Well, as all 10 of my loyal blog readers know, I am a flat out sucker for a pretty face, especially with whiskers and a big wet nose (well, except my significant other….). If you have a special puppy, cat, ferret, hamster or other fuzzy thing (or non fuzzy; one of my upcoming couples has two sphinx hairless cats….)that is going to be in your wedding party or at your backyard wedding, why not include a simple animal blessing in your service? Your New Jersey wedding celebrant (smooth, eh?) can write something lovely and small, just like your pet (or, if you have a great dane, something lovely and large…) I officiated for a wonderful couple last weekend, and their dog (dressed for the occasion in a tux shirt and tie) was an integral part of their courtship…..let’s just say he had the last word. Or bark…

So including him in the ceremony was natural and fun. Thanks again to the Beagle rescue (their link is on our page) for this beautiful photo of Suzi!
