Can I bring my dog to your wedding?

Have him call back and say he was wrong.

I would also consider asking a non-invited friend to take care of your dog that day. Parties can be really stressful for dogs. But you know your dog best.

Let both dogs be there but crate the fiancee.

LOL, what an honor!

Want to make this wedding more complicated - I think everyone should bring their pets.
And show up with roller-skates on.

Love it

My answer is just confine the dogs to separate bedrooms during the wedding and don't stress about it.

We have a dog, who I wanted to have out of the house for the day, but my fiancee disagreed and said it'd be fine (which it probably would be so I was okay). Then, my fiancee's cousin asked if he could bring his dog. Apparently the hotel where he's staying allows pets, but he doesn't want to leave the dog in the hotel room for the day, and also doesn't want to kennel it for the weekend while he's away. My finance said yes.

Am I right to be annoyed? I've got a lot on my plate... when we decided to go ahead with these plans, covid cases were way down... and now I'm really stressed... about covid, caterer, rain plan (we don't really have one), getting rentals set up (tables, chairs, etc.). I'm sort of doing this on my own, don't have a planner or someone to help, etc. ...

Am I out of line to be upset? Should I just let it go?

By the time you're done paying for table, chairs, plates, food, and a TENT unless you plan on moving them into your house if raining, you might be at a restaurant price point. Restaurants have tables, chairs, food. It will be over and they'll leave. I assume small is the 25 to less than 50 people range. No guest dog.

How would you like to be imprisoned against your will whenever you're an inconvenience?

When I first read this I scoffed, another poster completely changing what OP wants to do, but now I agree. This would alleviate a lot of stress (stress about weather, stress about dogs, etc.) for a similar price point.

DP. The person you're responding to probably wouldn't like that, but dogs are not people. Crazy, I know.

The cousin who doesn't want to leave his dog crated in a hotel room all day is probably not going to want his dog crated in a bedroom all day, which means another set of arguments/discussions/stress.

This. If your fiancé isn’t considering your needs and stress level, I don’t believe you should marry him either.

Crate or a closed off bedroom would work. If cousin doesn't like it, oh well, he can kennel the dog.

Then the cousin can hire someone to petsit his dog at home. I wouldn't argue about it. It is much less stressful to use that lovely, succinct word "no."
