Body Don't Lie

Incoming Editorial·Verified August 20, 2026

A typical wedding morning. The groom wakes from a restless sleep, looks around, and calms down. The bride wakes with him, and they chat and kiss. The groom admires his bride, strokes her shoulder, and suddenly realizes that his right hand has frozen in an inappropriate gesture. He hides this from his bride so as not to upset her, and tries to resolve it during the wedding day, discreetly, without his beloved's knowledge. But no matter what he does, nothing helps until he runs to the park, where he accidentally knocks coffee out of the hand of a passerby. In desperation, he's ready to tell her his shameful secret, and lo and behold! Her hand unclenches. He joyfully rushes to the registry office. In the wedding hall, everything goes according to plan until the moment arrives to say "I do!" and the hand treacherously clenches again.
