They did this with a falcon at my cousins wedding. It was pretty cool.
mirandagale
I thought it was going to fly out of the window. I was disappoint.

The name is Hedwig! Bitch!
beaubrent
That is a really bad idea though.

People trying to mold nature, and an alpha predator like that, to be a part of their stupid ceremony deserve shit like this to happen.
Sheepyhead
That's just asking for trouble

Never ask an owl to pull your finger. —old Irish proverb
daringdirk
That's why you should have just had a traditional ring bear, none of this would have happened...
consistentprogress
Wrong? Sorry where?
OopsImAPumpkin
I always thought it would be funny to get a couple of kids dressed as Frodo and Sam to bring in the rings.
candiedhotdogs
The bird seemed pretty calm. It didn’t attack the bystander. Just landed on him.
swatz
Yeah, pretty obvious the person spazzed out, not the owl. He stuck his arm out so the owl was all..Ok, here next, sure.
GarageQueen
Yep. Owl is trained to go when someone holds out their arm and points.

Get some drugged up milk in there and you will have a real party.
CyndaquilAndInk
I'm no expert but the dude held his hand out like it was a perch. Just my guess
tzxAzrael
exactly what happened. "fly to the arm, ok here i go! oh, another arm, ok here i g-- WHAT ARE YOU DOING I CAN'T LAND WHEN YOU FLAIL ABOUT!"

People do the stupidest shit at weddings
BlackavarLion
That is why it is rude to point.
LegendaryKatman
Let's have a natural predator with talons and pointy beak in a room crowded with friends and family... what could possibly go wrong?

What a stupid piece of s... Who does this. Fukin morons
apwillenme
I did, it was fantastic and hilarious. What's your problem with it? I'm not a slave to tradition, it was cheap and weird.
apwillenme
We had a hawk fly our ring in and I just want to say to all the shitty little party poopers: we know it's pretentious and over the top. 1/
apwillenme
That's the whole point. You figured it out genius. P.S. it was awesome as hell and I'd do it again. Came this close to having 2/

Isn't that notmal at weddings?

Should’ve gotten a ring bear.

Alternatively, they really didn't like that one person and it was an "accident".
NotaCPA
this was in the news. It was funny. I laughed. That is all
mizadventures
Whose idea was this? The bird was probably terrified.
pronoun
No, the bird was just flying to the guy in the front that was pointing to it.
flamingflamingo
The bird is calm. It was just flying to an outstretched hand and kinda mussed it up when the arm withdrew. Bird is, at worst, confused.

As a white person, this is accurate.

I'm sorry dude in the audience clearly pointed and posted arm owl thought he was supposed to fly over there. Also those people would 1/2

Really surprised they didn't warn people about how owls work. Especially those in the front row? Poor planning from top to bottom
didnotouchyou
Lose the owl if I'd been there and it flew to me. Adorable yet vicious new pet...yes please! Also owls at weddings are stupid.

Yeah I would definitely not be laughing if an owl were that close to my small human child.
ISeeNippleWithoutLittleKids
Well, you covered everything. Guess I'll be going now.
inconspicuousshrub
Beautiful username, but you had better not be the original in disguise
ISeeNippleWithoutLittleKids
Nope. I know people wonder though. I'm just here to confirm nips and to not let the story of that pervert die.

Owl weddings are just fine thank you very much! It's human weddings that have an insane divorce rate.
the12thletter
I hear owl weddings are a hoot.
InfinitusEquitas
Take the +1 for a hearty chuckle at a cheesy joke!
mindolluin
Good point!
TheTrekkieWhovian
I have never officiated an Owl wedding. I have officiated for a Cat, Dog, & even a fish wedding for a dear friend of mine. New goal.
strongseth
what about your deer friends?
InfinitusEquitas
Now what's the requirement to get ordained?
TheTrekkieWhovian
You can always get ordained over the internet if you want to officiate your friends wedding. Otherwise it's a little complicated 1/?
TheTrekkieWhovian
So in short it's all about how serious you are about it & what you ultimately want to do & get out of it. Hope that helps at least a bit 3/3
InfinitusEquitas
It does, thanks.
TheTrekkieWhovian
Complicated but ultimately down to the church you want to go through, most require allot of classes & shadowing a Minister 2/?

This is the kind of shit white people do for Instagram likes.
ThatJerkYouKnow
My wife photographed a wedding where the bird (owl?) just flew into the rafters. They couldn’t get it down until the next day. The handler—
ThatJerkYouKnow
returned the ring to them after their honeymoon lol...
apwillenme
So a better way to do that is to have the bird deliver a fake ring to the best man, who then presents the real ring that he's palmed.
apwillenme
That way if the bird fucks off and drops the package in a lake, you don't lose thousands of dollars in jewelry.
pronoun
It was fine until that jackass pointed a foot away from it and then fell over like an idiot.
Evanrudeplz
Or until some genius decided an owl was to be a part of the ceremony.
pronoun
Nah, the pointing dude falling over caused more of a raucous than the owl. Owl's just like you want me to land here?

How dare you offend our Owl based wedding.

Owl be the judge of that!

Been to a wedding with an owl and a hawk. It was about as pretentious as it gets.

white people. Specifically rich white people.
StopAskingMeForAnAccountImgurIWannaLurk
Oh shit I forgot to put /s. I don't actually think white people are like this I just wanted to do satire. I kinda cucked myself there.
p3culiar15
Do white people also make "white people" comment to other white people?
squireltactics
All the time.
mattsall
I had an owl as my ring bearer and I'm poor. So your statement is incorrect
Gunthervonhinten
Poor in taste indeed
apwillenme
Poor taste over piss poor manners any day. Who died and made you Hugo Boss anyway?
TerriblePokemon
Fucking white people
WordofDJ
And racist
StopAskingMeForAnAccountImgurIWannaLurk
That is fair. I wanted to make it satirical based on how people complain about white people but I messed it up.
WordofDJ
All good, sarcasm is often difficult to infer through text.
Darylmcmexican
Is it really? Domestic owls are normally really calm. They can be trained to fly on cue. This one is just a bad example.
Burkeybumkins
You make a good point, just including animals and children in a wedding is always risky and if it goes wrong you can never take it back.
MadMacka
The guy it landed on held his arm up which it took as a cue to land on his hand. Owl did what it thought it was meant to and he freaked out.
anitabieror6
no, really.
ShoeLeather
Domestic owls? And just which species of owl has been domesticated?
Darylmcmexican
None, which coincides with the fact that I specifically didn't say domesticated. Or are you arguing that owls can't be home trained?
Dietsurge
If I understand. You're saying domesticated wild owls are perfectly safe. But here we see one of the possible flaws. Owl could be harmed.
Darylmcmexican
In this case the execution is poor. But if the owl is properly trained and the crowd is accounted for, like it should be, it CAN be safe.
rabbiebabbie
My aunt had a south American screech owl in her home but I wouldn't really call it "trained" just better behaved than It used to be
Darylmcmexican
I have one too, a scops owl. I also didn't train it per se, but it can be trained. Lots of people do it. It's not an inherently stupid idea.
