Kelly O’Connell’s wedding day will permanently be special in more ways than one. It’ll not just be kept in mind as the happiest day of her life marrying her best friend but likewise as the day she needed to say goodbye to one more, Charlie Bear the 15-year-old black Labrador. It was only best that he be there by her side.

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

The dog had actually been diagnosed with a brain tumor back in April and would end up diing on September 9th.

R.I.P., Charlie Bear. You will certainly permanently be liked and remembered.

Professional photographer Jen Dziuvenis captured the moments as the tears flowed from her eyes informing herself, “I need to keep shooting despite the fact that I’m in a puddle of tears behind the cam.”.

What a beautiful way to say goodbye to her dearest friend who ‘d been with her through it all.
