Anna Paquin's dog will be the ring bearer at her wedding.

The 27-year-old actress is planning to marry her "True Blood" co-star Stephen Moyer next year, and the couple hope their pet pooch will play a major part in the ceremony.

Speaking at the Good Dog Rescue Foundation gala in Los Angeles earlier this week, Stephen said: "Splash, my alpha, will be the ring bearer, although my son may not be too happy about that."

But the canine's participation is the only detail Anna and Stephen have decided on so far.

He exclaimed: "We haven't planned anything. People always say that we are engaged to be married and I always say that I thought we were just engaged!"

The 39-year-old actor also revealed the details of Anna's engagement ring, which was designed by a close friend.

He said: "It's made of silver, and it has this amazing rustic diamond, it's not a rough diamond, but a diamond that isn't sort of clear and we decided to make it into a ring."

Stephen has two children, Billy, nine, and seven-year-old Lilac, from previous relationships.
