In China, pet weddings are rising in popularity, mirroring human weddings, as pet ownership and spending increase.

Pet weddings are becoming increasingly popular in China, driven by an increasing attachment between Chinese owners and their pets, as well as a desire to celebrate love and companionship. With spending on pets rising to 279.3 billion yuan ($38.41 billion) in 2023, and over 116 million cats and dogs owned by urban Chinese, pet weddings are emerging as a trend, mimicking human weddings with picturesque outdoor settings, white lace gowns, and delectable cakes. As China's human marriage and birth rates remain low, pet weddings are a way for pet owners to give their pets a sense of ritual and enhance their lives.
