Including Your Loved Ones

So one of the very very first things I said to Mr. 16th about the wedding was "Cocoa can walk down the aisle!" Our flower girl is his adorable little cousin (who is also his god-daughter) and her ridiculously cute little brother is the ring bearer. How cool would it be to have them walk with our little furball!?!

Well. He was not having any of it. And now that I think about it, our high-strung, super high-energy little dog is probably not going to work out at the ceremony. I had resigned myself to this and was trying to figure out how I could at least get a few photos with her while I was in my dress. (Stop by the house before the reception? Have someone bring her to the photos?) Fortunately, that isn't a problem anymore. Since we're having the reception in his parents' backyard, Cocoa can just step outside to visit with everyone and then head back in for a nap in her crate.

This probably makes me a lot happier than it really should. I mean, she's a dog, right? But I love her. And now she can be a part of our wedding. And that makes me smile.

How about you? Including any pets? What would your guy say if you suggested it?
