Furry Friendly Wedding PAWty
MS. STELLA HOANG
Groomswoman
Lil' Ms. Stella is the only Cavoodle in the pack. She's tiny but she loves to hang out with the bigger crowd so it's only fitting that she will be strutting her stuff down the aisle representing the under 25 lb'ers. When she's not making people smile at the hospital, Stella can be found practicing her tricks. What many do not know - this four year old little ball of fur is an AKC Novice Trick Dog! Twirling is what she does - among other tricks.
Ms. Macy Hall
Bridesmaid
Ms. Macy ( an 8.5 year old Goldendoodle) is one of the Matriarchs of the MUSC Pet Therapy teams. Her passion for the past couple of years keeps her extremely busy at the Children's Rehabilitation Center helping little humans with their physical and occupational therapy sessions. And since playing tug of war with children is one of her favorite things to do, she's a PAWfect fit for the J.O.B. Feel free to get to know Macy better - follow her on IG at Macy Hall-Therapy Dog.

MS. LACIE DALPEE
Groomswoman
Ms. Lacie is a true lady of love because she was born on Valentines Day! A four year old Vizsla who loves to work all over the MUSC campus. You can find her walking the halls of the hospital, barking it up with the staff at Ashley River Tower or cuddling with the patients receiving infusion at the Hollings Cancer Center. Her svelte figure has to be attributed to her active aquatic lifestyle and her love for fruit and veggies as snacks.

MR. CHARLIE CHARIZARD
Groomsman
Our sole Groomsman, a stoic eight year old Great Pyrenees, was named after "Charlie the Charizard" one of the many Pokemon plush. A nerdy charizard who'd rather spend time on the internet looking up stuff rather than being popular due to his species." He's been a Therapy Dog since 2014 and is the proud pup of three levels of Obedience. Charlie has mastered the art of eating anything and doing absolutely nothing! but he is PAWsome when it comes to making people smile and feel good!

MS. MERCY DIEHL
Ring Bearer
Younger sister to the bride, Ms. Mercy, a 7 year old Landseer Newfoundland, begged and rolled over several times yearning to be a part of this wedding. So the Bride bowed and shook her tail yes. Ms. Mercy will carry the bedazzled collars to the altar when the time comes. She's rehearsing daily to make her sibling proud. Mercy, Jazz, Nevie and Ruby all volunteer at MUSC and are very social.
