Pets at Weddings

Dogs have always been considered mans best friend, but some people take this a step further, and have them as the ‘Best Man’ at their wedding.

Ok, I admit, I am a bit animal-daft myself. I have a little Westie, and he is my pride and joy. I even have to sheepishly admit to having a few items of clothing in his wardrobe for bad weather. (Well, he might get cold.)

However, even if he were well trained enough to trot down the aisle carrying a basket of rose petals in his mouth, or with a ring pillow delicately balanced on his head, I doubt I would offer him a role in a wedding. (Sorry, Sam!)

However, if you are keen on including your pet pooch in your nuptials, there are companies to help you to find just the right accessories to dress up Fido for the occassion.

If you draw the line at a tasteful bowtie, then Darling Pet Boutique in the US has a nice selection of neckwear for dogs of all sizes, while Max and Margot offer a similar selection to the UK.

If you really want to go for the kitsch factor, you can even buy your pets tuxedos and wedding gowns from the previously mentioned suppliers, or from Pet Haven. (US)

And finally, if you want your pets to be able to celebrate their love in their very own wedding celebrations, check out the services offered by companies such as Fine Feathers in the UK, who will arrange and conduct the ceremony, as well as provide flowers and a wedding cake made of dog food!
