Narwhal Wedding Ring Toss   (+9, -1)  [vote for, against]

Like a normal wedding, except that when the rings are exchanged, they are not small gold bands slipped daintily on the fingers, but large rubber hoops which are to be tossed over and onto the attractive two or three metre spiral horn which is strapped to the noggin of each of the parties to be wedded. Successful tossage of ring should elicit whale song noises and dolphinous clicks of approval from the bride's side and the groom's side respectively.

I get the feeling there should be plastic bags with goldfish as table decorations or something.

Seeing that narwhals would likely become as ruthlessly persecuted as sharks now are for their fins or, indeed, as rhinos for their horns, I have to fishbone this. Sorry.

If you made it an antelope horn, at least it could be farmed.

I never said nuffink about it being actual narwhal horn; you can make the horn out of whatever material you fancy. The only truly narwhalian element is the positioning of the horn. I was going to call it Unicorn Wedding Ring Toss, but unicorns are, like horses, silly, whereas the narwhal as a quiet dignity that I feel is suitable for the ecclesiastical setting.

But with narwhals, only one sex has the horn, and it's really a tooth coming out of their lip. As a prospective groom who disapproves of body piercing, I must suggest that you take this back to the drawing board.

Perhaps a rhino wedding ring toss. They are graceful and delicate animals suitable to the solemnety of a wedding, aren't they? and with a big horn stuck on each nose, kissing the bride will be much more exciting.

there's also the additional benefit of having the bride's veil form an attractive tent shape.
