Pets in your Wedding?

There was a recent poll that showed:

- 43% of people involved a pet or plan to involve a pet in their wedding.
- 11% did not include a pet in their wedding but knew someone who did
- 47% only had humans in their wedding

I was surprised at how many people plan in involve a pet in their wedding!

This can be tricky, I know if it were my dogs there would be a lot of pandemonium and running around to keep them under control! So, if you are planning on including your pets you might want to think about how your pets will react to the new surroundings and the crowd. Plus, you probably would want to designate someone who knows and likes your pet (and someone you pet also is comfortable with) to oversee him/her before, during and after the ceremony.

Also, just as incorporating small children in the ceremony, you might want to make sure they are they lynchpin to your ceremony in case they have a melt-down when it’s time to perform!

Is anyone out there including their pets? Any advice or interesting stories?
