Wedding Rings Delivered by Air
For the traditional wedding, the rings are carried in by a ring bearer, usually someone’s cheeky nephew or son wobbling down the aisle carrying a pillow, or perhaps the best man has hold of them in their top pocket. A falconry owner in County Durham wants couples to know that his new delivery service can bring magical qualities to their wedding!
Chris Bennett is the owner of Talon Falconry in Burnhope. Chris has loved birds for as long as he can remember and has a real passion about his ten birds. He has worked for many years with birds of prey and recently, over a period of six weeks or so, has been training one of his barn owls to drop the rings off with the bride and groom at just the precise moment during the ceremony.
Ollie, the ten month old owl, has been with Chris since she hatched. The rings are attached to one of her legs and she has been taught to fly down to the groom, or best man, at their signal (the raising of their hand). She will land on the arm so that the rings can be retrieved and then Chris would collect Ollie out of the way.
Having had Ollie deliver his own wedding rings, Chris feels that the guests will be very impressed by the romantic display.
The best use of ‘air mail’ that I have heard about!
