When I dreamt of planning a wedding I never thought I’d be so concerned about what my dog was going to be wearing, but I couldn’t imagine our wedding without Charlie there so here we are. It took me some time to decide on what Charlie was going to be wearing. I thought about a bowtie, but sometimes his floof covers it and I wanted him to look his best.
