Shock jock Howard Stern’s fiancé Beth Ostrosky is planning the couple’s October wedding – including buying an extravagant accessory for her dog “bridesmaid,” Ostrosky’s Bulldog, Bianca.
The New York Post reports that Ostrosky recently ordered a crystal “bridal” dog collar for her big day at specialty boutique Hamptons Hound. The Santorini collar costs up to $350 and has two rows of hand-beading on a suede-backed collar.
Model and actress Ostrosky and Stern are longtime animal lovers. Ostrosky hosted Animal Planet’s “World’s Ugliest Dog Competition” in Petaluma, Calif., last year, and serves as a spokesperson for the New York-based nonprofit animal rescue organization North Shore Animal League.

First-time-marathoner Ostrosky has said she hopes to raise at least $262,000 for her “Team Go Beth O!” during the 26.2-mile race.
