You're Engaged, Planning and have that one special guest

As you plan your wedding, there are so many details to consider and decisions to be made along the way. You may also have a wedding planner to help you navigate the planning as well as many other professionals. But do you have that thought in the back of your mind that your dog would be the perfect companion for select cameo appearances? After all, your dog is your family too - and definitely much closer than your cousin from Minnesota who made the final list. Maybe you have mentioned the desire to have your dog at your wedding, but no one has really considered your idea because it is a concept that requires a lot of coordination that you personally won't have time for on your wedding day.

Why doesn't anyone understand your desire to have your dog at your wedding?

You've mentioned the idea to some of your close friends who support your idea and know your dog would steal the show for a few minutes - and you're ok with that! You've floated the idea with your family and they might not hear you because the idea is too far fetched - they are focused on your wedding. You also know that all your friends and family will be at the wedding, so who can help your transport and handle your pup on that day? Friend of a friend - probably not a great idea! Maybe you've talked to your wedding planner, but since this concept is new, they may not be familiar with professional services in this area. So you work on what boarding options are available to take care of your pup for the weekend or through your honeymoon, while somewhere deep inside you know you really want your dog at your wedding - imagine your pup as your ring bearer/flower girl timelessly captured in your professional pictures and if desired, driving down the aisle in battery operated kids toy battery charged car!
