Pet Birthday Party Theme - Snake Wedding
I had a wedding for my pet rosy boas.
Rosy boas are smaller than regular boas and only grow to be about
fourteen inches long and maybe 3/4 inch in diameter. I named them,
Holly and Sleestack, after characters in the TV show, "The Land
of the Lost". It was my favorite show on TV when I was growing up.
When Holly became pregnant, my boyfriend Jake and I decided to have
a wedding for the two of them.
We invited a few friends over turned it into a party of it. I baked
a cake and decorated it with with dinosaur shaped candy sprinkles
on top. We had snacks and drinks for everyone. We bought a bottle
of champagne to celebrate after the ceremony.
I made a miniature veil and tried to put it on Holly, but didn't
cooperate. She kept on sliding through it. I thought she was getting
annoyed so I stopped trying and left them naked.
I decorated the decorated the aquarium with white crepe paper and
set up a mini altar. I even attached a few plastic jewels to the
side of the aquarium so it looked like a Sleestack hide out. It
looked very cool!
Jake acted as the minister and performed the wedding ceremony while
I took the wedding photos.
After the ceremony, I served the cake and Jake gave a mouse to each
of the snakes. Everyone toasted to their happiness with Champagne.
After the wedding we decided to watch some old episodes of, "Land
of the Lost" that I had on tape. We all laughed and had a really
great time.
Jake brought Holly and Sleestack out into the living room while
we watched TV. Usually they are a bit tempermental, but they were
being friendly to everyone.
Later, I developed the photos and discovered I managed to get a
picture of the two snakes in together at the altar. I had it framed
and hung it above their aquarium.
