YOU could forgive guests at this wedding for not completely concentrating on the bride and groom – standing next to them was an 800lb grizzly bear!But this huge beast was not only invited, he had been made ‘best man’ at the ceremony, after developing a life-long bond with keeper Casey Anderson.
Brutus stole the show as Anderson and actress Missi Pyle recited their vows, and he even tucked into the wedding cake at the reception afterwards, wowing the 85 guests who dared to attend.
Anderson, from Montana, raised Brutus from a cub after he was born into captivity and faced euthanasia because he couldn't be released into the wild. The bear has now grown to over 7ft tall, and weighs in at over half a tonne.
The pair have developed such a close bond over the years that they often eat, walk, swim and wrestle together, and even relax in the Jacuzzi – as you can see in our gallery here!
