For many couples, a wedding just wouldn’t feel complete without their four-legged best friend. At Fuze Ceremonies, we love seeing dogs included in humanist wedding ceremonies in Scotland. Whether they’re walking down the aisle, sitting proudly in the front row, or even delivering the rings.

One of the joys of choosing a humanist celebrant in Scotland is the flexibility it offers. Our ceremonies are entirely personal, and if your pup is part of your love story, why not celebrate that connection on your big day?

Dogs Make It Personal

We’ve seen dogs take on all kinds of roles—from flower dog to ring bearer, or simply as a calming presence nearby. Their involvement often adds a touch of light-heartedness, joy, and genuine emotion. Your humanist wedding should reflect your life, your values, and your relationships—including the furry ones.

Planning Ahead

If you’re planning a Scottish elopement or an outdoor humanist wedding ceremony, it’s often easier to involve your dog. Venues across Scotland are increasingly pet-friendly, and our humanist celebrants are always happy to help incorporate your dog into the script, the vows, or even a symbolic moment during the ceremony.

Speaking of vows—whether you’re writing your own for the first time or preparing vows for a vow renewal ceremony, we can help with that too. Our speech writing services support couples in creating meaningful words, often with sweet nods to family pets included.

Tips for a Smooth Experience

Appoint a dog handler or minder for the day

Bring familiar items (toys, treats, water bowl) to help them stay calm

Let your celebrant know in advance so they can include your pup in the ceremony plan

We’ve seen dogs sitting quietly by their humans as they exchange vows, and others steal the show with a surprise appearance, either way, it’s a moment no one forgets.
