    I'm not a cruel person! Why is it cruel? I dont know much about it just have seen it and heard of the meaning behind it.

    Please do not do this or a butterfly release...  It is VERY likely that the doves or butterflies will not survive on their own once released!

    Plus you don't want birds crapping on your guests as they fly away.

    Do something else that doesn't involve live animals, like bubbles, bells, birdseed or biodegradable confetti.

    We didn't throw or release anything. People clapped when we came out of the church.

    Maybe you should do some research. 

    Read this article and you will understand why it is cruel.  Stick to the bubbles please!

    Alo read this (it's from a butterfly group, but the same probably applies to doves - you're releasing animals into an unfamiliar environment): http://www.naba.org/weddings.html

    One of the brides on "Four Weddings" (she got married at Crystal Plaza) had a butterfly release, and afterward, they showed some of them still in the box, looking like they were dying. I can't believe she still won!

    As for doves, this article explains the difference between them and white homing pigeons, which are trained birds that are best for this purpose. Still, I wouldn't do anything with live animals. Even if they're trained, it's still risky.

    I agree with PP. It seems cruel and is very unnecessary.

    Dove releases are not cruel. They use white racing homing pigeons. The birds will fly up, circle to get their bearings, and fly back to their home. It wouldn't pay if a company had to replace their birds with each release. Just ask what kind of bird they are actually using so you know the company is reputable.
