When Harriet and Andrew Athay got married there was only one choice for their best man - their pet dog Ed.And he wasn't the only canine member of the bridal party as the couple's two female dogs, Humbug and Goulash, also walked with them down the aisle.
Ed wore his very own miniature tuxedo for the big day, while whippet Humbug and Hungarian vizsla Goulash had pink sparkly collars.
Harriet and Andrew felt it was only right that the doggy trio should be at their wedding because it was they who had brought them together in the first place.
The couple first met while they were walking their respective dogs along Mudeford Beach in Dorset in August 2007.
As their dogs played with each other, Andrew and Harriet stopped to chat for a few minutes. Admiring Ed's glittery collar, Andrew asked Harriet where she had got it from and she revealed that she ran a pet accessories company.
Harriet thought nothing more of the encounter until the next morning when she found a new order for a pink diamante dog collar came complete with a message from Andrew asking her out for a drink.
It wasn't long before they were seeing each other everyday. Five months later in January 2008, while they were on holiday in Dubai, Andrew got down on one knee and proposed.
Back home in Dorset they started to plan their wedding and knew that there were three special guests who just simply had to be there.
Wanting a sunny wedding they booked a villa in Tuscany, Italy, for their reception and a large town hall in Florence for the ceremony itself. (Roundup)
