Save the Date
Speaking of pets making announcements, how about this adorable trend? While they may not be able to shout your news from the rooftops, they can certainly help you tell the world about your engagement.

Ring Bearer
If you trust your animal friend enough to bring the rings, let them walk down the aisle and present them to you. The chorus of “awwws” as they arrive at the altar will be well worth the many, Many, MANY training sessions. (Photo via Wedding Bells)
