The wedding reception was dazzling, joyful music reverberating throughout the grand hall. The bride, Aarohi Sharma, draped in a pristine white lehenga, her eyes sparkling as she watched every step of the groom, Rahul Kapoor, who held her hand as they walked onto the stage. She believed today was the happiest day of her life.

But no one expected that at the very moment the officiant announced, ‘Please invite the bride and groom to share their first kiss as husband and wife,’ Rahul suddenly let go of Aarohi’s hand. His eyes fixed on a figure among the guest rows below.

All eyes followed him as he rushed down, leaving the bride stunned on stage. The woman wore a red saree, her hair softly curled, her face subtly hinting at an unhealed pain. It was Priya – his first love, whom he had broken up with two years ago.

No one could stop him. Rahul advanced, embraced Priya tightly, and kissed her right in the middle of the wedding reception. The kiss seemed to release all pent-up emotions, longing, anger, and even the torment of all those years.

Guests gasped, phones flashed continuously. Aarohi Sharma stood frozen, her hands trembling, tears streaming down her face. The groom’s mother turned pale, while the bride’s father slammed his hand on the table and stood up:

– “You ill-mannered wretch! Destroying my daughter’s honor in front of everyone!”
Priya gasped and pushed Rahul away, exclaiming:
– “Are you mad? I only came to congratulate you, why would you do this?!”
Rahul turned to face Aarohi, and said softly:
– “I’m sorry… I can’t lie to you or myself. I still love Priya.”

That very night, the bride took off her wedding dress, pulled her suitcase, and left the hotel. The video “Groom kisses ex-lover in the middle of the wedding” immediately went viral on social media with a flurry of indignant comments.

From a girl promised happiness, Aarohi became a symbol of bitter betrayal. As for Rahul – the man abandoned by his family, public opinion, and even his ex-lover, left with only that fateful kiss – a kiss that cost him everything, including his dignity.”
