As some of you may or may not know, I am a HUGE dog lover. My own lil pup Harvick is spoiled to the bone! But as much as I love my little guy, would I have let him take part in my wedding? Hugely popular right now is to have your furry friends included on your big day. I have seen many pictures of animals, mainly dogs that have been in the actually wedding party, and although the pictures are great, what was the day like? Although my dog is trained, I dont know how he would react to actually sitting like a gentleman throughout the ceremony, or walking down the aisle (most definitely not on his own). While our animals have probably been in our lives for a significant period of time and hold a huge place in our hearts, a wedding may not be where to include them in the festivities. If I had someone on the day of our wedding that was specifically designated to taking care of our dog, I probably would have done so! Rather than worrying on the wedding day about your pet, why not include him/her/them in the engagement photo session? This is one thing I had wished we had done, and so now, I think a "family" photo session is in the near future!
