While everyone else is getting cats and dogs, this couple from the Netherlands decided to get an unusual pet-a pig. And when the guys decided to get married, they knew in advance who would be the main guest at their wedding photo shoot!
Hannah and her husband Glenn met three years ago and started living together in the Netherlands this year. The guys recently got married, and the special guest at their wedding photo shoot was a pig.

Hannah said: “We knew she would be centre of attention on the day. With coronavirus making everything much more difficult, we decided that we wanted our wedding to be just about us, as our family and friends from England couldn’t make the travel with the regulations at the time. Of course, we celebrated with our family and friends in Holland and Babes role for the day meant that she could fill the spaces of everyone that couldn’t be there. To say she did a good job is an understatement – she was so calm during the photos and listened to us perfectly. We expected something may go wrong and prepared some raspberry treats for her just in case, but fortunately the big day wasn’t one of those where she pretends she’s starving and eats like a pig – excuse the pun. We know for sure she enjoyed the day; she had all sorts of treats from us and many others and took herself off to bed a little earlier than normal”.

Babe is the couple’s favorite pet and they adore her. They adopted her a year ago when she was still very young. She was living on a farm and needed a home. Now she lives happily with the guys as a pet.
When it came to the wedding, Hannah had no doubt who would be her main bridesmaid – Babe, of course. They were originally from different countries, so they didn’t really celebrate the wedding. They decided to have a photoshoot with Babe – and it turned out to be very creative and adorable.
Although many people think it’s weird to have a pig at home, the guys love their pet.

Hannah added: “Glenn and I spoke lots about getting a dog, however with both our busy work schedules we decided it just wasn’t possible.

 On our first trip to the farm we put a deposit down for a piglet that would be arriving six weeks later. However, we received a call earlier than expected, as she had a little piglet left over from a previous litter that needed a home. We straight away agreed to take her home, and like that she was part of our little family. She is now a like a spoilt, single child. For the most part, we would describe her best as sweet, dramatic and a little bit a mamma’s girl. I once read someone describing owning a mini pig as like having a three-year-old child with a personality of a cat, but with sledgehammers as feet, which I would say is very accurate. She never fails to keep us on our toes and to keep the smiles on our faces. We couldn’t have imagined our wedding day without her.”
