Lending a fresh new twist to the oft-repeated phrase, “gone to the dogs,” weddings taking place in London have become so “dog infested” that sellers of dog tuxedos and bridemaid’s dress like PetLondon are finding the fad a good way to line their pockets with cash.

Some spicy anecdotes:

Cliona Roberts, 36, and David Dargie, 40, have entrusted that role [as best man] at their wedding to their West Highland terrier. The couple will dress their dog Teaser, 5, in a white bow tie for the ceremony in east London.

When Katrina and Martin Thompson married at Barnstaple parish church in Devon in August, their labrador-collie cross Shannon was ring bearer. The dog sat at the front of the church with the best man, with the rings attached by ribbons to a cushion around her neck.

With dogs standing in as best man, it would be interesting to hear what the animal would “say” during the wedding toast, although we suspect it might go along the lines of, “Remember when I first peed on your couch then tried humping your leg?”
