The world's largest doggy wedding ceremony is to be hosted by a town in Illinois.

Getting In The Guinness Book Of World Records

Okay, I have mentioned it many times throughout my life that it would be really cool to have my name in the Guinness Book of World Records. Ever since I saw the books at my grade school library.

The only problem is I have no idea how I would even attempt a feat like that. I do not have any kind of skills that would allow me to come even close.

A few years ago was the closest I ever came to any sort of record. The charitable organization in Rockford, Brovember, teamed with the IceHogs to try and break the world record for most people with facial hair in one place. Unfortunately, that did not work out.

Here Is Your Chance To Get Into The Guinness Book Of World Records

Well, if you have the same recording-breaking desire on your bucket list as me, here is your opportunity.

I am serious. This is no joke. Apparently, the world record for the largest doggy wedding ceremony is a real thing. Check out this attempt in Oak Park, Illinois from a few years ago.

Another event is coming up soon to try and break that record again.

Details For The World's Largest Doggy Wedding Ceremony

The funny thing about the event, it is being held in the town where I grew up. That is in Villa Park, Illinois. My mom stills lives there and it is just a short drive from Rockford.

I might have to visit her that day to see it for myself. Unfortunately, I do not own my own dog to participate.
