Two dogs got married this week in New York as part of a charity event to raise money for the Humane Society of New York. Baby Hope Diamond, the bride, walked (on all four) down the aisle where her groom, Chilly Pasternak, a poodle from Richmond, Virginia, was waiting.
The wedding cost $158,000, giving Chilly and Baby Hope a Guinness World Record for most expensive pet wedding ever. We are talking about a black-tie ceremony was put together by a celebrity wedding planner, an expert “lighting guru” and acclaimed chefs. A company co-owned by talk show host Ellen DeGeneres contributed food for the pet food buffet. TLC’s Cake Boss also made the cake.
Sure there are better examples of the wealthy wasting money which is their prerogative. If they want to burn their cash I guess they can. But $158,000 could have fed a lot of poor people in New York.
In fact what does it say about our society when two dogs can get married in the state of New York but not two people of the same sex.
