Hands up if you\u2019re the type of person who shows strangers pictures of their pets… or if you celebrate your pet\u2019s birthday every year. Anyone? If that sounds like you, you might be trying to figure out a way to include your furry family member in your big day. Don\u2019t worry, you\u2019re not the only one. <\/span><\/p>

Many couples feel extremely attached to their pets and recognize the major impact they have on our lives. As such, many brides and grooms have found awesome ways to involve their pets, here are some of the best <\/span>(please note, most of these work best with a dog, however some couples have opted to include their cats, parrots and even goats!):<\/span><\/i><\/p>

  1. Ring Bearer or Flower Girl: <\/b>Have your furry friend carry the rings down the aisle, led by a friend, or, if they are well trained, they can walk themselves.<\/li>
  2. Groomsman or Bridesmaid: <\/b>Have your pet stand with you as you say \u2018I do\u2019 to the love of your life. Matching bow ties for the gents, and beautiful floral collars for the ladies! Have someone in your bridal party hold on to them, or if they are well trained, they can sit with you.<\/span><\/li>
  3. The First Look: <\/b>This works especially well with dogs. Have your photographer capture the first moment your pup sees you in your dress, and how excited they get.<\/li>
  4. Giving the Bride Away: <\/b>This works best with larger animals like horses. Involve your best friend by riding them down the aisle to meet your soon-to-be spouse, and make sure your photographer captures that special moment between the two of you.<\/li>
  5. Pictures: <\/b>If your pet is well trained, they can make an excellent addition to your photos. Make sure to include them in both posed and candid shots to really capture their personalities.<\/li> <\/ol>
