Golden Retriever Gets Included In Precious Wedding Moment That Will Make You Emotional
When people make pets a part of the family, they do everything together — like going on road trips and even being included in weddings. In fact, this golden retriever on TikTok was a big part of her pet parents' big day tying the knot!
The simple post features Charlee the golden retriever fitting right in alongside her mom's bridesmaids, who are all patiently waiting with their backs turned for the big wedding dress reveal. The precious pooch is seen sitting in between all the colorfully dressed women, as if she's "just one of the girls," as the post states.
"She's like 'what are we looking at girls!!!'" one person ran to the comments to say. "She's so happy to be included," another noted. While Charlee may not have had a dress, she certainly fit right in, proving that four-legged family members are deserving of an invite too!
Ways to include your pet in your wedding
A wedding day is supposed to be about celebrating love, so why should your four-legged family member miss out? Yes, pets can have a starring role too, whether that means making an aisle entrance, posing for photos, or simply popping by for some post-ceremony cuddles. And while you have more options with dogs, cats don't necessarily have to be left out!
A pup can serve as a ring bearer or flower pet, while a cat might do best making an appearance in pre-wedding photos or portraits. Just add a cute bow tie, floral collar, or other festive accessories or wedding attire, and you've got the cutest member of the wedding party. If your pet isn't exactly aisle-walking material, there are plenty of other creative ways to include them in the wedding; you can feature their photo on welcome signs or seating place cards, put their face on the cake, or have them make a brief appearance during the reception.
Before making your pet part of the plans, though, check the venue's rules and choose a dedicated handler who can focus on their needs to make sure they stay safe throughout the day. Most importantly, think about your pet's personality. If crowds, noise, and unfamiliar places stress them out, they'll be much happier celebrating with you at home. If they do come, just watch out – they just might steal the wedding spotlight!
