[Originally posted at Couple Holds Wedding ‘Kitten Hour’ Instead Of Cocktail Hour by Elyse Wanshel]
Newlyweds Iz, 26, and Colleen, 27, who asked to be identified by just their first names to protect their privacy, were married in August at a Quaker meetinghouse — a venue that did not allow alcohol.
This created an obstacle for the pair, who wanted their guests to be entertained at the venue while they had their post-wedding family portraits snapped by a photographer.
Colleen (above) and Iz provided a “kitten hour” instead of a cocktail hour for their guests.
After Colleen suggested doing something with a falcon (which Iz adamantly opposed) the couple came up with a plan that paid tribute to two special friends that couldn’t make it to their nuptials — their older, disabled rescue cats, Ladybird and Pangur.
“When we were brainstorming something alcohol-free for our guests to do while we took family pictures, kittens came up and things flowed from there,” Colleen told HuffPost.
The result was a “kitten hour” instead of a cocktail hour — where guests could play and snuggle with six kittens from the Seattle Animal Shelter.
Iz and Colleen foster cats from the shelter and donated to the rescue before their wedding. They also asked guests to donate to SAS as wedding presents.

I totally have a weakness for all things cat-related. I admit it. When I saw this I knew I had to put it on here. Not only is it such a unique way to spice up a cocktail hour, it involves cats. I don’t think I’d be able to go to this reception without adoption literally all the cats there. Soo maybe it’s a good thing I was not on the guest list.
