Maybe you don’t have anyone in your life that is roughly between the ages of 6 months to 9 years. Maybe you don’t have a beloved niece to be your sweet flower girl or a handsome little nephew to act as the ring bearer, but you do have a sweet, cuddly animal in your home that you want to be a part of the special day. Have you thought about including him or her? Find a little tuxedo for that poodle, or an outfit for that yorkie and put them in as ring bearer or flowergirl.
I must say, I have only had a few experiences that involved having pets in the wedding and both times were pretty bad experiences. The first time involved a bulldog. He walked down the aisle perfectly on a leash and behaved so great. No barking, nothing. It was going perfect. Then the bulldog fell asleep in the front row and started snoring! SO LOUD! Oh, and it was during the vows! It was such an important, sacred part of the ceremony and it was extremely hard to focus because everyone was laughing and snickering at the dog snoring.
The second time involved a dog taking a lot of bathroom breaks down the aisle. NOT PRETTY!
Obviously, the experience will differ according to the animal that is involved and how he/she acts. It is a great idea to include pets especially if they are extremely important to the bride and groom. Just make sure your venue allows pets before you book them!
