What is the strangest wedding you have been at and why? Earlier today I conducted a wedding in an ancient castle chapel, candle lit, with Thimba the owl who flew the rings to the front of the chapel in its beak!
Later I was told by the handler that Thimba doesn't come, or go cheep (!), it costs £225. I think that it is a novelty I could do without if I were paying for the wedding!!

It was interesting! Although it does lend itself to problems if the bird misbehaves. The Laird of the castle was telling me that on previous occasions the bird has gone for a flight around the chapel, causing much stress to the congregation!! |

Though when my son got married the first time they had a BLACK wedding cake, which I thought was pretty disgusting, and I refused to eat it. One of the waitresses obviously ate some of the cake out in the kitchen and was noticed to have black on her teeth from the black icing and she got the sack. !!! To me weddings should be all light and pretty and girlie...

Lots of people walking by on their way home or to late night shopping. The reception was pay-for-yourself in a Mongolian wok bar. It was awesome!

Mmmm, that would have been interesting, and cheap for the bride and groom.
