By
Kylie Conner
We all know that dogs are man’s best friend. In fact, these sweet souls likely demand just as much (if not more) affection than your significant other does. So, why should your furry friend sit out on one of the happiest days of your life?
We put together a totally rational list of reasons you should include your favourite four-legged friend in your wedding party. Considering Spot won’t require a plus one and definitely won’t take advantage of the open bar, he may just end up being the most well-behaved guest at your celebration!

- <strong>They Look Great In Formal Wear</strong><br />
<br />
Let's face it, dogs in any type of clothing are adorable. Seeing them dressed to the nines is even better. When else can you really justify outfitting Mr. Snuffles in a tuxedo?<br />

- <strong>They Can Provide Moral Support Before Walking Down The Aisle</strong><br />
<br />
It's a known fact that dogs are great listeners -- because they can't talk back! So, you can vent to your dog about all of your pre-wedding jitters and receive cuddly adoration in return.<br />

- <strong>They Can Give Guests Something To Do Between The Ceremony And Reception</strong><br />
<br />
Entertain both your guests and your pooch while you're having photos taken by asking friends and family to take turns walking Fido. We love the idea of incorporating some sort of signage so that guests know where to tie him up afterwards.<br />

- <strong>They're Part Of The Family</strong><br />
<br />
Time to get sappy. Dogs are always there for you when you need them so don't they deserve to be included in your wedding just as much as every other member of your family? We think your pooch would hate to miss out on one of the happiest days of your life.<br />
