   That can't possibly be a real photo - the shadowing and lighting effects are not correct.

   And he's not screaming.

   Something's fishy about that "photo". As mentioned above, the bear doesn't look right. But also, the bride's head is like freakishly large. Maybe he's just a tiny man. Either way, it looks like a collage made with a bear from one photo, a man from a second photo, a bride from a third photo, and a background from a 4th photo.

   Agreed, this appears to be a hoax. Everything about it, even the story,screams fake. I'm not a Photoshop expert but I do a bit of website design and photo retouching and the picture is all wrong. Unless there are some seriously strange circumstances here the lighting, shadow and perspective are all wrong. Proof please.

   Somehow I hope the picture is fake- otherwise soon we could read that the best man had Bride and Groom chop for Wedding-dinner...

   doesn't look fake to me. bear fur doesn't reflect light the same way human skin and clothing would.

    Story could be true, and this could be a bad photo job. Maybe they inserted the background in.

    Wait... Daily Mail? Yeah, story's fake.

    They are such a cute couple. Neat story. I'm going to guess it's true.

    Shae, Oh I did see the moive with Timothy Treadwell recently. Yikes! I think this bear is different. The one that ate him was old, starving and not as familiar with people.

    Yup. Photoshopped for sure. Lighting is completely off. Wait, more pictures from different years? They're really going all out with this hoax. A National Geographic special with video and interviews with friends and family? Conspiracy.

    Seriously, people. Have we lost the ability to trust? This is an extremely endearing story should get the respect that it deserves.

    Also, this extremely different form the Grizzly Man story. For one, this man raised this bear from birth and has been living with him for 6 years. The bear that Treadwell was killed by was not only a wild bear, but also one that was from a different area than the one he lived in. All of the other animals knew him, but that bear was a stranger, was starving, and had a history of aggression.

    I don't doubt he could have raised the bear from being a cub, but more than a few of those photos looks entirely faked.

    Does anyone else besides me think that the wife looks like a stripper/call girl?

    Hello PacktLikeFishees

    I like your sentiments, but the bear is still a wild animal at heart, and animals at some point ususally follow their instincts.
    Lunch time for the bear at some point...

    Looks legit to me, or are you Photoshop peps just being silly/sarcastic? As far as the lighting goes, it looks fine. Looks like a sunny day, but they're in a very shaded area due to the height of the evergreen trees around them, and the camera is adding its own light source. The woman's head is big, but not unreasonably. The angle at which her head is held would give it that appearance.
    And c'mon... its a bear not an alien. Why is the idea of a trained bear so fantastic?

    I,ll bet Sarah Palin wasn't invited to this wedding. We don't need another gun nut shooting up a wedding.

    Instead of being the "Best Man", Brutus should have been the "Ring Bear-er" he-he-he....
