30 Absolutely Adorable Puppies & Dogs at Real Weddings

Whether they stand up with you at the ceremony as an honorary bridesmaid or groomsman, walk down the aisle as a flower girl or ring bearer, or join guests in the crowd as a witness to your nuptials, having your dog with you on the big day is high on many duos' lists of priorities. If you're having your pup attend the wedding, just be sure to have a plan: Will someone take him or her home after photos are taken, will they make an appearance at the reception only, or will you hire a professional to watch the dog on-site, so you can enjoy the festivities with all of your guests?

Regardless of how you and your future spouse choose to include your dog, the opportunity creates a great excuse to find adorable outfits and embellished collars for your pup – and the photos will be a wonderful addition to your wedding album.
