That's Not A Good Sign: Couple Release Doves After Wedding, One Flew Off, One Hit The Floor
A video of a UK couple releasing doves after they were married is going viral on social media. The dove that bride released instead of flying plummeted to the floor and reportedly died. Breeders around the country charge a pretty penny to release young birds at weddings.
Releasing a pair of white doves after the wedding ceremony is a tradition in many Christian weddings. It is believed that releasing doves on wedding day brings love, joy, prosperity to the family. The practice is quite common across the world.
So it was not really unique when a UK couple decided to do the same, except it did not go how they planned.
A video of the couple releasing doves after they were married is going viral on social media. The video begins with both of them engaging in a passionate kiss and then preparing to release the doves.
To bless their union of love, the couple finally tossed the two white dives into the air. While the one the husband released took off, the other one was not so lucky. The blessing turned into a disaster real quick as the dove that bride released, instead of flying, plummeted to the floor and reportedly, died.
A spokesperson for Newbury-based bird rescue charity Corvid Dawn wrote on Facebook, ¡®Breeders around the country charge a pretty penny to release young birds at weddings. They are often not free flown, meaning they are too exhausted to work out how to get home and haven't been in an aviary to get their bearings or homing instinct, let alone flight muscles. They have no idea how to survive without humans or how to get home¡¯.

Well, that did not seem to be a good omen for the newly weds.
