Golden Retriever's Glow-Up Before His Parents' Wedding Will Leave You In Awe
Most people love weddings — the theatrics, the cake, the dancing. One thing that always makes a wedding even better? A dog. Yes, a dog, because who doesn't love a wedding where the couple's best fur friend is by their side, looking as dapper as anyone else there and stealing the spotlight? Case in point: watch this golden retriever named Brew get an amazing glow-up right before his parents' big day on TikTok. It just might leave you in awe!

"Getting ready for my pawents wedding!!! 💒 🤭" notes the caption, as the video rolls through the phases of pup going from "dirty" to "handsome." We see him get washed, trimmed, and decked out in a doggy-style tuxedo for the big day. Gorgeous!
"Best man? More like best boy 💚," quips one comment, as another asked, "Is he proposing? I accept 🥰!" Meanwhile, in follow-up posts, it seems Brew's handsome attire and fluffy fur garnered him some attention from another golden retriever, and he created some comical content about winding up married himself!
How to get your dog wedding ready
Getting your dog ready for your wedding starts with choosing a role that fits their personality. First, make sure your venue allows dogs, then decide whether your pup should walk down the aisle, pose for photos, or simply make a cameo at the reception — there are always creative ways to include your pet! A calm dog might love the spotlight, while an anxious pup may be happier participating for just a few minutes and then retiring. The goal is fun, not stress.
Once the role is set, try on any wedding-day accessories in advance. Let your dog practice wearing a bow tie, floral headband, or doggy-style tuxedo for short periods at home, pairing the test with treats and praise so they associate it with good times. Meanwhile, make sure to bathe them and trim their hair and nails about a week before the wedding so they can have an adorable glow up!
On the big day, assign a trusted handler to make sure your pup stays safe and to manage walks, water, snacks, and breaks. Bringing familiar treats, waste bags, and a cozy bed or favorite comfort toys can help keep things moving in the right direction. Of course, if your four-legged family members start showing signs of stress or fatigue, it's time to whisk them away and call it a night. It's hard work being the center of attention!
