Weddings are often filled with unexpected moments that become cherished memories for both the couple and their guests. However, one couple had a truly unique and hilarious experience during their special day, thanks to a saucy bird. In a stunning photograph captured by Tara Lilly, a whisky jack landed on the bride's head just as the groom began to recite his vows. This comical moment not only brought joy and laughter to the wedding ceremony but also earned Lilly the prestigious title of 2023 International Wedding Photographer of the Year.

May I poop on the bride?
Well......post the award winning photo, please. Thx.
It’s an omen of good fortune and a warning of danger. Covered their bases there, eh!
Wikipedia:
“In anishinaabemowin, or the Ojibwe language, the bird is known as gwiingwiishi. “... the whisky jack is revered by indigenous peoples as an omen of good fortune and a warning of danger.”
Don’t hold your breath...a blog pimp angling for hits actually posting the only content of interest here? That would be novel.
Lotta blog/self promotion pimping going on around here. Sometimes at odd hours. There are a lot of FReepers who don’t seem to mind these pimpers get rich off of Jim Robinson’s kindness. Wonder how much they make from the clicks? Must be pretty damn good. Some do it every day (or night) and some even several times a day. I hope they make healthy donations to JimRob, but I bet they don’t. There’s another one in particular that I’m thinking of, who posts someone else’s material, but gives one paragraph of info (excerpt style). That website gets the click. Owner gets the money. Original author is left out of the money. JimRob is doesn’t get a donation. I am tired of the grifters at FR. We have enough who work for us in the hallowed halls of Congress.
Once years ago I had some bird poop land on my head. I mentioned it to an old Italian guy that I know, and he said that was good luck and I should play the lottery.
Swine bird!
I bet you’re a lot of fun at parties.
Angling to replace h’gunner’s downer input.
I enjoy reading the key words on of those bloggers posts
A statuesque young lady...
I recall the gull that landed on the chimney that is watched in Vatican City when a pope’s selection is underway. When it happened, I took it as a sign that the Pope would choose the name Francis. Didn’t figure it would be a commie, though.
I called one of those poster out several days ago and was attacked(through FReep mail)by other posters to that thread.
There is definitely problem posters at work. Seems they want to turn FR into a Facebook like media site.
Camp-robber, trying to move the ceremony along to the part where people throw rice or birdseed. Would have made for some good action shots if a chipmunk had run up her leg.
