Wedding is a doggy double act


23/ 2/2005

IT will be top hat and tails all round when Sonia Wilde and Steven Begley walk up the aisle.

The Manchester Evening News had already reported how they will they be joined by their pet collie as chief bridesmaid, ably assisted by bridesmaid Kelly Mosley.

Now, a neighbour's dog has got in on the act - as a page boy.

The couple's own dog, Lucy Brown, is being fitted for her frilly pink outfit, and plans are being expanded to allow canine pal Hooch to accompany her, dressed in trousers and a topper!

However, Lucy Brown and Hooch could find themselves hounded out of the limelight altogether if the bride and groom get their ultimate wish - to have George Michael sing live at the church.

The couple appealed live on radio for former Wham! frontman George to sing the group's hit Club Tropicana at St Matthew's Church in Edgeley, Stockport, on their special day, October 1.

Sonia said: "We decided to make an appeal to George Michael.

"I don't think we will have much luck but we gave it a try."

What do you think of the choice of bridesmaid and page boy? Have your say.

   I am getting married next summer. My dogs will be in the wedding, they are our children and deserve a place in the ceremony. Bailey our golden will be our ring bearer, Tilly our Boston Terrier will be our flower girl. They are amazing kids and we would not have it any other way. One comment insisted that the whole point of marriage is blah blah christian blah. What that christian doesn't seem to take note of is that there are several religions, faiths, and others who get married for their own reasons. I will have a non denominational ceremony because it saddens me that the faiths don't think my kids (the dogs) have souls. They have more soul than many humans. I don't not believe in a god, we just don't know which one is right if any of them are. But back to the subject. I highly approve of the dogs being part of an important day. It'll be great! Congrats!
