Newlywed couple have their pig Piggy Smalls as flower girl

A Gold Coast husband and wife had two very important guests join them on their special day, those guests being their 90-kilo pet pig and their bulldog.

Sarah McDonald, 33, and Peter Bond, 34, had their pig – which, given its impressive size is rather ironically-named Piggy Smalls – fill in the role of their flower girl on their wedding day.

‘My missus and I always wanted a pig and I promised I’d get her one when we moved onto property,’ Peter told the Gold Coast Bulletin.

‘That’s why we wanted her involved in our wedding at Pacific Surf Life Saving Club, she’s pretty important to us.’

The irony of the name wasn’t lost on the couple, who didn’t realise she would grow to be as big as she is.

Piggy Smalls has been Sarah and Peter’s pet for the last two years and has a special place in both of their hearts. 

During the wedding ceremony Piggy Smalls donned a flower crown as she fulfilled her role of flower girl and was taken down the aisle by Peter.

It didn’t stop there, with their pet bulldog, Morph, playing the part of ‘dog of honour’.

‘It was amazing to have our four legged family members with us on our special day,’ Sarah told Daily Mail Australia. 

The couple hunted on social media for a company that could help them with the task of transporting their four-legged friends and stumbled across Love Laugh Play Pet Minding and Chauffeur.

The company picked Piggy Smalls up from her home in a horse float but the porker had to be encouraged by treats to get moving.

‘She’s a free-range pig … we don’t keep her in a cage so she sometimes disappears next door, but she always comes home, she’s pretty well looked after,’ Peter said.  

Kylie, from Live Love Play, said that she absolutely loved the idea of the animals, especially the pig, being involved in the ceremony.

‘It’s definitely the first pig we’ve had, we’ve had plenty of cats and dogs but never any pigs,’ she explained.

‘We are there to make the day the best it can be with all members of the family, regardless of what kind of furbaby they are,’ Kylie told Daily Mail Australia.

‘Piggy Smalls was a challenge as we had lots of factors to consider, transport was the main one for us, with us needing a horse float and making sure Piggy Smalls was comfortable to travel in.

‘Lucky for us she loves her apples and will do anything for a slice.’
