Pets at the Wedding

They Let the Fur Fly in the Bahamas!

July 13, 2007

"Payton has been like a daughter to us throughout our entire relationship. When we decided to get married in the Bahamas, I immediately started planning on how to get her there," says Brandi, a Sicily Island, La., bride. "After many long hours of research, detailed paperwork – and a couple of last minute visits to the vet to make sure everything was in order – she was able to make it to the Bahamas." But the pup wasn't just there to roll around in the surf: She was there with a job to do! "[She was] our flower girl," says Brandi. "Payton loved every minute of it (she's a beach fanatic!) and we were so glad she was able to be there!"

It's a Doggone Wedding When the Dog's Gone!

July 06, 2007

Caulkins thought his dog Chonch would be a cute, fun addition to his wedding. Instead, the pooch sent wedding guests off a massive manhunt! "My niece took Chonch outside for a walk [and] she accidentally dropped the leash and he took off. The wedding party spent the rehearsal evening in the woods looking for Chonch — and my mom ended up in poision ivy." Things got worse that night, he says: "We stayed up all night – but only heard coyotes." Terrifying indeed, but Caulkins was in for a wedding miracle. "Hours before the wedding, neighbors called [saying they] had heard a yelp. My dad found Chonch [with his leash] wrapped around a tree! They arrived 30 minutes before the wedding." All's well that ends well!

"We were unable to bring them to the chapel but decided they'd be a hit at the reception. During the reception we had the dogs wear their beautiful bride and groom outfits." The guests — and the pups — had a great time, she says. "The dogs loved the beach!"
