The most popular role, ring bearer (50%), flower girl (17%) and page boy (13%)\
Almost 10% would have their dog as the groom's best "man".
How much would people spend to prepare their dog for the wedding? How bout, on average, $75.
Now there's no arguing with this stat, 93% believe that their dog is part of their family, because of that, they say the dog should be involved. 76% say guests would react positively to having dogs at the wedding (COUNT ME IN AMONG THAT GROUP!) 70% say they would ask if the venue is "dog friendly". And, it stands to reason, almost 70% would have a special dish prepared for their dog.
One wedding planner said he recently hired corgis for a wedding, and called it a "brilliant addition".
Just having the dog at the wedding isn't enough apparently, they must be properly attired...
so,
46% would have a special collar with a ring box on it
42% would put their dog in a special suit
39% would put a bow tie on their dog
25% would put a floral collar on their dog
23% would put a special bandana on the dog
21% would put the dog in a dress (I'm sorry buddy)
13% would put a hat on their dog (I'm REALLY sorry buddy)
11% would have a bow for their tail
7% would have them wear special shoes (wouldn't shoes for ANY dog be special)
5% would have them wear a headpiece
All of that is a bit much, but as I stated earlier I would always be fine having a dog(s) at a wedding.
Honestly, even more so at the reception so as were waiting forever for the wedding photographs to be taken, at least the dogs would occupy my time. As a matter of fact, take your time on those photographs.
