It comes as no surprise that the bride and groom are usually those people that draw the most attention at a wedding. However, there are times when guests steal their thunder. Especially, unexpected guests. This happened to Tamiris Muzini and Douglas Vieira Robert, a Brazilian couple who were pleasantly surprised by a stray dog who came to greet them on their wedding day.

The newlyweds were enchanted by this adorable creature who immediately became the spotlight of the celebration. The dog, who later was named Braiá Caramelo de Jesus, stole the couple’s hearts and got adopted some days after the wedding.

    Bored Panda got in touch with Huandra, a wedding organizer and a volunteer for an NGO for the protection of animals who told us more about the wedding.

    The woman revealed that when she was about to form the groomsmen’s line for the ceremony, the dog arrived and sat right at the entrance of the church! Both Huandra and the groomsmen found that scene very cute. However, they had to somehow move it from there for the bride and groom to be able to enter. But to their surprise, the dog managed to get to the car the bride was in and stayed by her side until she got out.

    Tamiris found it incredible that the dog followed her to the church door. The bride entered the church and the dog stayed at the entrance, lying down until the ceremony was over.

    As Huandra shared, they tried a few more times to get the dog out of the place, but then they realized that he really wanted to be there, so they let him be.

    Both the bride and groom and the whole church loved the dog’s presence and it seemed to be unwilling to let the couple out of its sight

    Huandra noticed that one of the dog’s paws was hurt and he had a little difficulty walking. “He did something he hadn’t done with anyone before, he got to his feet and tried to greet the bride and groom. That’s when the bride said to me, ‘I want to adopt him, he’s amazing.’ But at that moment, there was nothing I could do because I had a contract to follow and everyone went to celebrate the wedding. Our hearts were in love with the puppy.”

    Huandra posted some videos of the dog on the NGO’s page. They quickly went viral and soon people commented that the dog lived on the streets. It was clear that the dog was an orphan.

    The couple couldn’t get the dog out of their heads so they decided to adopt him. They named him Braiá Caramelo de Jesus

    “The first thing the couple told me, right after the wedding, was that they couldn’t get the puppy out of their minds, that they really wanted to adopt him. The day after the wedding, they looked for him a lot, but without success.

    Knowing this demand, I decided to help through the NGO’s page, with a photo of him asking if anyone had any news of where the dog was. Six hours later, a follower sent me a message with images. I immediately recognized the dog, he was very far away in a coffee shop. I asked the follower named Joyce to hold him while the couple went to the place to catch it.”

    They took him to the vet to heal his broken paw and get some medicine

    I am a Brazilian digital artist who loves transforming imagination into hyper-real visuals. I work with artificial intelligence and image editing to create what I always wondered as a child: how would our favorite characters look in real life? Over time, many of my artworks have gone viral and were featured in international publications. I have recreated realistic versions of cartoon characters such as Disney and The Simpsons, imagined how celebrities who died young would look today, and even gave modern faces to historical figures like Mona Lisa or Shakespeare. Beyond entertainment, I created Para Não Esquecer, a social project that revisits memorable criminal cases in Brazil. My goal is to honor victims, keep memory alive and remind society that justice and empathy matter. I also write for Bored Panda, where I create articles featuring artists, photographers, rescue stories and feel-good moments from around the world. My work aims to highlight creativity, kindness and emotional storytelling. In everything I do, my purpose is the same: to touch hearts, evoke emotion and make people feel something real.
