Julia Luckett and Nick Pierce wanted their best friend to be part of their special day. Zhivago (their dog) has been part of their little family for three years, and they weren’t about to get married without him.
So they made him the photographer! “We knew we wanted to incorporate him into the wedding somehow, but he’s definitely a very adventurous and spirited dog,” Luckett told Insider. “It just seemed like an amazing idea that’s really quirky.” They tied a GoPro to his collar, so all Zhivago had to do was be around them.
“For the whole portion that has cocktail hour, he’s just running from person to person and getting snacks and treats from everyone,” Luckett added. “There’s 10 minutes of footage where he’s just hanging out with one person who’s feeding him cheese off of the appetizer table.”

As governments across the globe install lockdown rules to curb the spread of the coronavirus, many are stuck at home with little to do. Just because you can’t…
After their wedding was cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, this bride and groom decided to do something good. They donated their entire reception meal to 400 healthcare workers.
Fiona and Adam Gordon had planned their wedding day for 120 guests. However, with the COVID-19 outbreak, they instead had a much smaller day with only two witnesses. Since their big day had already been fully planned and paid for, they were left with a lot of food.
Their caterer asked the couple if they would be willing to donate it, and of course the couple said yes.
The food was served to 400 healthcare staff by charity group, Hull4Heroes.
“We’re just happy to help bring a bit of light in the middle of all this. It is times such as these when you realize what’s important,” Fiona told The Birmingham Mail. “The fact that we managed to help in some way because of this is a silver lining.”
“The reaction we have had for doing this is absolutely amazing, but of course the real heroes here are the charity workers,” she added.

Loved-up couples the world over are being left devastated as their weddings have to be cancelled amid the COVID-19 outbreak. When this couple were unable to go through with their wedding as planned, they decided to exchange rings of a different kind.
Laura Acton, 25, and Adam Woods, 32, from Oldbury, West Midlands, were scheduled to tie the knot in March. The couple had been saving money to put toward their dream day for four years. However, as the coronavirus outbreak worsened, their big day was forcibly cancelled – less than 24 hours before they were set to walk down the aisle.

About 18 hours before, their wedding venue contacted the couple to let them know they were closing due to the COVID-19 spread. The couple could not get a refund, but could postpone their wedding to a later date.
“It was one hell of a 24 hours. I am beyond heartbroken. I was supposed to be marrying my best friend but our venue cancelled on us,” Acton told Metro UK.
Devastated, the couple went on ‘honeymoon’ in Liverpool to avoid their home that was covered in wedding decorations. Along the way, they stopped off at a Burger King, where Woods had the idea to exchange onion rings in place of wedding bands.

“Adam ordered some onion rings and when he came back to the car, he told me to put them on – and said we can still exchange rings. You just had to laugh. Seeing as we couldn’t exchange wedding rings we exchanged onion rings.”
She added: “We can still laugh through this as we have each other. If you sit and cry the whole time, you’re only going to make yourself feel worse.”
