Before deciding to include Fido in your wedding ...
Pets are full-fledged members
of many families and even, apparently,
families-to-be. In its
2016 American Wedding Study,
Brides magazine found that 8 percent
of wedding ceremonies included pets.
Though no studies to date have examined
which animals are most likely to
make an appearance at couples’ nuptials,
it’s fair to assume that dogs, which
tend to get out of the house more than
most other types of pets, are the most
common furry bridesmaids, groomsmen
or ring bearers.
Before including dogs in their wedding
plans, couples may want to consider
a few factors to ensure asking Fido to
be there come the big day is what’s best
for couples, their guests and, of course,
their beloved pooches.
Eligibility
Some venues do not allow pets that
are not documented assistance animals
on the premises. Confirm a venue’s pet
policy before purchasing any wedding
day attire for your dog. Couples who
plan to take a limousine to and from
their wedding also should confirm that
the cars allow pets before booking.
Personality
No two dogs are the same. Some might
love people and attention, while others
might prefer one-on-one time with their
owners. Dogs that are sociable and unaggressive
may make perfect additions to
wedding ceremonies, while animals that
exhibit anxiety around strangers or seem
uncomfortable in noisy settings should
be kept out of the ceremony.
Health
Couples who bonded over a love of
their dog may really hope to include
their furry friend in the festivities, but
should not do so at the expense of the
animal’s health. Outdoor wedding ceremonies
under sunny skies may produce
potentially unhealthy conditions for certain
breeds or older dogs. Dogs that
have difficulty getting around may need
a red wagon (and attendant) to make
the rounds at the wedding.
Assistance
Couples will be busy on their wedding
days, so they may need to arrange for a
caretaker to look after their dog during
and after the ceremony. Asking a guest
or guests to play this role may be asking
too much. A professional pet sitter
might work, but that can be costly, as
couples must pay for the sitter and will
likely need to pay for the sitter to have a
seat and a meal during the reception.
