PUBLISHED ONJune 17, 2025 5:08 AMBYAmierul RashidLove was in the air for Cupid and Tofu on the afternoon of June 14, as the couple went down the aisle to seal their union.
But this was no ordinary wedding ceremony. The bride and groom were four-year-old standard poodles.
Pink was the colour of the day with wedding tables, canapes and decorations all styled to match the romantic theme.
The lush garden space of Venusology Cafe, a dog cafe in Tanglin, provided the picture-perfect backdrop for this celebration of love.
A short clip capturing the big day was shared on TikTok on June 15 and has since gone viral, racking up more than 700,000 views at the time of writing.
The bride and groom did not disappoint with their choice of clothing either, with Cupid looking dapper in a black collar while Tofu complemented him with a laced white gown and veil.
It was an intimate affair with just 46 guests invited to be part of the ceremony, 16 of whom were canines themselves.
Probably the most heartwarming moment was having the bride and groom's eight newborn babies join in the festivities.
Cameras and phones were out as Tofu walked down the aisle, accompanied by her owner.
At the 'altar', Cupid waited patiently to exchange vows.
During the ceremony, as the human guests munched on the dainty food offerings, the furry ones were busy mingling and enjoying each other's presence.
Online, netizens were captivated by Cupid's and Tofu's ceremony, with some cheekily noting how it rivalled some weddings they'd attended.
One user mentioned they were happy for the dogs and wished that Cupid and Tofu "live happily ever after".
Others wondered aloud if the dogs could fully comprehend the major milestone they'd just accomplished.
"Do the dogs know they're getting married?" one asked.
Cupid's owner, Sara Lam, told AsiaOne that the two dogs first met at the same cafe for Cupid's first birthday in 2023.
The wedding cost "under $5,000", said the 38-year-old veterinarian.
She added: "My favourite part [of the ceremony] is the march down the aisle. It reminded me so much of my own wedding but the fun version with all the human kids participating."
