Dog and wedding

It’s given me a good laugh reading through all these comments. I think the main opinion 99.99% is the answer is no dogs at weddings. I find it hard to believe anyone has actually asked, and to be upset that it’s not welcome.

I know someone who insists on her dog sleeping in her bed when staying at other people’s houses, and that has caused disagreements, but even she did not take her jolly old dog to her son’s wedding!

My daughter's SiL (husbands sister) had their large dog at their wedding, which was a beach wedding. Her hubby had it at the altar. The dog saw the bride and promptly ran up to her (yes it was on a lead) and jumped up at her. It then did a runner and while everyone else looked on stunned it was the bride who had to go racing up the street after it. And yes, she did have a big white dress and a veil!!!. Leave it at home. It is not your place to take it or even make a fuss about the lack of invitation.

Actually I did attend a family wedding where the groom's parents insisted on their dog attending the service. She was even wearing one of those cameras that people attach to their heads/helmets when cycling etc to get an interesting view of the proceedings. Not something that I would consider appropriate myself, unless of course both the bride and groom wanted it.

This thread is a prime example of why it would be helpful to have contributions from the OP highlighted on a thread. Several pages back the OP came back to the thread and said she is NOT taking the dog to the wedding!

The OPs threads show up as green on my phone but I’m not sure if there’s a way to highlight them on other devices - I agree it would be useful.

? keep on runnin’ ?

SirChenjin mine used to, Then I switched to another view, and it went away and never came back. When I brought it up to mnhq I was told that no one had that feature, and one lovely poster asked how much I had been drinking that day. Another asked if I was confused and thought I was on mumsnet ??

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who has seen it.

Whatever you do, don’t switch to the desktop site

I'm sure that you love your son more than dog and making this decision is difficult.
My friends mum left her wedding early to get home to her dogs, the bride was devastated!!
Please don't be that mum ?

No, my dear. Please don't go against your future DIL's wishes. You will be asking for trouble. It would be much better for all if you could make other arrangements or it could cause a rift that may not be mended. As someone else pointed out, what would you do with your pet if you were suddenly taken ill and/or had to go to hospital.

Are we really still discussing this ???

How odd Summerlove - I definitely see the OPs posts in green and mine appear as pink. I can see them right now! Thanks for the heads up about the desktop site

? keep on runnin’ ?

Must be the British and their love of animals that has generated over 300 replies Maw and BlueBelle!
??

Love of animals URMSTONGRAN Bahaha...probably most appalled by the prospect of bringing dogs to a wedding lol. That and the fact that the thread is so long, nobody has picked up on the fact the OP has decided against it !!!

I think it was MAW who suggested somewhere, when threads have run their course they should be 'closed' and I agree. This one could run and run for years ha ha ha

Obviously you love your dog, but that doesn’t mean other people have to like him, a lot of people aren’t comfortable around dogs and it is the bride and grooms day and you should accept what they want and want to make the occasion special and happy for them. A dog shouldn’t be at a wedding, make other arrangements for it.

SirChenjin - the only posts by OP that are green on my screen (Android phone or iPad) are the actual original post and the same post repeated at the top of each “page”. All the other ones by the OP are indistinguishable from other people.
Maybe you are looking at the top of the page?

Nope - very definitely not, I can see the OPs subsequent posts in green as I scroll through the entire thread

Well that would be great. Why can’t we ALL have that feature- so useful!

Like this

a dog sitter for the day is a good option...its their wedding....no dogs....sorry ..

Summerlove the original post is in green my own posts in pink everything else in white
I m on mobile on an iPad but I often change to desktop when I want to remove games threads and then back to mobile again and it makes no difference I ve never lost it stayed the same
I don’t see subsequent original posters posts in a colour, we have indeed asked HQ for that but it’s never been allowed so no idea how you’ve got that sirchenjin

I only get the original post in green and mine in purple, the OPs subsequent posts are identical to everyone else. Have tried every which way to get it to change to the format I use on MN but to no avail. I use safari on iPhone and iPad.

Just for record I’ve got it too sirchenjin- on my iPhone but not on desktop. ALL OP posts in green and mine in pink So no you aren’t losing the plot ?

I’ve no idea either Bluebelle but as you can see from my screenshot it’s very definitely there! I’ll post something under ‘Site Stuff’ to see what HQ have to say
