Horse steals a bride's spotlight by posing with the biggest smile

How can anyone get mad at that face?

Typically on a bride's wedding day, the last thing she wanta is to share the spotlight. However, there might be a few exceptions, especially if you're an adorable horse.

Bride Patti Womer loves her two horses, Dutch and Cricket, and wanted the pair to play a part in her September wedding. But one of the horses stole the show as they all posed for wedding photographer Tony Bendele.

Sure, Womer looks lovely smiling happily in her wedding gown, but it's Cricket's toothy grin that really shines.

Bendale shared the photo on his Facebook page and it seems like most commenters just really want their own smiling horse for their big day. There's no word if Cricket is available for Best Man duties, though.
