Ana stopped.
The guests looked at each other, bewildered.
The groom also approached.
Then Ana said with determination:
— Let’s go to the veterinary clinic.
Right now.
The wedding was canceled instantly.
The white dress, the music, the flowers: everything was left behind as she, the groom, and her parents loaded Rex into the car and headed to the hospital.
During the wedding, the German Shepherd unexpectedly stood in front of the bride; a second later, something surprising happened.
The vets diagnosed: Rex was suffering from heart failure, and his days were numbered — maybe just a few, at most a few weeks.
Ana couldn’t hold back her tears.
— I can’t celebrate the wedding knowing that Rex is fading away.
He’s my family, she told her boyfriend.
— Please, let’s postpone everything.
I have to be by his side.
The boyfriend hugged her tightly and accepted without hesitation.
— Of course, he is the most important thing.
We’ll have the wedding later.
What matters is being with those we love.
And suddenly, a few hours later, Ana’s parents, the groom’s parents… and a priest entered the veterinary room.
They had brought the rings, the flowers.
— We thought — said Ana’s father — that if the wedding has to be celebrated in the presence of all the loved ones, why not have it here?
So that Rex is also with you at that moment.
During the wedding, the German Shepherd unexpectedly stood in front of the bride; a second later, something surprising happened.
So, right there in the clinic, an authentic and deeply sincere ceremony took place.
Ana, dressed in a simple white robe; the groom, with his shirtsleeves rolled up; and between them, Rex, sleeping peacefully, feeling the love surrounding him from all sides.
