How traumatized do you think this kid is going to be?Let's suppose 7 kids have fond wedding dog memories and only one kid is traumatized... you don't think that wouldn't be worth it?
If the kid's trauma turns him into a Mongo/Elway type, for sure not worth it. Otherwise, prolly worth it.
I once worked for a guy that had a pet cougar. It slept in the bedroom with him and his wife.
Tippi Hedren had lions and tigers. One of them ate part of Melanie Griffiths head.
Kids get seriously injured by dogs all the time, not sure that's so over the top.
It’s funny how Luckbox interprets, “omg, we have to let the weird dog guy keep his dog unleashed or he’ll throw another tantrum” as “wow, I’m so special I’m the only guy allowed to have a dog off the leash.”

That wasn't it. It was always known that I was going to be bringing my dog. I was told that there would be no other dogs. On the day of the wedding 2 other people brought 3 other dogs and they were told the dogs had to be leashed. I was never told that though.
There are many reasons not to have a dog off-leash at an outdoor wedding that have nothing to do with concerns that the dog will bite a guest.
I grew up with dogs. I've never been bitten by a dog. I can't really imagine being afraid of a dog. But I definitely can imagine a dog jumping in a mudhole and then putting his muddy paws all over me. Some people aren't going to be happy if that happens to them at a wedding.

My dog doesn't jump on people. Doesn't steal food from people, doesn't jump up on tables. Doesn't bark at people or other dogs when driving by in a car
Doesn't really bark much at all. The only thing my dog does is chase deer.
And a deer could have rolled through the wedding. There was a non zero chance of that but she was wearing her GPS.
Luckbox the type to post a selfie with his dog from the dash of a truck with a caption like, "The only loyal woman I need in my life."

No not really I pretty rarely use social media and would never say something so trite at least not to a larger audience. You don't know me at all.
I'm also not a redneck. I've never owned a truck. I loathe country music.

I was making a general comment. I obviously don't know anything about your specific dog. I've known some very sweet dogs that liked to stick their faces in muddy water and then rest their heads on your lap. I guess certain breeds are more fond of jumping in creeks and mudholes than other breeds are.

I mean sure there are reasons why you wouldn't just want a bunch of unknown dogs running around leash free at a wedding. My dog isn't an unknown dog though she's known. She isn't perfect by any stretch vis-a-vis prey drive and recall but she isn't bad in any of the ways that would make her a bad wedding guest at any wedding held at any place other than an animal sanctuary.
Here she is at the actual ceremony.
At the rehearsal dinner I did have her leashed. They had they whole back part of their brew pub rented out and none of the staff said anything I just walked her in through the front door. She did great I sat in a back corner and when I decided to finally get in line for food I just had a friend watch her.
Calm down.
