His Fiancée And Her Maid Of Honor Want Their Dogs To Get Married In The Middle Of His Wedding, So He Said They Should Just Get Married At The Courthouse
This twenty-nine-year-old man and his fiancée, Jessica, are getting married next year. So, they have been in the throes of venue picking and wedding planning over the last few months.
Honestly, though, everything had been going just fine until his fiancée tried to basically switch up the entire event.
It all began with Jessica’s best friend, Abby, who is also Jessica’s maid of honor. Apparently, both of the girls have dogs and absolutely love their furry friends.
“And when we started talking about the wedding, Jessica told me all about this plan they both had for when each of them got married,” he recalled.
More specifically, Jessica and Abby wanted to have a “doggy wedding ceremony” between their dogs and the dogs of their future husbands.
To be frank, though, he does not have a dog and does not really want one. Don’t get me wrong, he likes Jessica’s dog enough and gets her furry friend toys and treats sometimes.
But he just is not a dog guy and does not plan on getting one for himself. So, he figured there was no way for Jessica and Abby’s dream doggy wedding ceremony to come true and thought he would never hear about it again.
Well, that was until Jessica and Abby proposed a different idea. The girls reportedly thought it would be just adorable to include both of their dogs in his wedding party.
And if you could not have guessed, the idea was really not his cup of tea. Still, he knew that other people sometimes involved their dogs, and he eventually decided to give in. After all, he figured that the pups would just wait up at the alter or something.

Soon, though, he realized that Jessica and Abby had vastly different plans for their dogs. In fact, the girls want their dogs to actually get married during his wedding ceremony.
Obviously, he was not very excited about that idea. He also brought up some really valid concerns from a wedding planning perspective.
For instance, who would take care of the dogs for the rest of the day? And what if the venue they decided on for the wedding did not allow pets?
Anyway, he and Jessica went back and forth on this for a long time until he eventually caved and said that the dogs could “get married” on their wedding day. However, he said that the dog ceremony would have to happen at the end of their ceremony.
Still, even though his agreement may have already seemed generous, Jessica and Abby came back to him a few weeks later with yet another request.
Apparently, they now also want parts of their reception to be specifically dedicated to the dogs’ “friendship.”
For example, the girls are hoping to have a puppy picture slideshow, a specific doggy cake, and dog-friendly favor bags.
Oh yeah, because they also want their friends and family to bring their pups to the wedding, too.
Understandably, this was all just way too much for him, and he told Jessica absolutely not. He also reminded his fiancé about how he had already made one compromise and did not want a ton of dogs around for the entire day.
Plus, even if they did end up doing that, he told Jessica they would still have to find a brand new wedding venue that would allow dogs to be roaming around the entire time.
“I also reminded Jessica that she was near the limit of what she could contribute toward our wedding funds, and I would be paying the rest. So, I don’t want to pay extra for stuff for a bunch of dogs,” he explained.
Still, Jessica did not understand. Instead, both she and Abby kept pushing him and claiming that all of the doggy aspects were super important to them.
So, he was forced to give Jessica an ultimatum. He said that either they stick to the original compromise, or Jessica and Abby could have their expensive party by themselves, and he would marry Jessica at the courthouse alone.
His ultimatum was not well-received at all, though. In fact, Abby accused him of being manipulative and wanted Jessica to stay at her place “until he pulls his head out of his butt.”
Jessica, thankfully, did not end up going to stay at Abby’s house. Regardless, though, they are still arguing back and forth about this entire ordeal.
Jessica believes that he is acting totally selfish and still wants to have the full-blown dog wedding right in the middle of their real wedding. And he just cannot believe it.
He really does not think he is being unreasonable or selfish for wanting to marry just Jessica– and not Jessica, Abby, and all of their pets. But, he cannot help but wonder if he is somehow a jerk for saying no to the dog mashup wedding, and that’s why the girls are so angry at him.
Have you ever heard of a wedding involving dogs to such an extent? Do you think he has a right to be upset about the girls’ plans or not? If you had been in his shoes, would you have said no, too?
