Every couple’s idea of a perfect wedding is truly one-of-a-kind, but they all share the same common theme: celebrating their love with friends and family. For many couples, that includes furry friends, too! It’s becoming increasingly common to see dogs at their parents’ weddings, though each bride and groom has their own special way of including their pups in the wedding celebration.
For one spoiled Golden Retriever named Wally, that meant enjoying his very own cake at his mom and dad’s wedding! His mom, Jules, had a miniature wedding cake made with dog-safe ingredients so Wally could feel included, and it was a hit. Wally couldn’t get enough of the cake, and his online fans couldn’t get enough of the sweet way his parents included him in their wedding.
Aww, this is the cutest thing! Wally can’t get enough of his sweet treat, and the smiles on Mom and Dad’s faces say it all. The tiny, adorable details, like the dog bone decorations, are the literal icing on the cake!
“I love when people include their dogs in everything,” one viewer commented. It’s the sweetest thing! Dogs are beloved members of the family, after all, so it’s only right that they’d be included in big moments like weddings and meeting their human baby siblings.

Besides, dogs bring so much joy and sweetness to any occasion! Just as another commenter mentioned, “It was a perfect day for Wally and his parents.”
The only question that remains is whether he ate the entire cake at the reception. Wally could have scarfed it down in one sitting if Mom and Dad let him, but no one wants to deal with a dog’s tummy trouble on their wedding night!
Dogs at Weddings
There are so many adorable ways to include a furry friend in their parents’ wedding journeys, from buying them custom wedding attire to inviting them on the bachelor’s trip. With a little imagination and some careful thought, the options are truly endless.
When I got married last year, my husband and I made sure that our two dogs would be with us every step of the way. One of the highlights of the day was taking pictures with them during cocktail hour, though their favorite part was the special steak dinner. With so many wedding details named after them, it was nearly a dog-themed wedding!
Pet parents are always coming up with new ways to include their dogs in their weddings, and I, for one, will never get tired of seeing them. Congratulations to Wally’s amazing parents!
