Wildlife is too friendly!

FI and I are getting married in 2 weeks on a gazebo next to a lake.  We stopped by yesterday to figure out some last minute logistics and had dozens and dozens of ducks and geese following us everywhere.  FI even had some young ducklings sitting on his shoes.   We also had 3 squirrels circling us looking for food as well.  Granted I do not mind all of the wildlife (veterinary student) but I wonder how they are going to act with the wedding and reception.

When I die I want to come back as one of the animals at that lake....fat and spoiled rotten :o

Re: Wildlife is too friendly!

  • I think it would be a fantastic story later to talk about all the little animals being there.  It would make me feel like a princess out of a Disney movie with them all around lol.  I would warn anyone who will be dealing with food though, make sure they have their guard up if any of it will be within reach of the animals.  Preferably let guests know if you want them feeding them or not, maybe even have something guests can feed them, so they don't give them anything that would make them sick.  Just don't use anything edible for the toss unless you want covered in ducklings and squirrels.
  • Maybe you could hire a local HS kid to stand far away from you with bread. The geese will go towards him and not bother guests. I have seen some mean ones, especially if there are babies around. I personally hate geese and think they are gross and make lawns a mess. I wouldn't want them around my wedding.
