Cupid’s Advice:

While your wedding is meant to honor your relationship with your fiancée, why leave out the little guys who are there through thick and thin: your pets!

1. Wedding party: Who said anything about the flower girl and ring bearer being human?  Adding your pets to the wedding party like Stephenie LaGrossa and Kyle Kendrick makes for great pictures, especially when clothed in dresses and tuxedos alike.

2. Gifts: Turn your party favors into donations to a local animal shelter.  Gifts for the newlyweds can be substituted with contributions to an animal charity.

3. Cake topper: Couples adorn their wedding cakes with figurines resembling themselves, but why not the pets?  Forget the traditional couple sitting atop the icing and find a cake topper that looks exactly like Gypsy and Beau.
