If a dog is really man’s best friend, why shouldn’t your favorite puppy be a part of your wedding ceremony? It may sound strange, but animal lovers agree that having their cat or dog present to share in their big day is important.

Seeing a kitty or pup stroll down the aisle would have been unheard of years ago, but that’s no longer the case. In anticipation of such events, many pet costume designers offer tiny tuxedos for your furry friend in a variety of sizes.

These days, the groom’s tux isn’t the only thing with a tail. A more traditional use of animals at a wedding would be in the release of doves. A dove symbolizes peace and romance, which is why many happy couples are deciding to welcome them into their ceremony. The release of doves is a beautiful, breathtaking sight to behold and can make a wedding day photo even more precious. There are many different breeds, but the most popular among weddings are snow white doves.

Every little girl loves butterflies and, after all, isn’t that what she feels in her stomach when she is around the groom-to-be? Well, maybe not literally but everyone is familiar with that old saying. Truthfully, butterflies are quickly becoming a wonderful wedding inclusion. If you are considering a butterfly release, keep in mind that these beautiful creatures enjoy the warmth and can only survive in fair weather. If you’re planning a winter wedding, butterflies may not be an option unless you live in a warm climate with a very mild winter. Butterflies are colorful, happy and whimsy creatures.

Much like love, you cannot tell in their earliest stages how beautiful they will become. But, after time, their beauty is undeniable. For the true lover of animals, a zoo wedding is no longer out of the question. Couples who want to exchange vows amongst a park full of nature’s rarest and most exotic animals may do so by contacting their desired location and inquiring about wedding ceremony availability. This is still somewhat new, so not all zoo facilities may be accommodating.

However, it has already happened at the San Diego Zoo in California and is a tradition that will likely to start to occur more often as the word gets around. Another terrific way to incorporate animals into a wedding is with horses. These tall creatures are ideal for a country ceremony. They can be used for transportation in a horse drawn carriage ride for the newlyweds. Horses may also be ridden without the use of a carriage, but only if they are trained for such purposes.

Animals can be our very best of friends and they love us unconditionally. If either the bride or groom have a special pet, it’s a terrific idea to include them in the special day. If you’re just animals lovers at heart, a nature wedding would be ideal. There are so many ways that your furry friends can add to the ceremony, but be sure they are well behaved and comfortable being around a large group of people.
