A dog-mad couple have walked down the aisle with their pet pooch.

Animal-loving Lisa and Robert Irvine tied the knot with their West Highland Terrier was part of the wedding party.

Three-year-old Bobby was even decked out in a matching KILT during the unique ceremony at Ayr’s Savoy Park.

Systems analyst Lisa, 38, admitted: “People might think I’m crazy but I was never getting married without Bobby as part of the day.

“The kilt manufacturer was so shocked by my request that they gave me the outfit for free as my first wedding gift.

“We knew we couldn’t trust Bobby to carry the rings but he played a full part in the ceremony – it was lovely.”

The couple, from Paisley, had trawled venues across the country in a bid to find their paw-fect setting.

Lisa revealed: “We must have visited more than 30 but were blown away by the approach of the Savoy Park.

“Lots of places didn’t like the idea of a dog running around during the wedding, but the Savoy couldn’t have been more accomodating.

“The three of us are going on a doggy-moon and will spend time glamping. But me and Robert are also heading to Australia so hopefully he’ll be okay without us.”

Savoy general manager Barbara Christie said: “We were delighted to have Bobby as part of the day and he was a real star.

“He came to get ready beforehand – complete with his doggy aftershave.

“A couple of years ago this might have seemed odd but it’s something that more people are now wanting.

“Dogs are a big part of the family so I’m sure it’s not the last time we’ll host a ceremony like this.”
