A loving couple adopted a stray kitten after she crashed their wedding last year.
Cat owner Cara racked up more than 3 million likes after posting a video of her meow-filled wedding ceremony on TikTok. The wedding took place at the Curry Estate in Hopewell Junction, New York, in September 2023.
The video shows the groom reading his vows to the bride when audience members suddenly hear a cat, now named Daisy, meowing loudly.
Cara told Fox News Digital that she didn't originally hear the chatty cat.

“We were so focused on the moment and what everyone else was saying,” he explained. “However, we noticed that the crowd and the wedding party started laughing!”
Cara's sister, who served as maid of honor, then brought the matter to the couple's attention.
“[She] Please let us know that there was a cat right there meowing,” the wife explained. “It was so perfectly perched on the tree stump behind us demanding to be heard.”
According to Cara, she and her husband were already “huge cats” before the ceremony, and the feline's unexpected appearance was a highlight.
“We have a cat that we adopted together, Gatsby, [and] “Our friends nicknamed us celebrities Catt (Cara + Matt), and we even had cat cake toppers,” she explained.

“When she showed up, I felt like this was all meant to happen.”
After the couple fell in love with the kitten, the couple's families and friends worked hard to look for her, but had no luck.
“Everyone could talk about the cat. She was the highlight of the night…I knew we had to have her.”

Two weeks later, Cara and Matt were contacted by the wedding venue. After trying for days, the staff was finally able to attract strays with leftover shrimp from past weddings.
“We were on our honeymoon [when they said] They had gotten her and that they would direct her to a shelter if we wanted to adopt her,” Cara explained.
Cara said Daisy fit right into her home. She is named after Daisy Buchanan from “The Great Gatsby” to match her brother, Gatsby.
“She's the most affectionate cat and there's nothing she loves more than spending the day snuggled up inside our sweaters,” Cara said. “It got even better when our resident cat, Gatsby, made friends with her so quickly.”
