Lavish dog wedding

Two dogs got married Thursday night at an extravaganza to benefit the Humane Society of New York.

Among the guests were Dachshunds Clifford (left) and his cousin Dee Dee. The affair set a Guinness World Record in the category of most expensive pet wedding at $158,187.26. The luxury goods and services that went into the wedding were all donated. Guests bought tickets for the Manhattan fundraiser.

Bride Baby Hope Diamond, a white Coton de Tulear with black-gray markings, was led down the aisle, resplendent in her canine couture gown. Her poodle groom, a dapper dude named Chilly Pasternak from Richmond, Va., didn't seem too excited about the whole affair but, nevertheless, went along with the ceremony.

Blue Joie attended the black-tie gala at the Jumeirah Essex House Hotel at Central Park.

Hec-lin, a toy poodle, sparkled in gold and fake eyelashes. A company co-owned by Ellen DeGeneres provided a pet food buffet.

Eli, a Chihuahua, is held by his owner Karen Biehl of New York, as they wait for the start of the most expensive wedding for pets.
