This man fulfilled a years-long promise and took a llama to his sister's wedding.

A Cleveland college student pulled a stunt for the ages at his sister's wedding, beginning with a promise made nearly half a decade ago.

Mendl Weinstock, 21, a student at the University of Akron, made a peculiar proposal to his sister, Riva, during a 2015 road trip from Ohio to Indiana: He would only attend her wedding – whenever it would be – with a llama in tow. He told USA TODAY that he was peeved that his sister was talking about her wedding"as if it was going to happen the next day.""Eventually she got so upset that she said that the llama is invited to the wedding," he told USA TODAY.

In October, Riva got engaged. Naturally, the plan she agreed to, perhaps as a joke, got pushed into full gear."Ever since that day I have promised her I would bring a llama," he said."I fulfilled that promise." Weinstock rented a llama for a whole day for $400 – a very good boy named Shocky – and persuaded a co-worker to sew a tuxedo for the llama with a yarmulke to match.
