“During my wedding reception, my brother- in-law suggested we add to the feast by having dog stew.  Wanting to be part of the family, and having been subjected to all sorts of socials tests already,  I agreed. The result was…well.. a lot better than I expected. In fact, it was great!”

I swear this is a true article.  It is an actual article and recipe for “Stewed Dog (wedding style)”.  WHERE WAS THIS ARTICLE BEFORE MY WEDDING?  Instead of Filet Mignon and Salmon I could have had stewed mutt.

Now the just of this story appears to be this.  Some non Filipino dude wanted to be accepted in the family and decided to have dog for dinner at his wedding to fit in.

Can you imagine it’s that easy?  You’re speaking with your Filipino father-in-law to be and he says… “Son, we never liked you.  We hated the fact were white, your incessant drug use disappointed us, the fact that you have never had a job in the past ten years really pissed us off, but being your had dog at the wedding… well hell… welcome to the family”. 

Reasons why you would have dog at your wedding:

- Wife-to-be is some really hot, hot, hot Filipino chick and you did not want to disappoint. 
- You were attacked by neighbors Beagle when you were seven and looking for revenge.
- You are a cat

 NOTES : During my wedding reception, my brother- in-law suggested we add to the
feast by having dog stew.  Wanting to be part of the family, and having been
subjected to all sorts of socials tests already,  I agreed. The result was…
well.. a lot better than I expected. In fact, it was great!
 
 It was only later I found out that dog should *not* be served at weddings, as
it may make the bride and groom flight like dogs during the honeymoon. But what
the heck. It didn’t seem to have that effect… at least not until a few year
later. :-)
 
 For the faint of heart, you can always substitute lamb in place of next door’s
rover, but the meat will not be as sweet or as rich in flavor.
