Of course your pet can be in the wedding ceremony!


One of the fantastic things about creating customized wedding ceremonies is that each ceremony is uniquely about you and your wishes. With that in mind, I wanted to talk briefly about having your pets in the wedding! We have conducted several weddings in which "man's best friend" was the actual ring bearer!

I am a pet lover myself, so I can surely understand when a couple asks me of ways to include their dog, for example, because their dog is a member of their family. I love the idea of including them, and most of the time, the dogs that I have seen in the wedding ceremonies that I have officiated at, have been very well behaved and people truly enjoyed seeing their involvement.

Many specialty bridal shops now understand the desire for couples to include their furry friends and I have seen quite a few mini tuxedo's for your four legged ring bearer! At a wedding in Maine, a beautiful lab mix dog came down the aisle to the command of his owner with the rings securely attached to his collar, then remained sitting next to the owner during the ring ceremony. At the end of the ceremony, the dog happily trotted off with his parents as they began their future together.

Don't be afraid to ask your wedding minister or officiant how you can include your pets. If you are a couple that has had your pet in your wedding, tell me about it!!! Send me a photo to my email at lovingunity@gmail.com and I will gladly post it. Have a look at http://www.bridaloccasion.com/ to get wings or rring bearer pillows for your pet.
