Sacred Lands Wedding with Lola & Biscuit - St Pete, FL
We had fun adventuring with these two pitties before the ceremony, getting lots of energy out & letting them get their sniffs in so they could feel happy & comfortable in the new environment. They both walked great down the aisle & looked absolutely precious in their flower collars!
Lola & Biscuit were fairly recent additions to the family at the time of the wedding, but you would have thought they’d been with Briana & Jeremy since puppyhood!

These two rescue pitties had the BEST DAY EVER!
We asked the couple a few questions about including Lola & Biscuit in the wedding day:
Why did you include your dogs in your wedding?
They're a part of our family so it seemed natural that they be included.
What is the story of how your dogs became a part of the family?
Biscuit & Lola were fairly new family members at the time of our wedding.
Jeremy and I had lost both our OG dogs within the past 2 years but knew we wanted another 2 dogs when we felt ready again.
It had been about 8 months since we lost my dog, Stella, and I finally felt like I was open to new pups again. Stella was a pittie and I knew I wanted to save more pits - luckily Jeremy agreed!
We went to Pinellas County Animal Services, on a friend's recommendation, after picking a few pups we wanted to meet off their website. None of the cuties we picked in advance were quite right but then they brought Biscuit (formerly Mystique) out to play with one of the others we were looking at. And we knew she was the one!
We had spent so long playing with the dogs that I had to go to work and we didn't have time to find our second dog that day. We went back the next day with Biscuit and the volunteers recommended Lola (formerly Milan) as they already got along well in their play group. She was such a cute little bean, and we wanted a black dog anyway, that we decided to bring her home right away!
Did you incorporate your dogs into any other details on your wedding day?
We included pictures of our past dogs on our memorial table.
And I picked a fabric for our table runners that had dogs on it. :)
All dogs are the best dogs, but tell us something that makes your dogs special?
How attached they are to each other. We call them sisters and they act just like it!
Is there anything else you’d like to share with us about your dogs?
How happy we are with our shelter pups :)

Dr Phillips Center Wedding with Ollie - Orlando, FL
Ollie is the sweetest, happiest & most beautiful little Australian Shepherd! Even though their wedding venue is not pet friendly, his parents still wanted to find a way to celebrate with him on wedding day. We decided to set some time aside for photos with Ollie after their First Look.

Even though their wedding venue is not pet friendly, his parents still wanted to find a way to celebrate with him on wedding day. We decided to set some time aside for photos with Ollie after their First Look.
Ollie was SO excited to have this special time with Mom & Dad. While he may not have known exactly what this day was all about, he could tell is was a big one.
We were able to get so many great shots while adventuring around a bit before the ceremony & had a great time while we were at it! Ollie loved walking around downtown Orlando in his tuxedo & being held by the Groom for a few cuddles & close ups.
After the photos, we dropped Ollie off at his pet sitters home for a well earned meal & some relaxation.
This mini Aussie had the BEST DAY EVER!
We asked the couple a few questions about including Ollie in the wedding day:
Why did you include your dogs in your wedding?
How could we not?! He's our little fur baby, and we couldn't imagine not including Ollie in our wedding day.
We were so happy we were able to have him in some of our bride and groom portraits, and the photos with him are some of our favorites. I'm sure Ollie would have loved to attend the wedding itself so he could personally greet every single wedding guest though!
What is the story of how your dogs became a part of the family?
We had always discussed adding a dog to our family, but none of the conversations ever progressed.
One day, Chris fell in love with a dog at an adoption event. We submitted our application, but unfortunately, someone else had gotten their application in first. Fast forward a few weeks, we were out with some friends, and I was glued to my phone looking at page after page of puppies by the end of the night.
The moment we saw Ollie's photo, we knew he was the one. We made the 2 hour drive out to Asheville a few weeks later to pick him up, and it's safe to say adding Ollie to our family was easily one of the best decisions we've ever made.
Did you incorporate your dogs into any other details on your wedding day?
We only included Ollie in photos on our wedding day, but he did help Chris decorate our apartment for the proposal...and by help decorate, I mean he tried to eat the rose petals that Chris had laid out :)
All dogs are the best dogs, but tell us something that makes your dogs special?
Ollie is the happiest, friendliest dog ever. He loves just about every single dog and human he meets, and his wiggle butt gives it away every time.
He is so energetic but also loves a good nap. We always laugh when Ollie starts barking or sticks out his tongue while deep in sleep - it's the cutest thing ever!

The Acre Wedding with Rocky - Orlando, FL
Rocky is the only Husky/Corgi mix we’ve ever met & let us tell you, he is adorable! We asked the couple a few questions about including Rocky in the wedding day at The Acre in Orlando, FL.
Rocky is the only Husky/Corgi mix we’ve ever met & let us tell you, he is adorable!
Rocky is 14 years young & is so loved by not only his parents, but by all of their family & friends! It was obvious he is such a huge part of Chris & Carrie’s lives.
Rocky’s grandma made him a custom suit to match the groomsmen & he was looking absolutely dapper all day long! He loved getting all the compliments that came his way!
It was so nice hearing stories from all of the guests about their best memories with Rocky. He’s made such an impact on so many people!
He had been diagnosed with Lymphoma before the wedding, so while we did take it slow on wedding day, you would never have guessed he wasn’t in perfect health. He had a great time exploring the venue, relaxing in the shade & most of all greeting all of his favorite people!
The best part of the day was on his way back down the aisle after the ceremony when he received loud cheers from all of the guests! He had the biggest smile on his face & so did we!
This sweet boy had the BEST DAY EVER!
We asked the couple a few questions about including Rocky in the wedding day:
Why did you include your dogs in your wedding?
We love him, our family loves him and everyone who meets him loves him. He is the sweetest boy and we couldn’t imagine having our wedding without him. Once we heard about FairyTail and found out our venue allowed pets, it was a no brainer.
What is the story of how your dogs became a part of the family?
Rocky was a rescue dog adopted by Chris before we started dating. Once we started dating, Rocky got to know Carrie and her family. The amount of people who spoil him grew larger.
Did you incorporate your dogs into any other details on your wedding day?
He was “Best Boy” in the ceremony and made a brief appearance during cocktail hour. He had a custom tux his Grandma made for him to match the guys. We loved the dog of honor video. It was great seeing his interactions with everyone. We also got a few photos with him with the bridal party and family.
All dogs are the best dogs, but tell us something that makes your dogs special?
Rocky has his own unique hilarious personality. He is insanely smart and is one of those old dogs who CAN learn new tricks. He is the only husky/corgi mix we have ever seen, which results in insane amounts of cuteness.
Is there anything else you’d like to share with us about your dog?
Rocky is the best companion we could ever ask for. He looked super happy on our wedding day. Your team gave him the love and attention we would on a day that could have potentially been stressful for him (and us). We are so happy we decided to go with FairyTail!

When it comes to actually carrying the wedding rings, we have an important recommendation—let’s leave the real rings to the humans!
