As a fellow dog mom, it breaks my heart every time I have to leave my beloved pup at home for an event or a dinner where he isn’t welcomed. I always spend those extra moments with my fluffy friend, promising I’ll return soon. So, whenever I get the chance to bring him along, it’s a toss-up who’s happier – me or him.
Imagine my joy scrolling through social media when I stumbled upon the most heartwarming story – newlyweds who decided to include dogs in their wedding!

When dog lovers Karya and Oliver Davies decided to get married, months of meticulous planning ensued. From choosing the perfect dress to finding the right venue, the couple had their hands full. Yet, there was one special guest they couldn’t imagine their day without – Rufus!
“We love dogs in our family; they are such a big part of our lives. We couldn’t imagine our day without them. When the registrar initially read our vows, she thought we were talking about a young child, but it was our golden retriever, Rufus,” Davies shared with Newsweek.
Discovering their venue was dog-friendly, they made the heartwarming decision – dogs were officially invited!

The rules were simple: if you got an invitation and had a furry friend, bring them along! And bring them they did. Seven adorable pups graced the event: Rufus, Orlando, Eddie, Dexter, Willow, Harley, and Melodie. They stole the show until the bride’s grand entrance, of course!
Photographer Sophie Collins captured these precious moments and shared them on social media, enchanting animal lovers worldwide. The photos and videos showed these well-behaved pups being the best guests anyone could ask for.

The internet fell in love with this unique celebration. Comments poured in, with many expressing how adorable the furry guests were and considering doing the same for their big day.
“More weddings like this. I think I’ll do the same,” one commenter wrote.
“My kind of party. I’d look after all of them while the owners had fun,” another shared.
A commenter perfectly summed it up: “What a pawfect wedding.”
One even pondered a unique twist: “Would it be weird if I only invited the dogs as guests??”
A heartfelt thank you to these wonderful newlyweds for including their fur baby in such a special way. You made many pups extremely happy. Best wishes to you both – thank you!
