A Florida couple had their bridesmaids carry 5-week-old rescue puppies instead of flowers at their wedding Monday in Plant City, WFLA reported.
Andee Ondina married Tina Krasinski at Wishing Well Barn. Ondina, the general manager at Bayside Pet Resort in Sarasota, said she wanted to raise awareness for rescue animals.
“So my bridesmaids will be holding adoptable puppies with wooden flower collars. ‘Puppquets’ I’m calling them,” said Ondina.
Ondina, the manager at Bayside Pet Resort in Sarasota tells 8 On Your Side that she and her new wife Tina Krasinski love animals. So when it came to planning their ceremony, incorporating an animal rescue was a must.
“We wanted to make sure we brought some awareness to shelter animals. We are so passionate about adopting versus shopping,” said Ondina.
The 5-week-old puppies and their mother were pulled from a kill-shelter in Georgia and taken to Nate’s Honor Animal Rescue in Bradenton.
The puppies are available for adoption, WFTS reported.
