Changmao and his bride to be, Chunzi.
(Ecns.cn)-- Changmao (Long Hair) the ram will take Chunzi the doe to be his lawfully wedded wife this coming Valentine's Day, authorities at the Yunnan Wild Animal Park in Kunming said on Monday.
When the controversial couple first fell in love last year they were forcibly separated by zookeepers, but eventually allowed to reunite after receiving overwhelming support from fans inspired by their "interracial love."
Changmao and Chunzi will be bathed and dressed before the ceremony and eat carrots together at the wedding, according to Chinanews.com.
As many as 500 people will be allowed to witness the grand ceremony, which will cost 66 yuan (US$10.5) a ticket. In addition, there will be 200 limited edition T-shirts on sale, each screen-printed with a picture of the couple.
