In England, a groom ‘rented’ a penguin to waddle down the aisle as the ring bearer. Turns out, the bride’s favorite animal is a penguin.

 

This is how it went down.

He and the groomsman had pretended the rings had been lost and ran out of the ceremony.

They returned carrying a bucket of fish with the penguin following them — well, the fish at least — carrying the rings on a pink ribbon tied around its neck. The new ‘best penguin’ even posed for photos afterward.

“I was so shocked and amazed,” gushed Kerri, a nurse, from Merseyside. “It would have been a perfect day anyhow, but the penguins just topped it off.
