Christmas Weddings

It seems like there are a lot of weddings this time of year.  Charlie Pants is a pro at going to weddings and being the talk of the show (don't worry he tries real hard to not up show the bride).  Check Charlie out at this wedding and this wedding and here stealing ice cream at this wedding.

I wanted to show you how I made Charlie's bow-tie for his weddings in case you are going to be getting married this month and want your dog to be a part of the ceremony.

PS. I love this Pug in a bow-tie

Apparently I am not the only one who dresses her dog up in pink bow ties to go to a wedding.

Charlie at the Wedding

Charlie is sporting a 50's style sweater for the wedding festivities. He was also given a flower since he was a part of the wedding family. By the end of the night the sweater bottom was almost dragging on the grass cause he had peed on it a couple of times. I am going to have to figure out how to fix that.

Here is Charlie ruining his diet. He found an ice cream cone on the ground, ice cream and all, and went to town. Yummy.

Congrats Sam and Anna!

I am always amazed by how perfect Charlie acts in public. I realize he is really well trained, but I just figure that sometime he may get bored and just start acting really naughty. Thankfully not so for this wedding day. Charlie was the talk of the party, which is probably why he was so perfect.

Here he is waiting for me while I sang, didn't his bowtie turn out great?

Here I am singing. I was fortunate and honored to sing 2 songs for the ceremony. "Something in the Way She Moves" by the fabulous James Taylor and "At Last" by Eva Cassidy.

Here I am writing out their card

And here Charlie is grabbing it to put it in their card basket.

Log Haven is where the reception and wedding took place and they gave Charlie this adorable dog bowl to drink out of during the reception. I thought that was so thoughtful and grand. Log Haven does a splendid summer offer called the "Dog Days of Summer"

Enjoy a hike in Millcreek Canyon with Fido and then stop in for dinner at Log Haven. Diners with well-behaved canine companions will be seated in Log Haven’s spectacular outdoor amphitheater, where they can order from Log Haven’s seasonal menu. A limited-time drink menu will be offered in honor of Dog Days and will include items such as Chateau Le Paws wine (from Rosenblum), the Sober Dover, the Melon Collie Mojito, and the Salty Chihuahua, a cocktail made from a special blend of grapefruit juice, Anejo Tequila and Agave nectar.

I think I want to try the Melon Collie Mojito and I am sure Charlie will get the Salty Chihuahua.

Lets all meet up and go to dinner before I head back to Virginia.

Going to the Chapel and I'm Gonna Get Married

Charlie and I will be flying to Utah this Friday to attend the wedding of our dear friends Sam and Anna. I figure that since Charlie will be the only dog at the ceremony, he should look like he dressed up for the occasion. My friend's wedding colors are light pink, fuchsia, beige and sage green. I found this light pink ribbon in my craft supplies and rigged him up a bow tie.

I adjusted the size of the bowtie by folding the ribbon over so it was snug on Charlie's neck and then fastened the ribbon together with these scrapbook brads.

I think Charlie is a little embarrassed. He hates it when mom decides to play dress-up

Thanks Lucky Levanson from South Carolina for this great tutorial on how to tie a bow tie.
