lovely-family-000087191055_MediumThey’re adorable, unpredictable, and hilarious. Some people do not want children, let alone pets, at their wedding. For others, the presence of furry family is an absolute requirement!

How involved your pet should be in your wedding depends on how they act around strangers/crowds; if they are trained or can be trained in time for the ceremony; and if you have someone you can trust to watch them while you’re cutting the cake.

Sound good? Then check out these 10 fun ways to include your pet as you get married and move forward in your love story.

Getting Ready with Your Pet

You can take photos before the first look or ceremony with your fur baby. Take care with your wedding attire and be sure they have clean paws.

Walk Down the Aisle

Ask the bridesmaids or flower girls to walk (or carry) your pet down the aisle! You can decorate the leash or collar with flowers or leaves in keeping with your overall theme.

Best Dog /Ring Bearer

If your dog is well-trained, you can give them the honor of ring-bearer! Slide on a collar or pillow with strings, or deck out your pup in a bandana or bow tie to mark the occasion.

Animal Wedding Theme

Some couples do an all-out animal wedding theme, and invite exotic animals with their trainers to the big day. On your registry, you can even ask guests to donate to your preferred charity.
