no bounds.

The Incredible staff and volunteers at ‘Bambelela’ led by ‘Silke’, mainly concentrate on the ‘Vervet’ monkey rehabilitation, taking in injured and orphaned monkeys, forming troops and finding monkey-friendly game farms to release a rehabilitated troop. To date they have successfully given 15 troops (over 300 monkeys), a second chance to live free again.
Linda & myself have sponsored the ‘Vervet’ (Left), which we called ‘Kami-Kazu’, who has now been released into the wild.
We are now sponsoring our second baby ‘Vervet’ (right) which we have called ‘Kamali. Hopefully, we will return to Bambelela to see ‘Kamali’ released into the wild in 2024.
