Rather than “bow tie” formal, their florist, Petaloso, created a floral and palm collar that offered just the right vibe for the handsome pooch. As it goes with weddings, pictures aplenty were being snapped, when Cash decided he’d had enough. “He’s so disciplined with Dan and never really has been as much with me,” laughs Stephanie. “This photo depicts so much of our relationship, of us having fun but also Cash knowing there were enough photos and it was time to get to the alter to marry Dad.” Cash’s role in the ceremony was to accompany the flower girl, Stephanie’s niece, Olivia, down the aisle, which he did with gusto, practically dragging her to the alter. Says the bride, “It was hilarious, and just the giggle I needed to calm my nerves before I walked out!”
