It will not be the best man ensuring precious wedding rings get to the church on time for a blushing bride and her groom - but a white barn owl instead.
Casber is to be a page boy at the wedding of Jenni Jones and Stuart Desborough in Ruthin.
It will be the owl’s task to fly in the rings for the bride and groom so they can tie the knot.
And three-year-old Casber has been training hard for his special role in the big day.
Owner and handler Islwyn Jones, of Penybryn open farm, Llanfihangel Glyn Myfyr, between Ruthin and Cerrigydrudion, said he is confident everything will go to plan when his daughter Jenni gets hitched.
“Casber is highly trained,” he said. “He will not lose the rings.
“He will fly the rings in to the happy couple to complete their special day.”
Handler Katie Townend will be in charge of flying Casber at the wedding on January 20 while proud Islwyn will give his daughter away.
Jenni, 22, a learning support assistant at Brynhyfryd School in Ruthin, said: “It will be unique, Casber will bring the rings in for the best man.
“It will be lovely. I can’t wait.”
She said she has every confidence in her father and his birds and knows nothing will go wrong.
“It will be lovely to see and very interesting. There is no chance of him disappearing with the rings.
“I have watched him train. It’s going to be brilliant,” she added.
The couple are getting married at Ruthin Register Office, with a celebration at Faenol Fawr, Bodelwyddan, on January 20.
