One of my favorite topics is pets. Why? Because it always brings a smile to my face as well as others around me.

When we talk about your pets, we immediately feel better, they bring joy to our lives in so many ways.

AND…

…they are always there for us, am i right?

So they are family and we want them included in the wedding.

Having 3 Irish Setters and 1 cat, I am a huge animal lover and a believer in BEING YOU on your wedding day and beyond.

So check out this video about pets and your wedding day.

Hi there. Carissa Kruse here. I am so excited you are here. I wanted to talk today about pets within your wedding. So that is something I get asked and it’s like, “Oh, can I have my dog in my wedding?” Or, “What do you think on that?” And I’m a huge animal lover, huge animal lover. I have four dogs, one cat. So, yeah, just love animals.

So anyways, if you love animals too and you want them in your wedding, include them. We can creatively figure out how. So we’ve had dogs, we’ve had horses. Actually, one of my good friends and team members actually had her turtle in her wedding, which was super cute. And we actually got a tuxedo for crocheted for the turtle shell, which was kind of fun.

So you can do some really fun things with that, and so if there’s something
that’s important to you from a animal standpoint, because that’s meaningful to you guys, include them in your engagement photos, in the wedding photos if it works. A lot of times, you’ll put somebody in charge of, if you use a dog, for instance, in charge of, we’ll call him Buddy, Buddy, the dog.

You’ll put somebody in charge of Buddy for the day. So maybe they go and get him at a certain time, and then when you’re done with photos, they go and take him back home. Or after he’s walked down the aisle, we’ve had them be groomsmen, or we’ve had them be ring bearers, flower girls, that kind of stuff, too. So they kind of carry the rings down the aisle.

So, yeah. So there’s just a lot of fun things that you can do with your pets. And so if those are meaningful to you, include them. I highly recommend it because whatever you do for your day should be about you guys and what’s important to you. There’s no right or wrong. That’s everything I tell my couple is, no right or wrong. You make it your own. So do you, and definitely think about adding them if that’s important to you. So any questions, reach out. Talk to you later. Bye.
