Get Pets from Own Bonding Ceremony?

[kwsapphire]

Does anyone know if it's possible to get the pets from your own Bonding Ceremony?
- Can I have my husband invite one of my alts?
- Would I then be able to swap characters during the ceremony?
- How long does the Alt have to be logged in to get the pets?
- Is there a specific part of the ceremony or reception that must be attended to get the pets?
- Is this even allowed? Or is it considered an exploit?

I bought the Platinum plan for my husband and I not realizing that the pets are for guests, not for us. (I realize this is totally my fault for not reading closely enough.)

Paying $40 for just the mount and two (nearly identical) dresses feels .. less good. I really want the pets too. >_>

I appreciate any help you can provide, thank you!
