At a wedding, unruly guests can either make or break the event. We all have that one drunken cousin or the slightly offensive uncle who insists on making a speech.
But, when the unruly guest is a dog?
It's unusual because dogs are never unruly. But, when they are, they make for the most adorable photo opportunities.
And one dog completely stole the show at his parent's wedding. The Simpsons, from North Carolina, wanted their pet dog to be a part of their special day. However, he had other ideas when it came to the photoshoot, and decided to instead frolic about in the nearby lake.
Keep scrolling to see the hilarious photos, and to meet the mischevious pup behind the now-viral photoshoot.
Meet Bernie.
Bernie quickly became a member of their little family.
And the couple are very rarely seen without their four-legged son.So, when they got engaged...
There was no question about Bernie being a part of their big day... despite how messy he can be.Like most English Bulldogs, Bernie has 2 very distinctive qualities...
His family have noticed that he either spends his time lounging around the house and snoozing...So, deciding to have him as part of their big day was a risky move...
Because it would one of two ways... Bernie would either be a placid member of the ceremony, or he would wreak havoc.And, Bernie being Bernie...
He wreaked havoc in the most fantastic way - by photobombing the couple's first photoshoot together as husband and wife.Their wedding location was beautiful.

Bernie had had enough, and he took off straight into the direction of the lake. “He actually bolted straight towards us when he saw us and someone had to scoop him up to avoid him covering my gown in sand and water," Simpson told The Dodo. “We asked him to sit, but in typical bulldog fashion he was only focused on what he wanted to do."He ran straight into the lake.
Jillian encouraged the couple to continue with the photoshoot...
But Bernie decided to crank the photobomb up to a new level...
