Wedding video goes viral thanks to unusual detail: 'No one told me this was an option'

The moment the bride walked down the aisle has melted hearts and gotten millions of views.

We've seen some pretty unorthodox wedding trends in our time, but one bride has taken the cake (or should we say, kibble?) with her unconventional choice of accessory down the aisle. Move over, flower bouquets; it's time for the era of the "bark-uet"!

The visionary behind this adorable twist on tradition is digital creator @joelleohwell, who turned heads and melted hearts when she walked down the aisle cradling her furry friend instead of a bundle of blooms.

And let's just say, the internet's reaction was anything but muted.

A viral video capturing the momentous occasion has sparked a frenzy of admiration, with viewers hailing it as the "best wedding bouquet" they've ever laid eyes on.

As the bride glided down the aisle, her pomeranian dog, decked out in a yellow and black tutu (a nod to the couple's Bumble beginnings), stole the show, creating the illusion of a bouquet bursting with fluffy blooms.

Amidst the flood of adoration, social media users couldn't resist unleashing a flurry of puns and praises. "No one told me this was an option," exclaimed one commenter.

While another quipped: "This is a bark-uet!" Indeed, the consensus was clear: it was "tooooo cute" for words.

"Not me wanting to do this with my 70+ pound English bulldog," another wrote.

A third person shared: "I’ve been dodging all the bouquets at weddings but this is the one I would catch."

Many remarked that the move wouldn't work with many other pets. "My cat would not cooperate," one posted.

"My little man would be barking at everyone the whole time," someone added.

Paws for thought

But, as with any viral sensation, there were bound to be a few dissenting opinions

Some sceptics raised concerns about potential mishaps, with one cautioning: "Until it pees down her dress."

Others took a more serious stance, asserting: "Animals aren't props."

Yet, amidst the lighthearted banter and earnest critiques, one burning question lingered in everyone's minds: Was the precious pup unscathed by the end of the ceremony?

"Thankfully, they did not push through with the bouquet-tossing tradition. No dogs were harmed in this production," commented one wedding guest.

Indeed, the bride herself chimed in the comment section, confirming: "She looooves being carried around!"

And as for the fate of the canine bouquet after the "I do's"? Well, one playful suggestion emerged: "Whoever catches it gets to keep the dog?"

In a world where wedding traditions are constantly being redefined, one thing's for sure: this bride's decision to swap petals for paws has set a new standard for creativity and cuteness on the big day.
