Dogs Say 'I Do' In St. Paul For Paws On Grand

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- On their wedding day, most couples want to be surrounded by family and close friends -- that includes man's best friend.

On Sunday, pets were united in mutt-rimony.

The Wedding Shoppe in St. Paul hosted its annual dog wedding event. It's part of Grand Avenue's Paws on Grand.

The pups were dressed in their Sunday best, many wearing tuxedos and dresses.

"They're all unique, just like real weddings," said Jim Fritz of the Wedding Shoppe. "People have a good time."

The dog marriages make for some interesting couples.

"Big dogs marrying little dogs, big dogs marrying big dogs, little dogs marrying little dogs," Fritz said.

The pets get a marriage certificate and have their pictures taken at the altar.

Sunday marked the fourth year for the dog weddings, and 100 dogs were expected to participate.
