They had always planned on including their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.com.au\/articles\/wedding-animals\/\">beloved dog<\/a> Bella in their special day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During the time of photos it rained and didn&#8217;t stop until around 8pm when we did our first dance,&#8221; recalls the bride. &#8220;My dress got trashed as you could tell in some photos. My basset hound, Bella, was tied to a metal chair. Once the chair was moved she got scared and ran off, nearly losing the cake then she ventured off through the venue with the chair still tied to her.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, groom Rhys chased her down. &#8220;It was scary but funny at the same time,&#8221; laughs Shaleigh.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.translucentphotography.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
