Robbie bridemaids were a pack of dogs

The pets, who wore collars of flowers for the big day, took pride of place as singer Robbie and actress Ayda tied the knot at his LA home on Saturday.

Robbie, who had no best man, said they had axed normal wedding day conventions.

He said: 'The only thing that's traditional is the vows. No hen party, no bachelor party, no wedding showers.'

Ayda, 31, added: 'Our doggies are taking the bridesmaid roles! I was originally thinking little bow ties for them, but instead they're going to each have flower collars.'

They included Rudy the German Shepherd, a bullmastiff called Duke, Sid the wolfhound and Rottweiler Missy.
