Though the nuptials had been meant to end with the release of trained doves, nature intervened with an earlier display. “This white butterfly appears out of nowhere and goes straight down the aisle and flies over, between them and above them, and flies away,” the comedian Rick Overton recalled. “Who pays for that service? Everyone’s getting their phones out, looking on Google—who does that? If I’m the dove guy, I’m going, ‘Oh, well, fuck me. I’ve got the whole dove thing and this butterfly shows up?’ It just happened. We chose to make that a good omen.”
