Pet owners spend £6,200 on lavish dog wedding

A pair of American dog lovers have held a £6,200 dog wedding for their pets.

Ann Carter, 70, and Ernie Rubin, 67, held the 'marriage' ceremony between their pets Snickers, a 3-year-old Lhasa Apso, and Scruffy, a 5-year-old Jack Russell-Chihuahua cross.

"Scruffy and Snickers fell in love with each other from the moment they met, and when Ernie and I shared a holiday apartment for a month over the summer, it was obviously how they felt about each other," said Ann.

"We decided to have a wedding and we just thought it would be a fun excuse to have a little party, but then we ended up sending out invitations and more and more people wanted to come, and in the end it turned into this massive event."

The $10,000 (£6,200) party was held at an exclusive Florida country club, and featured four-legged ushers, a personalised wedding cake, a live band and an open bar. A priest performed the wedding 'vows'.
