The Frenchie Wedding
Posted on 21. Aug, 2008 by admin in Blog
Well it is finally official……Franke and Ethel exchanged wedding vows or barks on Saturday August 16, 2008. the day was absolutely gorgeous! The wedding party featured our little Chihuahua Cricket as the flower girl, followed by Pepe and Yadi as Best man and maid of honor ( both chihuahua’s), then Pinot and Mini Me ( English Bulldogs, Oliver and Kedah ( English Bulldog and chihuahua), and finally Rosco and Misty (Boxer and Yorkie). All were dressed in tuxedos and satin. The nuptials were performed by Papa C, the Grandfather of the Groom. Followed by a reading from the brother of the Bride. The wedding was attended by over 100 guest with several bringing along their canine pets. The brides dress was from a wonderful company out of New York. The bride and groom were escorted from the alter in their wedding chariot (A wagon).
After the exchanging of the vows the bride and groom were toated with a champagne toast and the releasing of balloons by all the guests. There was a traditional period between the wedding and reception for everyone to take photos. The entire wedding party was very patient during this process. We are still waiting for all the photos from the guests. The news station was there to capture the moment, and it was video taped by several people. We will hopefully have a copy of the video uplaoded on our site for all to enjoy very soon.
After the photo session Franke and Ethel took a short rest and changed into a more casual attire. Ethel wearing a yellow and white sundress. Our cakes were beautiful, we had one for the people to enjoy and one for the canines. The wedding party and their guest truly enjoyed every minute of eating and sharing the cake. Of course the food was also a big hit with all who attended. A little begging was happening all around the reception area. But, of course this was to be expected. As the party continued the DJ arrived and the fun just continued. At this point Franke and Ethel changed into their matching swimsuits. A very skimpy two piece bikini for Ethel and boarding shorts for Franke. Of course the wedding included a pool party also. However, Franke and Ethel didn’t take part in the swimming, but they sure looked cute!
In lieu of gifts we asked our guest to make a donation to our local animal rescue, The Anna Shelter, and of course everyone was very generous. Thanks to all of you!!!! We did receive several darling gifts that were very much appreciated. The day was more wonderful that any of us could have imagined. we wanted it to symbolize not only the union between Ethel and Franke, but between Linda and Jeff and Bill and I as we start off on our journey into breeding our new line of Frenchies. We look forward to many years of success in breeding quality animals. And to also share our love of the breed.
