We have an annual Pet Carnival in St. Louis in May at Petropolis and were looking forward to it. Duffy pmailed me to let me know they announced the Howling Mutrimony to be held during the carnival and asked if I wanted to get married in the real fur. I was super excited. We had a beautiful wedding on Dogster on Valentine's Day and are so happy but this gave us a chance not many had. Since we both live in St. Louis, we are able to see each other and play together in the real fur and now was our chance to officially get married in the real fur.
Our mommies were excited and our daddies were wondering where they could hide. Silly boys. They should know the mommies always get their way. BOL!
We also had a chance to get in the record books since they were trying to have the largest mass doggy wedding ever and the record was 178 doggy couples!!! So we faxed in our wedding forms and anxiously awaited the day!
Now it was time to shop!!!! Wooohoooo! I found a beautiful wedding dress and a pawsome tux and we ordered them. Not sure why humans have to dress us up for these things but it makes them happy.
The dress and tux arrived and it was time for a fitting. It was a beautiful fit although I kept trying to eat the skirt and wasn't impressed. The strap on the veil was too big and I kept pawing off the veil. One sweep of the paw and the annoying thing was off my head.
Duffy tried on his tux and his big broad chest was too much and he just couldn't squeeze into it but not all was lost because he had a pawsome tux bandana and looked very handsome in it. Nothing would stand in our way.
Mommy shortened the strap on the veil and kept her fingers crossed. The wedding day was finally here.
We arrived early with my brother, Jackson, and our friend, Pepsi, coming to witness the nuptials.
They had a speed dating tent to hook up pups that needed a wedding partner. And their turtle mascot was getting married to a cute little turtle too.
I spied the wedding arch and it was made out of something I fear. BALLOONS!!! A beautiful arch of white and silver balloons. I barked and barked. Then was satisfied that the balloons were not coming to get me.
Wedding time was quickly arriving, time to put on the beautiful wedding dress. And I have to admit I looked cute and was too distracted to chew on the skirt. I even left the veil on! And Duffy looked so handsome in his tux bandana! Our mommies were impressed and the humans kept saying how adorable we were!
Then Duffy's mommy noticed they were lining up so off we went. Ready for the nuptials. We were lined up towards the back watching two Wheaten Terriers play and waiting our turn while Duffy wanted to join in the playtime and I chilled out and posed for pictures.
Finally the ceremony begins!! First a quick civil ceremony followed by a real preacher performing a religious ceremony!!! We all howled our I Do's!!! And it was official. The we proceeded through the line!
It was our turn to walk down the red carpeted aisle adorned with rose petals. Cameras flashing, we proudly made our way down until..........
The wedding arch. Eeeeekkkkkk. It was swaying back and forth in the wind and looked intimidating. Duffy went through with no problem but I pulled back on my leash and my eyes grew wide. When a treat didn't entice me, mommy picked me up and hurried me through.
And we were officially married!!!!!!!! And wondering if we broke the record!
Exhausted we went home and watched for ourselves on the news.
We watched Channel 4 and not a sighting of us in their coverage of the event. Don't they know stars when they see them?
Then we watched Channel 2. And looked at all the pups they were showing and there we were!!! Starting to walk down the aisle together!!! We are stars!!! Our two seconds of fame were here! Mommy and daddy were excited and I covered up in my snuggle bed and snored. I already knew I was a star.
We also broke the record. 184 couples got married that day!!!
Only one regret. We left before they cut the cake. Can you believe Duffy forgot there was cake? BOL BOL BOL!!!
WELL....... you can see how long it has been since I wrote a diary entry. BOL!!! Mommy has to get with it.
Maxi tagged me and I have to tell what type of ice cream I am. I pick
Tin Roof Sundae Vanilla Ice Cream with Brownie Pieces, Chocolate Covered Peanuts & Chocolate Swirl
Sounds yummy and includes all sorts of things in it, and I love all sorts of people and furs and I am also a little nutty. Add Whipped Cream and I am all set.
Pick 3 dogsters you think are really pawriffic and paw a little about why! Let them know how much they are loved with a rosette or by paw mail!
I was tagged by my good pals Gibbon and Duffy McDuff. Gibbon is a pawsome special friend who has introduced me to so many terrific Dogsters and is always there to help me when I need it. Duffy McDuff is such a cool pup and is always there to help me with a great pic or with any other help I may need. And yes, we will soon play together for real since he is a St. Louisan too!!
I picked 3 wonderful pals who I don't think have been tagged yet:
Kiki: She is a special friend who always is there for me and is so giving and caring. She is one of the sweetest pups I know.
Cashew: Is a very special girlfriend who is so much fun to play with and is always there with a helping hand.
Chaz: Is one cool dude and a very supportive friend. He is also very special to me.
