bride

Bride Kristen Dupree was started to feel nervous and jittery before the ceremony so she had an idea. She asked one of her bridesmaids to go and get her two-year old black Labrador, Zeke, who had been hanging out with the groom and groomsmen all morning. 

And what happened next was just pure happiness and love. A mini-series of heart-warning "first look" photographs of Kristen and Zeke, taken by Farlow Photography, that have since gone viral. 

The photos of the "first look" between the two hold the raw emotions of love, and we're pretty sure that's what makes this spontaneous shoot so magical. 

Weird, right? Didn't realize this was a thing. ;)

What would you do if you wanted to have a bridal photoshoot but did not have any girlfriends? That's exactly what happened to 24 years old Rebecca from Brazil who studies computer engineering and is one of four women in her class of 60 students. Therefore, it's no wonder that during her years in class she gained a few great guy friends which she invited to be her bridesmales. The resulting photographs are hilarious and stunning.

Bridesmaids holding puppies instead of bouquets is definitely one of the cutest wedding trends we've seen this year. After seeing a picture of a bridal party holding puppies instead of bouquets last fall, Meghan Butler decided she wanted the same at her wedding since pet adoption is one of her passions. In fact, she and her husband share four adopted pets — two cats and two dogs — between them. So when they got married last month in North Carolina, she had the Greater Charlotte SPCA bring eight puppies to the photo shoot before her wedding in hopes that the dogs would get adopted faster. Their "bouquets" drew so much attention to the adoptable pups that all of the puppies have been adopted since their wedding. We Hope more brides to be will adopt this adorable idea.
