Some people think having pets in a wedding is a doggone crazy idea. However, for many of us, it's hard to imagine our big day without our furriest friend on hand. Who else has been so patient throughout this wedding planning process -- lending an ear when you need to vent, cuddling up close when you need to cry, and joining you for a walk when you just have to get out of the house?

Your pet might also have significance for your significant other -- perhaps you didn't know he was The One until Fluffy decided to sit on his lap, or perhaps you picked out your pooch together. It just wouldn't seem quite right to get married without your pet.
