Britains most extravagant dog owner has splashed out an incredible £20,000 on giving her pampered pooch the perfect wedding day.
Louise Harris, 32, invited 80 guests to the lavish ceremony to watch her Yorkshire terrier Lola tie the knot with Mugly, a Chinese Crested, who holds the title of the UK's ugliest dog.
The bash was held in an outdoor marquee in the grounds of a mansion in Bradwell-on-Sea, Essex, costing £2,500 for the venue alone.
Lola wore a £1,000 wedding dress, made by dog clothes designer Michele Ochs, who created all the outfits in the Beverly Hills Chihuahua film, customised with 1,800 Swarovski crystals by Latimer Couture.
Her outfit was finished off with a £400 pearl necklace, Swarovski crystal leg cuffs costing £250, and finally a Swarovski crystal lead costing £350.
Louise also spent £1,000 on decorative flowers, £3,000 on designers to decorate the marquee, £400 on a personal wedding planner, and even £400 for security guards.
Louise, who owns two other Yorkshire Terriers, Lulu, four, and two-year-old Larry, who acted as bridesmaid and page boy, said: "I wanted Lola to have the perfect day.
"My dogs are my pride and joy so nothing is too good for them. I enjoy spoiling them because it makes me happy."
Louise, who runs dog boutique and grooming parlour Diva Dogs, in Essex, ran an online competition on her DivaDogs website and Facebook to find the perfect husband for Lola.
She received hundreds of entries but whittled it down to a final six potential partners and was surprised when Lola's obvious favourite was Mugly, voted Britain's ugliest dog, owned by Bev Nicholson, 47.
Louise said: "I must admit when I went to meet Bev and Mugly I really didnt think Lola would like him. She is a bit of a diva and loves her clothes and jewellery so I did think she would go for a dog more like her.
"But they do say opposites attract and they happily played together all day. They seemed to really enjoy being together and had a lot of fun so I thought he was the perfect future husband for Lola."
