Ring-carrying owl savages best man at castle wedding

WITH this wing I thee whack – an owl swoops down to attack a best man at a wedding…

The bird had been carrying rings in a pouch for Jeni Arrowsmith, 30, and Mark Wood, 29, when it got spooked. It flew towards the second best man after he pointed to it and laid into him – sending him crashing to the ground. Jeni, of Wrexham, North Wales, said: “It was hilarious.” Photograph­er Stacey Oliver filmed the attack at Peckforton Castle in Tarporley, Cheshire. She said: “The best man’s reaction was just great.”

WHAT a hoot when an owl carrying the rings attacked the best man at a wedding.

It is traditiona­lly the best man’s job to ruffle a few feathers with his speech at the reception.

So it is nice to see someone else causing a bit of a flap for a change.
