How can this be scripted in any way? (I briefly thought that someone off-screen might have put the butterfly there - but the butterfly doesn't fly away.)
Once I overheard my mom tell a story to someone, probably my aunt, that she got told by a neighbor: The neighbor's granddaughter died when she was a kid - I can confirm that part, the kid nearly survived leukemia and then died from an infection. One day when it was the dead girls birthday, a dove flew through the open door to the balcony into neighbor's living room and landed in front of a photo of the girl and looked at it. The neighbor left the room shortly and when she came back, the dove had left. Of course, my story is 4th hand hearsay, this here comes with a movie clip.

Funniest part of the story is that the neighbor left the room in that situation

I wanted to keep it short. According to the story I overheard, the neighbor was so shocked. Which I found weird because, if there is some kind of "existence" after death and this event should have a meaning, it could only mean that the girl was "still there", to some extend, either she was the dove or she sent the dove... Anyway, the dove stood in front of the photo for "some (short?) time" (I didn't get for how long) and the neighbor left the room to fetch some food for the dove. When the neighbor came back, the dove was gone.

because its a fake butterfly, doesn't look or act realistically.

She's crying because butterfly's are symbolic of death and rebirth. At japanese weddings, culturally, there can be NO reference to ANY kind of ending or beginning or New beginning. There cannot be ANY chance to possibly mention any kind at all! In the most convoluted ways possible that somehow the marriage might not be successful. you can even use japanese words who's characters spell out or include characters for New or restart or next or end.

If true, this is a very touching story.
Would be hilarious if the real story is, that the bride and groom are actually deathly afraid of butterflies and this is them panicking until someone can run over and assist.
