A groom surprised his bride on their wedding day - with a penguin ring bearer.
Joe Keilty, 36, invited four special feathered guests when he tied the knot with his partner, Kerri Parry, 38, on May 5, at Old Palace, in Chester, Cheshire.
Penguin-obsessed Kerri was over-the-moon when she first spotted one of the birds waddling down the aisle after their best man, Daniel Welch, 36.
Daniel and groomsman, Craig Hindley-Poppitt, 34, had pretended the rings had been lost and ran out of the ceremony.
They returned with a bucket of fish and a penguin in tow - which waddled down the aisle carrying the rings on a pink ribbon tied around its neck.
The penguin waited patiently through the rest of the ceremony then joined the three others and the rest of the guests for the photos.
