I've not seen it, but apparently on this week's episode one of the super over-the-top weddings included (wait for it) a real live ring-bearing owl.
An owl! Carrying the wedding rings! So nuts, and also so, so, awesome.
Of course, I had to make a felt version immediately and spent a happy evening last night making this fella and refused to go to bed until I'd finished him:
The owl is carrying a little felt envelope which opens up so you can put rings (or other important things that need delivering via owl) inside it.
This is one of those projects that makes the boyfriend think I've gone completely insane ("you're staying up late to sew a what???"), but I'm pretty chuffed with how it turned out!
I think the design & colours could use some tweaking though (I was in such a rush to sew him together I just grabbed the nearest felt to hand!) ... and it definitely needs the addition of a loop of ribbon at the top so he could be carried by a flower girl down the aisle & hung up for display later... hmm...

Mrs Graffleseed - oh, how cool! hope the wedding goes well :)
I think this owl makes perfect sense; it escapes me how Mr Lupin can not see that!
