Get married this weekend - doggy-style!

Updated

They say it's a dog's life, and indeed it must be. For centuries, they've been able to spend their days lounging around, sleeping and eating. and generally living the good life while their masters toil to earn dog food. But now some dogs are getting to partake in the joys of being a human. Like getting married.

Corny as it sounds, (and it is corny,) if you've always wished your dog could get married, and if you live in or anywhere near Chicago, you may be interested to know that on Saturday, November 8, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., you can marry off Fido at an event known as I Do, Doggone It!.

Organizers are hoping this will be the largest dog wedding ceremony ever. A representative from Guinness World Records will be on hand to observe the nuptials, in case a record is set. According to Guinness, the largest dog wedding ceremony was 178 dog "couples" in May 2007 in Littleton, Colorado.
