Farmer Chases Fifth Wedding Party Out Of Barn

Farmer Chases Fifth Wedding Party Out Of Barn This Month

BEREA, KY—Calling the problem “damn near out of control,” local farmer Cliff Contreau confirmed that the 125-person wedding reception he chased out of his barn Saturday evening was the fifth such wedding party he’s had to scare off his property this month. “They come in here almost every weekend stringing up incandescent light bulbs and taking photos next to my hay bales. This is private property, for Pete’s sake!” said Contreau, 63, who added that he now instinctively reaches for his rifle any time he hears a string quartet launch into the opening notes of Pachelbel’s Canon. “At first, all I had to do was bang on the walls with my shovel and a whole mess of them in identical blue gowns and tuxedos would come running out, but I tried that last week and they just kept on chattering like I wasn’t even there. I’m almost all out of ideas at this point.” Contreau later said that he plans to try ringing the barn with barbed wire, which he hoped would snag and slow the movement of anyone in billowy chiffon.

Including Your Fur Baby In Your Wedding

The wedding of Christa Nadler and Nick Orf photographed Saturday, October 3, 2015 at the Westin Downtown in Columbus, Ohio. (© James D. DeCamp | http://OurDreamPhotos.com | 614-367-6366)

What would your wedding be without your fur baby, right?

For many couples, dogs are like family members, and we’re seeing more and more pups involved in the big day. But if you’re thinking about incorporating your pooch into your “I dos,” there are a few things you need to consider before the big day. Take a look at these tips to make your beloved dog happy, safe, secure, and ready to celebrate with you.

Check your venue’s pet policy.
Touch base with the coordinator at your wedding day space to see if pets are permitted. If you have your heart set on including your dog in the wedding, it’s best to ask before you book! Some locations may allow animals but ask to see updated shot records or dog licenses before you can proceed with your plans, so find out what’s required.

Make sure your dog can handle a long day.
Weddings are a stressful time for people and can be even more overwhelming for dogs. If Rover tends to be shy or anxious, it is probably best to leave him or her at home. Also, if your dog is too rambunctious around lots of people (or just not so well-behaved), having them attend may be a total headache.

Utilize your dog’s strengths.
If your dog likes to sit still, place him or her near the entrance where he can greet guests or have your furry friend stand at the alter. Will she walk flawlessly by leash if someone’s got a treat in hand? Have someone in your bridal party walk her down the aisle (and remember to use a short leash, since the walkway tends to be narrow). Stick to something you’re confident your dog can do, instead of pushing for something that might not play out well.

Have a day-of plan.
Designate someone to handle your dog before and during the ceremony, and make sure to provide plenty of treats, food, water, and toys. This will allow you to focus on what you need to do, rather than worrying about whether your dog is behaving or not. Since receptions tend to be loud and crowded, consider having someone take the dog home after the ceremony concludes. You might even want to leave your pooch a new toy or a special treat to thank him or her for being a part of your big day!

Consider your guests and wedding party.
Don’t forget to factor in your wedding party, and anyone else who will be around the dog during the ceremony. If your best man has a severe allergy or your flower girl is seriously frightened by your pup, including him or her might not be the way to go. It’s better to take extra precautions to ensure that everyone is happy.

Practice as much as you can.
Rehearse as many times as you can and reward your dog as you would in any other training situation. Also, make sure the handler is able to practice with the dog so they feel comfortable with one another. Remember that pups (especially young ones) need way more practice than humans do.

Make them look their best.
Book an appointment at the groomer as close to your wedding day as possible, so your dog gets some added attention like the rest of your big day party. A trip to the doggie salon will leave your best friend smelling fragrant and looking polished for the “I dos” and special photos.

Plan on a pre-wedding walk.
Forgive us for the potty talk, but don’t forget to make sure your dog goes to the bathroom before the ceremony begins. You do not want your pet stopping halfway down the aisle to relieve him or herself. Unless, of course, you want some seriously awkward and hilarious snapshots!

And, don’t get too bummed if your dream venue is not pet-friendly or if rover is a little too unruly to attend your ceremony. There are many other ways to include your four-legged friend without him being physically present. Include your pooch’s paw print on custom save the date stamps, put her sweet silhouette on your escort cards, or find the perfect pup-themed cake topper! We promise you won’t be in the doghouse…
