However , the parkreportedlyonly has two non - lethal bear incidents with human beings per year , with 10 fatality since 1967 .

“ It definitely gives fresh meaning to the wedding set phrase ‘ behave witness ’ , ” Giles said in thevideobelow . “ Since I became a videographer , I ’ve seen some jolly crazy thing , and I ’ve been to some really nerveless position . But none of that is as crazy as when I saw a grizzly bear kill amooseduring a wedding . ” Bear in mind , Giles haspreviously shot a weddingnear the roilinglavaof an Icelandic volcano .

agree to Giles , the unfortunatemoosehad plausibly been chased for a while , as ithad been spottedwith its female parent 10 minutes prior . Inanother video , the mother moose can be seen swimming away from the grisly grizzly aspect .

“ Thegrizzly bearchased the moose off the mountain and down onto the shore of the lake while the stableman was reading his vows , ” Giles explained . “ Why did n’t I entrance it on camera you necessitate ? Because I ’m a good wedding videographer , and I was take the groom ! ”
