The couple met just a year ago and fell head over heels in love with one another. So much so that they were quick to get engaged last February.

Lally’s owner, Theresa Halili, arranged for the pair to have an engagement shoot to celebrate their love.

She asked her friend, 21-year-old photographer Che Vienes to create the photos for her, and Che, accepted immediately.


But this year, the photos are bigger and better as Che did the honours of photographing Lally and Kian’s wedding.

‘It is possibly the first ever documented canine wedding in the Philippines,’ Che told Metro.co.uk.



According to Che, the wedding was held on a beach in Patungan Cove in Cavite. The couple invited 25 guests – all being canines and their respective pet parents.

And of course, bridesmaids (Picture: Che Vienes)

And their fellow guests didn’t just watch, either. Oh no – Lally and Kian had their own bridesmaids, groomsmen and even a pup priest.

Amazing, we know.

Che said: ‘For many it was the most elaborate canine wedding. We had the dog-priest named Max the Boston Terrier (his human officiate the wedding ceremony).

‘We also had Elouis, the dog-wedding singer; behind her its humans who performed acoustic version of “Can’t Help Falling in Love.”

‘And the pet owners also prepared food for the reception… the wedding sponsors, The Pomeranian to be exact, prepared the wedding cake.’

And don’t worry, guys, to dogs had total choice over the cake. Che told us: ‘The cake was not made of chocolate (so both human and dogs can eat it). It was simple buttercake, covered with pink to motif the wedding.’

Che and all the pups and their owners had an amazing time at the ceremony – and Lally and Kian are just overjoyed to finally be able to call themselves man-pup and wife-pup.

Che told us: ‘Just like humans, the best part of the big day was the ceremony, when the cord and the veil was being placed. You’ll be amazed by the love and support of the pet owners.’
