Diamond Engagement Rings Specialist

Yes, it really was an owl that brought in the wedding rings when a couple got married last month in Balgonie Castle near Edinburgh in Scotland. The whole wedding had a fairytale quality about it. The castle was 14th century, a place that Rob Roy and Mary Queen of Scots had visited and the whole atmosphere was one of old world elegance and charm.

Celeste, the bride wanted an owl to carry the rings to them because for her the owl was a symbol of wisdom. So Finnbar, the owl was pressed into service and he did a remarkable job even though it was his first time as ring bearer. The wedding bands were tied to his feet with a leather strap and he was trained to carry them in.

It was a wedding to remember and the bride was 56 while the groom was 57. They were glad that the wedding could be held in the castle and that all their children as well as their grandchildren could attend. They even followed the Scottish custom of a horseshoe for luck and had a huge flower horseshoe made and carried down the aisle.
