For many people pets are loved like members of family. They would no sooner exclude their beloved dog from their wedding than their sisters or brothers. If your pet is one of your best friends, make sure to find a way to include your pet in the wedding.
To have the dog as the brides escort, is one of the most popular ways to include them in a wedding. Many a bride has walked down the aisle with her dog instead of her dad. Don’t hurt your fathers feeling. Allow him to escort you down the ailsle and let the flower girl or maid of honor lead your dog down the aisle. Definitely plan to dress your pooch for the occasion! Put a pearl necklace on your pug or a bow tie on your chocolate lab to make them look festive enough for a wedding.
Be sure to keep the venue in mind, if you decide to have your pet in your wedding.. Your parish priest is not going to allow your dog to walk down the aisle of the church , no matter how amazing she looks in her pearl necklace. Surprisingly, some large hotel chains actually are inviting to pets, so a hotel might be an option for an indoor ceremony site. However, they may have strict rules about animals in the dining room, so be sure to have an exit plan in place for your puppy when the ceremony concludes.
Pets are better accommodated in outdoor venues. Most likely the state park does not care if your iguana participates in your ceremony or if you want to include your sweet Pekinese in your wedding photos. Some of the most charming wedding photographs involve the bride in her beautiful gown and pearl necklace sharing a moment with an adorable pet. If you have a larger pet like a horse, an outdoor site is your only hope of being able to include the animal in your nuptials. There is no way around it arriving by horseback is a very impressive entrance for a wedding ceremony.
There are many different things to keep in mind when considering having a pet participate in your wedding. Most importantly is the temperament of the animal. There is a reason that you don’t see too many cats in weddings, after all – the cat would be too busy playing or hiding to participate in the proceedings. Always remeber your pet has feelings to. If your pet is skittish or shy you are doing your pet a disservice by including it in your wedding, no matter how cute the puppy looks in a pearl necklace or bow tie.. Dogs with aggressive tendencies should be left at home, it goes without saying!
