Dogs at Weddings

I'm sure it's not the law, it will be the registrars decision. It might be easier to get the dog into a church instead. Or see if switching areas helps. What do the West Yorkshire registrars based in Leeds say?

The other way around this is to use a celebrant instead. Then you'd just pay £50 to have the legal paperwork done at the register office a few days before the wedding.

My dogs are bringing the rings up the aisle in my ceremony, I'm in Sheffield.

I dont know your area but ive seen lots of dogs at weddings, it would be a stupid law if they have it

I'm having my two dogs in the ceremony as flower girls

We're having a registry office legal bit (without the dogs) in the morning very casually (jeans and t-shirt, minimum witnesses type thing as it doesn't count in our minds) and then celebrant wedding in the afternoon.

I'm getting married at Millbrook Estate in Devon they specialise in small weddings/runaway weddings and our two dogs will be at the wedding

I have seen plenty of doggies at weddings and it is not part of (against) the law but it is one of those things where it is very much down to your local authority as to whether or not they are ok with it, and then of course even if they are you will have to find a venue that are also ok with it.

I have seen dogs just attending with the guests and also dogs running down the isle delivering the rings, or just visiting during the drinks reception after the ceremony. So if your registrar and venue are not ok with it then a compromise could be a short visit by the doggie during the drinks reception

I like the idea of your dog being involved as for my labrador he wont be because he is a nutter still thinks he is a puppy but in our years he is 9 certainly not a puppy hope you sort it out x good x
