It seems as though it is becoming more and more common for couples to include their pets in their weddings. One of the cutest ways {in my opinion} to include the pup is to have them be part of the wedding ceremony. I have a serious case of jealousy that WeddingBee blogger Mrs. Lovebug was able to include their cute pup as the ring bearer as seen in this post with no mishaps. I can just imagine how my crazy little monkeys would look running down the aisle!

However, if one is going to include a pet in their wedding there are quite a few things to consider... will the venue allow it, scheduling a grooming appointment, and keeping the pup happy and properly 'exercised' {to avoid over-exuberance} are just a few. The authors of Petside.com have put together a section full of tips on including the pet at the wedding. It looks as though it would be fairly helpful for those planning to have their pets at their wedding. And if you are or have included your pets please to do share as I love to see the wedding photos where the dog is part of the day!
