Carrie Underwood's July 10th wedding is bound to inspire brides around the globe, but one of our favorite aspects of the country crooner's nuptials is the fact that she plans to have her Chihuahua, Ace, act as a ring bearer. "He's like my kid," she told US Magazine. "It would be like if I was getting married and I had a child -- of course my child would be in the wedding!"
Now, you might not be able to follow the singer's lead with your own flawless yellow diamond engagement ring, and you might not have designers knocking down your door in the hopes of designing your wedding dress, but if you want to include your cute kitty or precious pooch in your wedding, like Underwood, we've got just the bridal accessories you need. Just be careful about designating your canary as your maid of honor -- we hear they're "flighty."
