Dachshund Serves As Ring Bearer For His Parents' Wedding And Totally Steals The Show
Usually, the bride's dress attracts the most attention at a wedding, but occasionally a diminutive dog steals the show. Kenny the dachshund is one such cutie-patootie show-stealer. In a TikTok video captioned "I love my baby dog," Kenny takes center stage at a destination wedding: sitting on the bride's lap as emotions overwhelm her, carrying the ring down the aisle while wearing an adorable bowtie, getting kissed on the head by the groom, and dancing under glittering disco balls with the happy couple. Written across the video is the text: "our wedding wouldn't have been complete without our first born son there."

"Wouldn't be the same without Kenny 🥹😭🫶🏼," one viewer noted. Another declared, "Cutest ring bearer ever."
In another wedding-day TikTok video — with "having my son with me on my wedding day was a non negotiable" written on it, and captioned "even if it meant flying him to Mexico lol" — the bride sits on a chair, grooving to music with Kenny perched on a pillow on her lap. Viewers shared plans for their own future dachshund-focused nuptials. "If I get married my daughter is going to be with me at all times too. She is a dachshund too 🥰," one commented, while another wrote, "I can't wait for this day and having my sausage girl with me!!" A cat owner didn't want to be left out of the wedding fun, writing, "I'm having my girl cat be the flower girl and my boy cat the ring bearer."
Including pets in weddings
There are lots of creative ways to include your pets in your wedding, such as adding their likenesses to your wedding cake or featuring them in your getting-ready photos. If you've decided to include your pampered pooch as an integral part of the day's festivities — perhaps as the ring bearer, wearing cute dog wedding attire, like Kenny — make sure to designate a specific individual to be responsible for your canine BFF at all times.
Amidst all the noise and chaos of a happy celebration, someone needs to feed the dog, give the dog water and bathroom breaks, entertain the animal if it gets bored or starts acting up, and remove the dog if it shows signs of stress or anxiety. Hiring a professional dog walker for the day is an excellent option to consider. Several netizens predicted their own precious pets would become overly rambunctious at a wedding. "I fear mine would not be well behaved enough," one viewer commented on the second TikTok video. Another wrote, "Oh so sweet 😭❤ my 5 sons (dachshunds) would be creating HAVOC 😂."
