Couple lives the dream, marries in front of 700 cats at California sanctuary

Over 700 apathetic guests attended a Canadian couple's wedding this week. But their non-plussed attitudes and occasional butt-licking didn't ruin the occasion. It made it.

Louise Veronneau and Dominic Husson were wed at the Cat House on the Kings in Fresno County on Tuesday, surrounded by hundreds of rescue cats. Cat House on the Kings is California's biggest no-kill, no-cage cat sanctuary. And it's seen a lot of kitty antics but never a wedding.

"We wanted to do a wedding that reflects our values, our love for animals," Veronneau told the Tri-City Herald. "We asked relatives instead of giving us gifts, to send donations to the sanctuary."

The wedding was officiated by Lynea Lattanzio, who founded Cat House on the Kings on her 12-acre farm in Parlier.

"It was quite nice," Lattanzio said. "I wouldn't even mind doing it again."

She's probably going to have to, because after this publicity, cat lovers all over will be lining up for weddings in front of 700 of their most aloof friends.

After being wed, Veronneau and Husson took their wedding photos on the property. Like the adorable little jerks they are, the cats sat on the bride's gown and struggled to get free of the unspeakable indignity these hoomins were subjecting them to.

In other words, it was a dream wedding.
