When I read the story of Libbee and Ryan’s wedding, I didn’t just see a celebration of love between two people—I saw a powerful tribute to a lifelong friendship. Including their 19-year-old dog Jack in their ceremony was one of the most touching things I’ve ever heard. It reminded me that love doesn’t always come in human form. Sometimes, it comes with paws, soft eyes, and a wagging tail.

The image of Jack, dressed up and resting peacefully in his little wagon, surrounded by guests who stopped to pet him and say goodbye, truly moved me. It wasn’t just a wedding—it was a farewell party for a best friend. Libbee’s words, “He’s going to heaven on Monday,” were heartbreaking, yet so full of love and acceptance.

What I admire most is how Libbee and Ryan made space in one of the biggest moments of their lives to honor someone who had walked beside them for nearly two decades. They didn’t just include Jack—they celebrated him. They made sure his final days were filled with joy, attention, and the warmth of the people who loved him most.

This story reminded me that true love means never forgetting those who’ve shaped our hearts. Jack may have been “just a dog” to some, but to Libbee and Ryan, he was family. Their wedding was not only a beginning—it was also a beautiful, heartfelt ending. And in that mix of joy and sadness, I saw something rare and unforgettable: the purest kind of love.
