Sure, being a bridesmaid is hard — but being the bouquet’s gotta be even more ruff.
Although love was in full bloom for Joelle Yuvienco during her mid-April nuptials, the beaming bride forwent toting blossoms while walking down the aisle.
She held her hound instead.
“I have a special role today,” said Yuvienco in a TikTok voiceover, speaking for her beloved Pomeranian, Sago.
“Not a flower girl, but the actual flower bouquet,” the then-bride-to-be continued while filming a giddy Sago, who donned yellow and black regalia for the garden-themed fête. “Am I cute or am I cute?”
The pup’s bumblebee-inspired number came as a nod to the dating app Bumble, where Yuvienco and hubby Lenard Stanos — both from Quezon City, Philippines — first swiped right into forever back in 2021.
Sago’s one of the many wild things to make an engaged couple’s big day even better.
Happy honeys have hired all sorts of species to attend their wedding ceremonies.
Florida bride Courtney Laney had a hawk hand-deliver the rings at her recent vow exchange, and groom Joe Keilty surprised bride Kerrilea with a penguin ringbearer for their May 5 nuptials.
“It was really cool and something you don’t expect at a wedding so I just thought even though it’s expensive it’s a once in a life time thing,” said Keilty. “Everyone will talk about it in the future — the wedding where they got to cuddle a penguin.”
Well, everyone’s certainly talking about Sago’s sweet bouquet cosplay.
Cutesy clips of the moment have scored more than 669,000 views from pooch-approving audiences.
“Loved the dog bouquet … wedding goals [for real],” barked a pleased online onlooker.
“Perfect … walking down the aisle with furbaby is so sweet and adorable,” wrote a separate canine advocate.
“Love the dog bouquet or douquet?” another joked.
However, some social media sillies openly feared for Sago’s life.
“So what happened when they throw the bouquet?” questioned a kidder.
“To be clear, no, we did not have a bouquet toss,” Yuvienco, an influencer and voice actor, revealed to “Today.”
The four-legged centerpiece did, however, stick by the bride’s side all day — a habit the Pom’s picked up over the 10 years she’s been Yuvienco’s bestie.
“Everyone who’s met me knows Sago,” said the bride. “She’s been with me through all kinds of ups and downs.
“I’ve gone on news outlets to talk about all different things in my life,” added Yuvienco.
“But I’m most proud to talk about Sago.”
