Hard to believe, that a beautiful bride would want
to share the wedding day spotlight with a huge St. Bernard. - But it has happened!
Were the guests talking about her stunning dress,
how beautiful she looked? Absolutely not! Everyone was talking about the same
thing---the big St. Bernard, Sam. Throughout the service, the dog stood beside
the couple - almost as if a dog whisperer / wrangler/ was standing nearby. Sam
was cute, adorable, and comedic, all at the right moments. He certainly hammed
it up in the direction of the guests.
During the ceremony, the plan was, I would ‘ask Sam’
for the rings from around his furry neck. He was the ring bearer after
all. All went perfectly and since I had
been tipped off ahead of time, I cleverly had a few juicy liver treats tucked
discreetly inside my service text book. That was a first!
Sam really did steal the show. – What was it that
W.C. Fields said? - Never share the stage with a dog or a child? He really knew
what he was talking about! – But the wedding couple truly did not mind as they
had a deep common love of dogs. They both have had a few St Bernard’s in their
lives, collectively. Sam, in their view, was an important member of their
closest family circle and needed to be close at hand during their warm and
truly distinct wedding service. Later, there were lots of chuckles about Sam. You guessed it .There were a flurry of funny
jokes during the toasts that all ended with many doggie ‘punch lines’. -
Nevertheless, a great time was had by all, at this delightful and unique
wedding that went intentionally, ‘to the dogs'.
