Dog and wedding

Wow, just wow at your absolute cheek that your dog comes before your future daughter in law.

Sorry, x-posting earlier kiki2

I’m a dog owner. My son got married abroad so I sent her to a sitter for 10 days. She had a ball. Slept in the girls bed!! My daughter got married at loch Lomond (local) we had a suite and she came with us. She was willing walked by various wedding guests (myself included) and was one of three family dogs at the venue. Non of them were in the wedding pictures. I find that bizarre!

Drop the idea of taking your dog. It’s one day. Find a dog sitter or take him to the kennels. Weddings are not for dogs.

Future post on AIBU Mumsnet

Mil brought her dog along to our wedding reception.

She was completly aware of my aversion to dogs, but insisted that her dog was included in the wedding photos.
Our wedding day was completely ruined!

I am now considering going NC (No contact)

I had this with my AC wedding. My dogs have never stayed in kennels and all the people that were petsitters were at wedding (venue some way away with most staying for 2 nights). We were in a dog friendly room but were told not to take them as they didnt want us to take them for a walk during afternoon festivities, in fact they didnt want us moving away from party room at all. We had no intention of having them in pics just staying /sleeping in our room. Between wedding meal and evening do the bride disappeared for over an hour & would not have noticed if we had taken them out for a pee run, or gone for a pee ourselves! The whole wedding was orchestrated by a bridezilla and they sre still making demands and setting rules now gc are involved. I saud that I wasnt going to go and actually wish I hadn't it was not the most enjoyable day ever. Time spent with a dog/cat is never wasted, some humans though bah

Wow - 12 pages of posts about virtually everyone agreeing that the OP should NOT try to take her dog to her son's wedding. Usually its only political posts that gain this many replies. As for the OP - I hope she has got the point by now, I would never have considered having any pets at my wedding and I think the vast majority of people agree with that!

This is a joke right?
You cant be serious. Stop making your future DIL out to be the bad guy. You are being so unreasonable, you owe your son and DIL an apology.

Wow, is this even real?

If you don't want to hear the answer, don't ask the question.

I am sorry but you have been asked beforehand not to bring the dog .it's not a member of the family it's a animal put it in kennels and enjoy your son's big day xx

How to lose you family in one easy lesson ....take your dog where’s it’s expressly not welcome
Second lesson make sure your dogs slobbers over baby (when it arrives)
I do wonder if Kiki is still wondering what to do and will we ever know ?

BlueBelle - yes, Kiki2 said earlier that she has got the point!
?

Our DD and SiL had a dog before they got married but no way would they have had it at the wedding. We have a lovely photo of DD in her wedding dress with their dog and their dog's mum (who belonged to SiL's parents) sitting on her train. The dogs stayed at our house for the duration (about the length of a working day, when they were at home anyway).

I don’t think that Baggs is out of order at all. Some dog owners are unbelievable and expect everyone to be mad on dogs. Well some of us aren’t and as far as I am concerned they are dirty, smelly creatures. Don’t get me started on the people who refer to their fur babies.
This is a wedding that the dog has not been invited to, it won’t realise and surely a couple of days being minded or in kennels won’t be traumatic and all the guests will be spared a slobbering dog around them. Surely people are more important than a dog, particularly at a wedding.

My dogs don’t slobber and they are neither dirty nor smelly. However I understand that there are those who are not in touch with their ‘man’s best friend’ side and keep my dogs well away from them.

Actually having written that I’m trying to remember if I have any friends or family like that ... and I’m struggling to come up with any.

Twelve pages about a dog that wasn't invited to a wedding! The term 'barking mad' comes to mind. ?

Quite right too. No place for dogs at a wedding.

As soon as I read the title of the post I had to laugh, because I didn’t think it could be serious. I can’t believe anyone would expect to be allowed to take a dog to a wedding. Yes you are being unreasonable.

Take your dog and risk your son and DIL never wanting to see you again! Their day not yours, ridiculous to even think about taking a dog to a wedding especially when you have been asked not to take it!

Tongue-in-cheek post alert.

Wondering.... pondering.... do you suppose that the OP's annoyance was really caused by her devious doggy devotion being outflanked and circumvented by her son and his fiancée, who presumably know her well, telling her outright that she's not to bring the damn dog?

So all that was left for her to do was to bewail this awful fate on Gransnet? Maybe writing down the woe will have helped in the end. Gransnet can be good that way.

The fact that you even mention taking the dog "anyway" doesn't look great.
You have until next year to get your dog used to a dog sitter or a local kennels. It's that simple. I moved countries and had to do it with my 10 year old dog. She was fine.

Dog at a wedding - no way, unless it belongs to one or both of the couple getting married. It's like saying I've been invited therefore I can bring a guest of my own......!

I think the OK has had an answer to her question and we maybe need to leave her in peace. Enjoy the wedding anyway when it comes.

OP ....sorry Kiki. Stupid auto correct.

The question was AIBU?

The answer is YES!
