The Internet Is Cracking Up Over This Bear’s Reaction To This Couple Getting Married At The Zoo (3 Pics)

ADVERTISEMENT

This couple decided to have their wedding ceremony held at the Minnesota Zoo and ended up with some genuinely spectacular wedding photographs, including getting hilariously photobombed by a Russian grizzly bear.

The wedding pictures, taken by Chris and Kristy Photography, have since gone viral as people can’t get enough of the bear’s outrageous facial expressions, the funny animal looks thoroughly unimpressed with the situation unfolding in front of it! “The pictures were the photographer’s idea,” the groom explained. “They said it was very fortunate to get a picture with one of the local zoo animals; the animals typically go in for mealtime when we’re allowed to wander before the ceremony. This Russian grizzly bear was the only one kind enough to give us his ‘blessings.’”

Perhaps this will start a new trend of zoo weddings? The groom understands people’s concerns about the way some zoos operated and made it clear that Minnesota Zoo satisfied his concerns about animal welfare at the venue. “There are some less than amicable zoos’ in the world that are like prisons,” he explained. “But I’d like to think that our chosen venue, the MN Zoo, is not among them since it’s state-owned and not a Zoo for the sake of profit. If I’m not mistaken, they also perform many functions critical to wildlife rehabilitation and preserving species approaching extinction.”

If you are thinking of doing likewise and getting married at a zoo to get some amazing wedding pictures, please choose carefully! Scroll down below to check out the hilarious animal pictures for yourself, as well as some other occasions when animals decided to get involved in people’s perfect moments.

I agree. I can just picture him saying: "Don't doo ittt, he's an axe murderer!!!!" *I mean this as a joke, and I am only paying attention to the bear's facial expression, I intend no accusation of any sort against anyone

The added animal participant enhances each photo making the moment unique, well, maybe not the penguin pee/poo on dress one. Oops!

Isn't this EXACTLY what you are wanting when you have a wedding at the Zoo? These are GREAT!

No need to get divorce just do a second ceremony to celebrate your whatever upcoming anniversary (even if it's an odd # like 17 years, any excuse is a good excuse :D )

As much as I think this is funny, the zoo is the last place I'd choose as my wedding venue. It's a place filled with creatures in captivity with no freedom. I wouldn't want to start a new chapter of my life from a place filled with suffering.

Free to be hunted to extinction! Zoos must be updated to give animals as much freedom as possible, but freedom in the wild is almost impossible for many species.

Its a fake picture. Pic 1 and pic 3 have the bride and groom in the same position, but the image of the bear has changed. Sorry. But nice CGI.

To me, the bear just looks hungry... and frustrated at all the food just out of reach.

The bear made it even better. And seeing from the exemples with other animals - sometimes they make the photos better and sometimes worse - it's a crapshoot (I looked the etymology up and sadly it comes from the game "craps", and not from "c**p" ☹️ 😏).
