French salesman Dagobert Renouf had been dreaming of marrying his fiance Anna Plynina. The only thing between him and his dreams was the fact that he couldn't afford the wedding. He did not want to take the wedding experience away from his beloved, which gave him a "million-dollar idea". Back in July, he took to X to announce that he was opening up slots on his suit jacket for companies that wanted their brand logos to be advertised. The post went viral, and the ads got him around $10,000 (approximately Rs 8,80,000) through advertising fees.

Renouf shared that he was broke, almost homeless, but still wanted to marry his wife. The idea began when he asked for help from his entrepreneur friends and one of them joked about giving him money if he put a logo on his suit, and the idea stuck. Renouf got married with his suit featuring 26 different logos of his entrepreneur friends' startups. He claimed that he was stressed about the logo visibility and getting the suit made at such short notice. If you're broke and in doubt, know that advertisements have your back - and maybe the front of your suit too.

Baa, baa, white sheep, have you any rings?

A British couple ties the knot with a disabled sheep as the ring-bearer

Jake Ratcliffe, 34, met his wife, Rosie when they were volunteering at an animal rescue center - Millington's Magical Barn in the UK. After spending so much time together, tending to animals and looking after them, the couple decided to tie the knot, right at the barn where they had met.

The ring bearer for the ceremony was the most adorable animal - a rescue sheep named Bunny, who was born without her back legs and walked around with the help of her adapted chair. Bunny had arrived at the rescue center six weeks before the wedding, just when they were turning the cow barn into a wedding venue. Feels like she was the chosen one all along!
