While you and your pet gear up to celebrate the happiest time of your life, here are a few things that you must keep in mind to ensure everything goes just the way you want:

a) Consult with everyone involved if they are comfortable with an animal being a part of your wedding. If someone is allergic to cats or absolutely terrified of dogs, it is probably better to leave your pet at home.

b) As all wedding venues do not allow pets, check to make sure if yours does.

c) Since you would be quite busy on your wedding day, better designate a friend or family member to watch and take care of your pet.

d) It would be better if you will go to the venue a few times before the wedding. This will allow your pet to get familiar with the place.
