the dog bride!
You’ve probably all heard of the odd occasion when dog lovers have
their beloved pets as part of their special day -but have you ever heard
of dogs being bride and groom? A tea-cup Coton de Tulear named Baby Hope
Diamond and a poodle named Chilly Pasternak hold the Guinness World
Record for the most expensive pet wedding.The $250,000 wedding was held
to raise money for the Humane Society of New York and animal lovers
donated their services to the cause.
The big day was held at the Essex House’s Grand Salon in New York and
was attended by a special guest, Guinness World Records adjudicator,
Sara Wilcox.Almost $30,000 of fuschia orchids and $5,000 worth of sushi
was prepared for the occasion. Proud owners, Jake Pasternak and Wendy
Diamond walked their fur-babies down the aisle in front of guests - 250
humans and 50 dogs! The wedding officiant was Triumph the Insult Comic
dog.‘Cake Boss’ presented a five layer cake for the wedding, a model
Bison Frise sitting on top. The dogs’ owners dedicated the expensive
celebration to raising awareness for homeless animals – the groom,
Chilly, was an ex-stray. From rags to riches – Chilly has done pretty
well!

vocabulary, a 9.9 percent advantage in maths and an 8.6 percent
advantage in spelling, once parents’ background and reading habits were
