Henrietta, a hen, was a bridesmaid. "She was a very good girl," maid of honor Paulette Winn said. "She wanted to eat part of the flower she was wearing." Henrietta is the pet of the groom. About the size of a dove, she fit into the crook of flower girl Jasmyne Morris' arm. Jasmyne, 8, said holding the hen through the ceremony was boring, but overall "it was fun." Jasmyne, who is Terry Morris' granddaughter, has known Henrietta all of her life. "You can play with her, and she's a tame chicken," she said. "It was only natural for Henrietta to be in the wedding, Renee Morris said. "She's a part of the family, and like one of our children," she said. "It is important to include her."
