Couple Uses Chicken as Bridesmaid

from WDIV Detroit TV 4

Chicken was a part of the wedding of Terry Morris and Renee Biwer, but it had nothing to do with the menu or the name of a popular dance.

Henrietta the hen was a bridesmaid. She's also the pet of the groom.

Terry Morris has had Henrietta for 12 years, ever since the hen came into his wheel alignment shop in Olympia, Washington.

He said he kept the hen a secret from his bride-to-be at first because he didn't want her to think he was crazy. She didn't, and the couple now travel with Henrietta and keep her in hotel rooms with them.

The new Mrs. Morris said Henrietta is part of the family, and "like one of our children," it's important to include her.
