He appeared with the rings dangling around his neck after the original bearers pretended they had forgotten them and hurriedly left.

Newlyweds Jen, 27, and Tom Loveland, 28, planned the £1,000 stunt.

Pringle was joined by pal Widget as they posed for snaps in Bridgnorth, Shrops.

Jen said: “We kept it a secret from all the guests – only me, Tom and the ring-bearers knew.

“It was really funny when they ran out and pretended they had forgotten the rings.

“The guests were muttering uncomfortably and it was so awkward until I heard someone go, ‘Oh my God, there’s a penguin’.”

The couple booked them from Heythrop Zoological Garden, Oxfordshire, after being told a goose would be too unpredictable.

And Jen said their flightless guests never flapped.

She added: “They suggested penguins because it is basically like having a dog there.

“They’re inquisitive and friendly and used to being around people. Everyone loved them.”
