This is more of a vent. I’m completely obsessed with all 3 of my pets (cat and 2 dogs) and while I probably can’t involve my cat and younger dog since he’s a little rambunctious I have my small dog Brooklyn who is an angel 👼.

This is more of a vent. I’m completely obsessed with all 3 of my pets (cat and 2 dogs) and while I probably can’t involve my cat and younger dog since he’s a little rambunctious I have my small dog Brooklyn who is an angel 👼. My fiancé loves our “kids” but not to the extent I do which I’m completely fine with. I want to include Brooklyn in my ceremony as a possible flower girl - my priest is going to look into if they’ll allow a dog in a Catholic Church since they seem to be more relaxed than I imagined. My FH absolutely was not into the idea of Brooklyn being the flower girl whatsoever. Ok. So I suggested if we maybe include her in our engagement photos next week and he is against that too. I guess I’m just frustrated because I want to respect his wishes but I want him to respect and at least consider mine. I do plan on having a wedding cake topper with the two of us and all the pets and a little station with them by the guestbook area.

What would you guys do if you were in my shoes? Just accept it? I know it’s probably a little hard to understand my frustration if you don’t see your pets as your “babies” the way I do 😕

    I have two cats that we both adore, and we talked about ways to incorporate them into the wedding in some way, but it just wasn't feasible. I feel similarly to dogs. The added logistics and/or care during the event is rally chaotic. I love the idea of including a pet in the engagement shoot, or maybe do a 'getting ready' pic with the puppy.

    But at the same time, I can understand just wanting wedding stuff to be about the two of you. Not only does it feel like the focus can be pulled from the two of you,,, but I also wouldn't want to look back at wedding photos and see the pets that I love so dearly that passed. I think that might break my heart.

    And I'm sure you can get someone to have him in and out for a couple of shots if you do decide to include him Smiley smile
