Title: "Have you tha wing?"

In this best man's case, no.

As Elizabeth Gray and Lewis Aubrey were in the final stages of becoming husband and wife at a church outside London, the ceremony was interrupted by a loud ping.
 
"Suddenly you just hear this noise that sounded like metal dropping and with that the vicar said to the best man … 'Was that the ring?' and he went, 'Yeah,'" Gray told ABC News. "Then all eyes turned to the floor."

Between this and the thread title, I thought this would be about some sort of plane crash involving one of the broken-off wings ruining some poor bastard's wedding.

Tell me I wasn't the only one.

Hehehe. That did occur to me, but the "Princess Bride" reference was too good to resist.

I went to a Renaissance-themed wedding once where a falconer was supposed to call a trained hawk, who would carry the ring.

Instead of going to the falconer, the hawk went right over his head and sat in a tree.  They had to get out some dead chicks to coax it down so the minister could finally get to the exchanging-rings part of the wedding.

At least the rings stayed firmly tied on while the hawk was flying...

I usually take a bag of dead chicks with me when I attend a wedding - just in case this sort of thing happens.

Well, you can't always rely on having a bag of rice/confetti to hand.

Some friends doing an X-men themed wedding thought it would be a good idea to have a wolverine bring the ring.  As in an actual wolverine.  You know how they say hindsight is 20/20?
