On their wedding day, Quinn and his bride, Madeline, planned to do a "first look" – an intimate moment where the bride and groom see each other for the first time in their wedding finery.

While Quinn prepared to burst into tears of joy at the sight of his bride, Madeline had a different plan, as a now-viral TikTok shows.

Madeline sent their dog Pennie in first. She dressed the dog in a little white wedding gown and white veil.

The wedding couple's photographer started a countdown. When the countdown reached 1, Quinn was finally allowed to turn around. The nervousness and joy at seeing his girlfriend in a white dress were written all over his face.

The poor groom looked utterly confused. There was no one behind him. Then he lowered his eyes, saw his excited dog, and burst out laughing.

After his initial shock faded, Quinn knelt down and showered Pennie with kisses. The dog was thrilled with her human's attention and didn't stop wagging her tail or licking his face.

Madeline's plan was clearly a success!

After the furry surprise, Quinn was finally got his first glimpse of his bride. Then the happy couple-to-be posed together with their cheeky dog.

This unique first look is something Quinn and his wife will certainly never forget.
