Dog and wedding

I think you may find that the dog in question belongs to the couple and if they want him there that is fine but if you turn up with your dog having been specifically told the bride does not want him there then that is not fine in any way at all.

You may end up uninvited to the wedding, is that what you want?

Your relationship with your son is already shaky, do you really want to fully burn that bridge and come back crying that you are not able to see your gc and your son doesn't talk to you and you don't know why?

Because you are trying your hardest to achieve that outcome.

No kiki - having dogs at weddings isn’t silly if both the B&G want them, you’re right. Bringing a dog to a wedding when you’ve been asked (told) not to bring it is silly.

You’re ignoring a lot of points and questions raised here - is there a reason for that?

Are you taking the piss?

If you did this to me you would be told to leave the wedding.

I would then be Turing to my darling future husband and be telling him in all my bridal glory that he either chose you or me. Because you are clearly not right and I’d be damned if I spent the next few decades dealing with your level of complete selfishness.

Clutching at straws kiki I don’t think you have a single vote for your selfish and inconsiderate plan.

Definitely dog sitter or kennels.
Enjoy the wedding.

kiki2 - "It seems some people have photos with dogs at weddings after all ! So perhaps not completely silly after all"

Yes. Their OWN dogs. Not those of guests. And especially when that guest has been specifically told not to bring the dog.

You really don't seem to be "getting it". Not one single response on this thread telling you it's a good idea, and you are still trying to justify it.

Your dog, whilst the centre of your world, is NOT welcome at the wedding. You have to accept that, or risk your entire future relationship with your son and his family.

It seems some people have photos with dogs at weddings after all ! So perhaps not completely silly after all

No they don't.
They have photos with their dog.
Nobody has wedding photos with other people's dogs

Saw a photo yesterday where the best man was the groom's dog! However I think that you have got the gist of general opinion that you need to make alternative arrangements for the big day. Would probably be a good Idea not to mention it to the happy couple.

lotsof folk have THEIR dog at their wedding but the dog in question is not the couples' dog and the bride doesn't want your dog there end of ! If you don't want to put your dog in kennels find a homeboarder I recommend Barking Mad a nationwide company Going forward give the wishes of your DS AND DIL priority

What about taking a cat instead?

No they don't.
They have photos with their dog.
Nobody has wedding photos with other people's dogs

Even if some couples might want photos with random dogs, this couple doesn’t.

Kiki, why can’t you respect their choice?

Are we going to make 100 posts without OP admitting she is wrong headed on this?

You have been told not to bring it - there is no more to be said. Just do as you are told.

I would be frothing at the mouth like a rabid dog if I was your DIL and you ignored my wishes.

I don’t want a row with my son or future Dil but don’t want to leave my dog behind - are you joined at the hip or something?

Do you really and truly fail to grasp that this is not YOUR special day. Your feelings (even if they were reasonable ones - which they are not) are a total irrelevance.

How are you going to establish a future relationship with your DIL if you do not care a jot about her feelings? Or maybe you do not even care about that.

What planet are you living on!!!???

Have we got to 100 yet?

Have just read all four pages of comments re prospect of the OP taking her dog to son's wedding.
Being a dog lover myself and taking all views into consideration, I have come to this conclusion.
The OP is a total nutter.

lucy (love your name by the way)

My favourite joke is about Lucylastic!

Knock knock
Who’s there?
Lucy
Lucy who?
Lucylastic, your pants are falling down!

V childish but it cracks me up every time The kids are like this

Do not even think about taking your dog to the wedding!!

I just had a word with the dog.

He doesn't want to go, hasn't got a thing to wear and he heard he might have to have a bath

Woof

Lots of people have their dog at their wedding Do they really grauntyhelen I ve never heard of a soul having dogs at their weddings I must lead a very sheltered life

are you now convinced Kiki that’s I would be totally the wrong thing to do

I've heard of dogs getting married Bluebelle!!
Possibly in America.

The wedding I went to where the dog was the ring bearer was in the UK.

I just had a look online - there are suggestions for 'including your fur babies in your weddings'

Yuk

On second thoughts the dog might be fine as long as he can hump the bridesmaid’s leg.

Kiki how about the dog staying with a friend/in kennels/with a dog-sitter and..... photo-shopping your dog into the finished wedding photographs?

As above, your dog would indeed be part of the day and you will still have an intact relationship with your new daughter-in-law (believe us, it is vvv important to keep relationships sweet, even 'though we sometimes have to bite our old tongues!) and son...

Worth consideration?
