Groom turns around to see his wife in her wedding dress: Then suddenly someone else is standing behind him
South Florida (USA) - For a few years now, the "first look" - the moment when the groom sees his future wife in her wedding dress for the first time - has become an integral part of weddings. The emotions written all over the soon-to-be husband's face serve as a unique motif, especially for photographers. For Olivia Crocetti McCoy, the tradition was also on the agenda, but with a tiny twist - which her husband had no idea about!
The wedding bells rang for Olivia and her partner at the end of September. Together with friends and family, the couple from South Florida celebrated an exhilarating party. Before they said "I do", however, they had to do the aforementioned first look.
The groom had positioned himself on the veranda of the wedding venue for this. With his back to the photographer, the American waited for his bride - but she didn't show her face at first.
Instead, the groom was presented with another "family member": Dachshund "Macy". For the big moment, the four-legged friend was dressed up in a cute bridal costume by her owner.
Then the time had come, and Olivia's partner turned around full of expectation - and after a brief moment of confusion, had to laugh out loud at the sight of the disguised dog.

Afterwards, however, he lovingly took his "bride" in his arms and kissed the dachshund on the forehead. This can probably be considered an animal "yes-word".
For bride Olivia, the creative first look idea went exactly as planned: "My absolute favorite video!!!🥹😭❤️🐶", the blonde gushed on TikTok, where the video was published after the wedding.
And it was no surprise that the cute clip quickly racked up millions of clicks. "A lasting memory for both of them," enthuses one user.
