Oftentimes, we choose our very best friends to fill the slots of maid of honor and best man when we get married. That's exactly what a couple from Cumbria, England did though it wasn't their human friends they sought out for the roles. Instead, they chose their furry best friends.

Emma-Leigh and Shane Matthews chose their adorable dogs, Niko and Phil, to be their dog maid of honor and dog best man at their July wedding. The adorable Malamutes wore fancy collars. Niko wore a collar adorned with flowers and Phil looked distinguished in a bow-tie.
Best man Phil even helped Emma-Leigh and Matthew get some great footage of the ceremony by wearing a GoPro on his collar.

The couple told Mashable that their precious pooches were enjoying every second of the experience. "They loved it! They were getting so much attention and the hotel had such massive grounds for them to play in."
Weddings are wonderful and all, but adding dogs make them pretty darn spectacular. In fact, dogs make nearly everything spectacular, don't they?
