Kelly O’Connell’s wedding day will forever be special in even more methods than one. It’ll not only be remembered as the happiest day of her life marrying her best friend but also as the day she had to say goodbye to another, Charlie Bear the 15-year-old black Labrador

It was only best that he exist by her side.

It would be Kelly’s maid of honor and sis, Katie Lloyd, who would carry Charlie Bear down the aisle on the special day.

The dog had been identified with a brain tumor back in April and would certainly wind up passing away on September 9th.

R.I.P., Charlie Bear. You will forever be loved and remembered.

Professional photographer Jen Dziuvenis caught the moments as the tears flowed from her eyes telling herself, “I need to keep capturing although I’m in a puddle of tears behind the video camera.”

What a beautiful way to say goodbye to her dearest friend who had actually been with her via it all.
