I love animals and critters... from the toad to the elephant~ well, aside from the butterfly, I could do without the insect world. And snakes...oh, and I really don't like woodchucks either. Anyways...
Pets. Do they really belong in or at a wedding? (I won't even get started on the practice of humans marrying their pets. That's just a realm of ridiculousness of another dimension. ...Is this only in America?) Aren't they just a little too unpredictable to have around the smoked salmon you paid %$#$ for? Sure, they're stinkin cute running around a garden wedding with a bow around their neck... in the movies. But, wearing tuxes and satin and lapping up your champagne behind your back?
I get it. Your pet is family. And, makes for great photojournalism. But, when you're delegating wedding day duties to those trusted individuals, how do you say "Beth, you get to be the pooper scooper, OK?" What's Beth going to say?? Awkward.
- Replace these tennis balls with your smoked salmon...
Obviously, I haven't been to a wedding where there's been integral pet involvement, but I'd probably be the self-appointed guest that hangs out with the dog and the little kids to make sure a tail isn't stepped on or a piece of cake isn't snatched out of a tiny hand... but that's just me.
Who's been to a wedding where pets play an integral role like the ring bearer or the clean plate foreman?
