As soon as the idea of a "doggy wedding" was proposed, organizers knew immediately who the bride and groom should be.

"It's our first time doing this and right away we knew the two involved would need to be Honey and Pugsley,"said Honey's human JaimeCaza,who also works at the Humane Society.

"They come to work with us everyday and they're best of friends."

The two met at the Humane Society. Honey was a stray puppy, while Pugsley was surrendered by another family.

Love was in the air as the officiantoffered a final blessing for the happy couple.

"We bless these two in the name of friendship and playfulness. We bless these two in the name of joy and in the name of food. May they never hunger for dog biscuits and always be filled with love," the officiant said.

And with that, the pair made it official with the exchange oftreats and a few kisses.

The newlyweds then took part in the traditional cutting of the cake. Puglsey wolfed his piece down, while Honey delicately nibbled at the chunk hand-fed to her.

For the human guests and their four-legged friends, there were a number of other activities to take part in including doggy matchmaking, a photo booth and relationship counselling with a certified trainer.

There wasan opportunity for other furry couples to tie the knot as well.

For those who missed the celebration but still want to make a connection, Caza says there's still plenty of animals looking for their fur-ever homes.
