That being said, if you are considering having a four-legged friend join you at the altar, remember that you invite an alpaca into your wedding at your own risk; they are, after all, wild animals, and the possibility – however remote – of abrupt projectile defecation
abrupt projectile defecation
Is this true about Alpacas?

For USians, you can have llamas with top hats as wedding guests.
I have one of these babies on each arm , based off of my wedding stationery. (Here's my cake topper, just because it's adorable)
So yeah. Had I know about this option 5ish years ago, I would have been all over having some dapper llamas, alpacas, vicunas, guanacos, etx make an appearance.

I guess, if this option had been available at the little chapel in Vegas where I got married, I would have been like, Sure, why not? That's how they sold me on the carnation bouquet. It could have stood next to the limo driver and the photographer (we eloped and didn't have anyone we knew come).

Many years ago I taught Elvis Perkins to knit. He calls me "the alpaca queen" in deference to my knitting skills. This has led to a small alpaca collection and my friends texting me when alpacas are in the news.
What I'm saying is, I think Gentleman Caller and I should elope to Japan.

Every few years I seem to read an article about some poor hobby farmer getting castrated by an angry llama, but I agree that alpacas and llamas are cute and fluffy.

Alpacas are super cute, but not particularly friendly, and like a lot of livestock poop where they like. So, yeah, I would be cautious.

I'm going to have to send this to my mom. The bridesmaid at her wedding was a donkey named Dolly.

Some are friendly! I lived next door to an alpaca farm and most of them were skittish, one of them would come up to you if you offered him grass through the fence and accede to being petted allll the way down its neck.

That's some serious floof on that Alpaca. It may have spent more time preparing than the bride.
