It’s unlikely there has ever been a wedding quite like this one …. Cringletie House Hotel claimed a Scottish first recently when a couple had their wedding rings delivered by a pair of alpacas. It’s all part of a quirky new service on offer that sees the happy couple's rings stowed in a velvet bag and carried up the red carpet around the neck of a beautiful alpaca dressed in its best bib and tucker.
The delightful animals, supplied by nearby Velvet Hall Alpacas, have a wonderfully mild temperament which makes them ideal for socialising with the lucky bride and groom. Not only do they add a memorable twist to the ceremony, but the alpacas also then play a part for photos with guests who may also take them for a walk.
“Weddings are always meant to be memorable and providing something extraordinary like this is another way of demonstrating that we care about ensuring the big day is just that," commented Cringletie's manager Jeremy Osborne. “The alpacas are adorable and are proving a huge hit with all age groups. Plus, with our superb grounds, the animals get to enjoy themselves as much as the wedding party!”
