"Well, I am going to do it now. The Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage is forcing my hand and making me marry a wonderful mare named Hee Haw," said Carson, who has compared gay marriage to bestiality and pedophilia.
Carson added, "It will be a private and solemn affair on September 18th. Justice Antonin Scalia has also agreed to preside over the wedding."

A member of the press asked Carson if he was planning a honeymoon with Hee Haw.
"I am getting married to a horse. It's best if we leave it at that," replied Carson.
Carson announced Mike Huckabee will be his best man.
