During the ceremony, all the guests were having fun: dancing, laughing, clinking glasses, and joyful shouts filled the hall. It seemed like a flawless day — the very moment one dreams of for a lifetime. I held the bride’s hand, we sat together watching the guests dance.
And suddenly, in the middle of all that joy, the bride leaned toward me and whispered quietly:
— Something is moving under my dress.
At first, I didn’t even understand what she said. I looked at her and laughed, thinking it was just another one of her jokes to lighten the tension.
— What exactly, darling? Your legs? — I joked and even laughed out loud, drawing the attention of the neighbors at our table.
But the laughter quickly faded from my face. The bride looked at me so seriously, with such an anxious expression, that I started to feel uneasy.
