Toby, a Maltese from St Louis, joined his parents as they said their vows on the Helical Staircase of The Dali Museum in St Pete. Typically the museum isn't exactly pet friendly, but Kris and Angeline had an exception made for their little guy on the condition he be held the entire time; a strict no paws on the floor policy.
After picking him up from the hotel, we took Toby to Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming for some pampering. Despite the humidity, Toby was looking dapper in his tuxedo bandanna and ready for some site seeing. The clouds began to part on the rainy July day and we enjoyed the cool breeze from the bay. We toured around the museum and explained to Toby his role in this special day.
We carried a tired Toby into The Dali where his family was waiting. Kris immediately reached for his pup and Angeline went in for some kisses. Holding Toby, they seemed relaxed in being surrounded by their family before climbing the spiral staircase. After a beautiful ceremony, it was time for Toby to head back to the hotel. Everyone gathered around to get in their last hugs and licks from their furry family member. It's true that all you really need in life is love...and a dog.
While the rest of the crew was out making tails wag and hearts melt, Tiny, the cat, went on a very important mission: to scout out one of St. Louis’s most elegant and pet-friendly wedding venues, Hotel St. Louis.
