Two miniature highland cows tied the knot in Oxford County, Ont., Friday evening, in a moo-ving, first-of-its-kind ceremony.

Dressed in a white gown and adorned with a flower crown, Muriel made her way down the ‘aisle’ to her beloved bovine, Rhett.

“Muriel came to the farm, and then we needed to get her a friend and then we needed to get her a future boyfriend,” said Cheryl Haskett, co-founder of Udderly Ridiculous Farm Life.

“We went on a search for Rhett, to find the most beautiful, handsome boy for her,” Haskett added.

Both cows came to the farm as calves and grew up in neighbouring pastures. As Haskett and staff shared their stories with visitors, the idea of a bovine marriage was born.

“We kept having guests saying … you really need to have a wedding for these cows,” said Haskett.

Months of planning brought Muriel’s dream wedding to life, complete with a traditional Highland kilt for the groom, as well as personalized vows.

“Rhett, do you promise to nuzzle only Muriel and share your hay, and stand protectively beside her when stroked?” asked Haskett, to which Rhett responded with a hearty “I moo.”

Other animals were also included in the ceremony, including a goat named “Queen Victoria,” along with her kids.
