There’s loving your pet, and then there’s Louise Harris’ affection for her pooch Lola. Harris coughed up an estimated £20,000 on a lavish wedding ceremony for Lola and Mugly, who also happens to hold the title of Britain’s ugliest dog.

Harris has never made a secret of her love for Lola, and how much she spends on designer clothes, special treatments and birthday parties for her.

It’s no wonder then that, for Lola’s special day, she chose to go overboard, spending on the wedding venue alone about £2,500, as The Telegraph reports.

The ceremony took place in a marquee in Bradwell-on-Sea in Essex, in front of 80 guests, all of them human, apparently.

Other expenditures included £1,000 on flower decorations for the event, £400 on the wedding planner, the same amount on security and bodyguards, £3,000 on designers for the venue, and over £2,500 on the outfits for the bride and groom.

Mugly went for a classic-cut suit, but Lola had to be a bride by all means, and her dress was decorated with 1,800 Swarovski crystals.

Harris had two other dogs, Lulu and Larry, but she says she felt it in her heart that Lola needed her undivided attention for the big day.

“I wanted Lola to have the perfect day. It was meant to only be a relatively small affair with 30 guests but the list just kept getting bigger and bigger because I didn’t want to leave anyone out! Just like most weddings I guess!” she says of plans for the ceremony.

“The day was perfect from start to finish and Lola loved being the centre of attention all day. My dogs are my pride and joy so nothing is too good for them. I enjoy spoiling them because it makes me happy,” Harris adds with pride.

“Lola has completely transformed my life and brings me so much happier so this was my way of thanking her. She loved being the centre of attention!” adds the happy owner.
