Waxman Staff Writer Apr 18, 2016 4:38 PM UTC On the day that an owl-loving bride and groom in Canada pledged their love in front of friends and family, an owl hired as the ring bearer got distracted and crashed into a window during the ceremony. “The owl is okay,” according to a description of the video, posted on YouTube seven months after the ceremony. It is the latest owl ring bearer to go viral on the Internet, part of a trend that is especially popular at U.K. weddings. To see the job done right, watch the [video below](http://time.com/3896058/owl-ring-bearer-wedding/), which shows an owl named Bilbo flying down the aisle to deliver rings to a couple from Sunderland, England. The clip has been watched nearly a million times since it was uploaded on May 22, 2015.
