Here comes the bride, all dressed in dog!

Wedding dresses are a matter of uniqueness and self-expression on the bride's special day. Some brides want to look like a princess from a fairytale, with a glow that looks magical, and some brides want to look like a rockstar and the coolest person in the venue. We should know, because that's how our wedding looked like - with the wife looking like a majestic princess and your humble Animal Comedy writer as a rockstar with pristine white Dr. Martens boots. It was a perfect day, and our dresses were the best.

But then you have dog owners. Now, we're cat moms in this house (yeah, very unapologetically classic lesbians), so we didn't have to deal with the absolutely adorable situation the brides at the r/aww community had to deal with on their wedding day. We had many contingencies on our special day, such as a wine spilled on a dress or a high-heeled shoe breaking right before the ceremony, but a pupper planting themselves on either of our dresses wasn't one of them.

But that's the thing with any pet pawrent - when it comes to the pet, everything becomes lighthearted and funny. So when the brides shared their adorable doggos sitting on the train of their dresses, it was all wholesome smiles and soul wagging tails. Seriously, our hearts absolutely melted (also for the stunning wedding dresses, like wow!) we are seriously considering adopting a dog. But not having another wedding, one was definitely perfectly enough.

Adorable dog, beautiful bride, cute couple, amazing photos. Not every bride and groom can say they have such unique and wholesome wedding pictures. Just imagine this couple's future kids flipping through the wedding album, seeing the family dog being an integral part of this special day. It'll create some great expectations for their own future wedding for sure. It'll have to include a dog. And that means another future dog adopted! Which is always a happy occasion.

This bride won not one, but two precious puppers blessing her dress with some dog fur of happiness. It's a true joy sharing your wedding day with family, friends, and definitely with the adorable pets you raise. And two of them? That's wedding magic right there.

We love that this dog is a part of literally every step of the way. It might not be a picture shared here, but we're 100% sure this dog also danced like never before on the dancefloor, making the bride, the groom, and all the guests as happy as they could ever be.
