Overview

• An Instagram post by @vivianaangu on August 14 shows a couple imprinting their dog’s paw on the marriage record as a symbolic witness.
• Mexican law mandates that civil wedding witnesses be adult persons with legal capacity under Código Civil Federal Article 52, so the paw-print holds no official status.
• The clip has garnered over 140,000 likes and continues to attract hundreds of views daily as users applaud the couple’s creativity.
• Social media reactions include affectionate praise for pets’ roles in families and amused comments about the dog’s hesitant response to the paw-print moment.
• Officials from Registro Civil and local media have confirmed that the gesture carries no legal consequences and the marriage remains valid with human witnesses.
