“Purse dogs. To complete the look, they wanted all the women at the wedding to have a small dog in a purse. Most of us had small dogs, but those who didn’t were told to find one to borrow or even get a dog for this wedding. Because who wouldn’t want to commit to caring for a dog for years just to achieve the bride’s vision? The dogs also had to be purebreds or at least look like it—no obvious mutts allowed. Originally, the couple said that any woman without a dog in a purse would be turned away at the door, but in the end, the bride relented and made the purse dogs simply ‘strongly encouraged.'”
“I almost RSVPed ‘no’ but couldn’t resist the drama. About half the women didn’t have dogs, but the 30-ish dogs present made for a chaotic evening. No one could hear the speeches over all the restless canines, and the vows were interrupted by two Yorkies having an argument. No one could enjoy the food with all the begging, and the caterers couldn’t have been pleased to see dogs licking plates. The highlight of the evening was when the maid of honor’s cockapoo pooped on the dance floor, and the groom stepped in it. Absolutely priceless!
