All Mustelidae wrangled. Except badgers. Drama llamas by appt.
I hear alpaca meat is very tasty. Maybe Brian could come as the main course. With some tofu.

We had children at our wedding, and one of them brought a teeny little baby Maltese terrier, not toilet trained obviously. I even have photos holding the pup. I would have welcomed an alpaca too! my parrot was supposed to come but he flew away that day true story. What fun is a wedding without kids... Or pets?

Sorry OP, but I had a No Alpaca rule for my wedding too, just the last time we let one come to a family function, there was a big row as MIL got mistaken for him from behind and given a rub by dear old Great Uncle Bob.

I think you've missed the fact that the bride is doing you a favour. She's obviously just trying to protect Brian from dodgy old Uncle Harold who she has to invite but really isn't safe around alpacas.

Can't you offer to shear Brian at the wedding and then make a little working bee in the corner where everyone can spin then knit themselves jumpers for winter ? Sorta like how others have photo booths & rooms to create video messages for the happy couple. Thank you OP for making me smile on an otherwise s**t day!
