Dog-allergic bride forbids sister's dog from attending her wedding: '[She's] framing me as the villain for "excluding her baby" from my big day'

Look, we love dogs. If it wasn't clear from the countless dog memes we adore here on a daily basis, the silly dog pictures we look at to puplift our moods, and all the heartwarming dog adoption stories that continuously melt our hearts - we don't know what would make it clearer. Even these very words are being written as the office doggos are having a blast with a new ball pit we got them, because we love them so much, and the other three ball pits were not enough in our opinion. So, yeah, we adore dogs in a way that's hard to convey through words.

But the fact that someone loves dogs so much, doesn't mean they can do whatever they'd like with their dog. One dog mom insisted she should bring her dog, whom we assume she loves very much, to her sister's wedding. But there are two big problems with this plan: First, the bride is allergic to dogs. Just imagine yourself as the bride or the groom on your big day, all sneezing and itching - no one wants that. Secondly, even if the bride wasn't allergic, the venue has a strict no-pets policy.

As fellow dog pawrents, you probably think to yourself, "No problem, I'll get my favorite dogsitter for the evening so I can enjoy my sister's wedding and celebrate her big day!" But… apparently, this didn't go over well with the bride's sister. For some reason, she insisted it's "ruining everything" - what, exactly, we're not sure. Because this insistence doesn't sound like it comes from a deep love or care for the dog, it sounds like it's coming from spite. Why does she need to put her dog in the middle of her family drama? It doesn't sound like something a loving dog pawrent would do.

Personally, we think these two reasons are enough for the sister to understand she needs to find a solution for her dog, only for this wedding day - just as many people expressed later. The bride, the one whose event actually celebrates, is allergic to dogs. And even if she wasn't, the venue doesn't allow animals on the property. Yes, we love dogs, but this is very easy to understand these two reasons, in our humble opinion…

Even if the dog would actually look as silly and cute as this pawdorable chihuahua, he'd still need to stay at home with a dogsitter.
