Are weddings going to the dogs?

A recent article in Newsweek magazine states that an interesting development is taking place in weddings. Pets are becomming part of the ceremonies. Some people are even calling this phenomenon a trend. Most dogs prefer to be ring bearers while some cats prefer to be carried in lieu of a bouquet.

This should not be too surprising since pets can be an integral part of a family. So some couples include them in the wedding event itself.

Of course an entire industry has been created to cater to the pet crowd… everything from dog tuxedo costumes with tails & top hat, to jewelry has been crafted by pet stores eager to meet the needs of this growing segment of the wedding business.

So instead of putting rover in the kennel for the day, make him part of your day. Woof!

And what about guests who might be allergic to your pet cat’s dander? Well, advance planning is a must if you intend to include your pet in the festivities. It’s also not a bad idea to have a pet handler nearby to take care of any.. a-hem, necessary private moments a pet may have.
