Parker the Ring Bearer?

[Katie, John & Parker pup]

Just thinking about our wedding in May and was wondering if it is totally dorky and weird to have Parker as part of the day as I would love to have my baby in my photos since he was part of the engagement shoot! I could get him a nice bow-tie and he could be my ring bearer?? lol

His trainer from his puppy classes actually offers this service and since everything else is so upside down with my wedding planning and my parents probably not even coming, I felt like doing something fun. The original theme of the wedding was supposed to be FUN anyway because we decided to get married next to a carousel.

I don't know...I don't wanna be one of "those people" as people have said to me but I guess I will see...I gotta see how much the trainer charges to transport him and get him ready because we have a super budget now that we are suddenly paying for everything now because when we signed all the contracts, my parents were going to pay 50%. OY

UPDATE: The dog trainer who could deal with Parker was okay financially but happens to have another wedding on the same Friday night as ours! There goes that!

Do IT.  Don't even question it, just do it.  Remember, what can go wrong, will go wrong.  Laugh at all those things. Weddings can be like that. Do what you love, what you want, and enjoy.  After all, it is your one and only wedding day.  Best Wishes

Thanks for the encouragement! I worry too much about everyone else and just feel like with all the stress of my mom being ill and probably not attending my wedding, I just wanna do things that are fun and memorable and light hearted now! Life is too short!

Oh you already are one of 'those people' -- your doodle is in your engagement photos =)  But that's okay, we DK'ers are 'those people' too =)  I think it's a fun idea!  If I ever remember the name of the member, I'll have to link you to some great wedding photos with a doodle in it.

oh, I love this! Almost makes me want to get married again, just so I can have my dogs in my wedding! I would so do this!

[Jennifer and Jack]

I love that idea!! I also love how in the first picture you are kissing  Parker instead of your soon to be husband.. LOL that cracks me up.

Parker is adorable and part of your family, of course he would be part of your wedding, I am sorry your family is being like they are about the wedding....
