It's no secret the Royals love their corgies, but it's unlikely the regal pooches will be present for Wills' wedding to Kate Middleton. Luckily, us commoners' weddings carry a touch less pomp and circumstance, so if you want to get your pet involved in the ceremony – you can. Here are some suggestions for including your dog, cat, rabbit or goldfish in your big day…
Wedding Party Member
One of the more traditional ways to include your pet is as ring bearer or flower dog. This works well if your pet is very well behaved and easy to train.
A Walk down the Aisle
If your pet isn't easily trained, or gets skittish around large groups of people, have a family member carry it down the aisle and hold them during the ceremony.
Absent pet?
If your pet can't be at the ceremony, have the officiator mention your pets or write them into your vows.
The wedding photos
Have your pet in the wedding party or family photos on the big day. You can also include them in your official wedding photos taken prior to the ceremony.
At the Reception
At the reception anything goes! Outdoor parties can be especially pet friendly, allowing your pet to have plenty of room to roam.
