We've seen a lot of non-floral bouquets in our day, but this one takes the cake — or should we say Corgi? A Boston bride posted a Craigslist ad seeking six pups to participate in her dream wedding:
This next April, I will be getting married to the man of my dreams and we will be having the most wonderful storybook wedding that Boston has ever seen. The icing on the cake is sweet, but there's one thing that would be even sweeter than that. Traditionally, bridesmaids' hold bouquets; in our wedding, I want them to hold corgis. Unfortunately, I do not have enough corgis for my bridesmaids. I require six more in order to make this dream come true. I'm looking to rent six corgis for roughly two and a half hours during the ceremony. Because this a [sic] my dream wedding, price is negotiable and I appreciate your understanding. Please reach out to me if you have six sociable corgis which you would be willing to rent out. These animals would be treated perfectly, and I would love to get us all together to familiarize ourselves with each other. In addition to pay, I would be happy to also share some cake with you.
Although it may sound far-fetched, the bride tells The Huffington Post that she's received 100 responses from Corgi owners so far. Since an adult Corgi weighs anywhere from 25 to 38 pounds, the bridesmaids will not hold the dogs for the duration of the entire ceremony; instead, they will stand next to the bridesmaids after they make their grand entrance. (Fun fact: Outside of Wales, this herding dog breed have been made popular by Queen Elizabeth II, who has owned over 30 of them throughout the years.)
The most adorable idea ever or a major no-no? We'll let you be the judge — now excuse us while we go Google photos of Corgis all day. Squee!
