For the wedding, the first one to take place at the sanctuary, Lattanzio even got ordained so that she could marry the couple herself! This would be a truly special celebration.

Harvie Schreiber from the Cat House on the Kings told Love Meow:

During the ceremony, the kitties either watched, or were busy rubbing up against legs for attention - Lynea's legs, the bride and groom's legs...They always want to be part of what's going on. They are curious and nosy!

The couple didn't ask for wedding gifts, but instead for donations to be given to the Cat House on the Kings.The sanctuary has saved over 24,000 cats and 7,000 dogs since Lattanzio set it up 24 years ago.
