Mic picks up the groom's heartbeat as the bride approaches. It revealed what he genuinely feels about her
Everything was normal until she touched him, and he felt his to-be-wife's presence.
Sam Kudria (@sam.kudria), a wedding videographer, was editing a couple's first look when he heard something unusual through his headphones. He checked again, only to find that the mic had accidentally captured the groom's heartbeat. What was more special was when he realized that the man's heartbeat seemed to rise first the minute his to-be-wife touched him. The wedding videographer posted the video on Instagram on February 5.
They wanted to capture the couple's honest reaction, so they had attached a lavalier microphone to his suit. He was standing with his back to the bride when she walked in. Everything was normal until she touched him, and he felt his to-be-wife's presence. He immediately recognized her touch and looked back to see his beautiful bride, and his heartbeat — let's just say it needed a seatbelt. It was clear that the man had been waiting for this moment forever, and when it finally happened, he couldn't hold back his emotion. He was in awe of her; in fact, the groom loved everything about her wedding look. "You like it?" she asked, and the man confessed, "I love it." He couldn't believe the gorgeous woman in front of him was his. "You look beautiful. I love you," he added. The man also noticed that his girl was a bit overwhelmed, perhaps nervous about their new life, so he assured her, "We are going to get through this." He then continued praising her; in fact, it's safe to say that he fell for her all over again.
Scientific studies have found that couples who genuinely appreciate you or praise you end up in beautiful marriages. In fact, research by the University of Georgia found that all it takes is a simple "Thank you" for saving marriages. "We found that feeling appreciated and believing that your spouse values you directly influences how you feel about your marriage, how committed you are to it, and your belief that it will last," explained Ted Futris, a co-author and an associate professor in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences. The study asked 468 married individuals about topics like financial well-being, demand/withdraw communication, and spousal gratitude. At the end, the survey revealed that relationships where gratitude is prioritized showed a strong, statistically meaningful relationship. "It goes to show the power of 'thank you,'" said Allen Barton, the lead author of the study. Moreover, the researchers found that higher levels of spousal gratitude expression were linked to a lower chance of divorce or separation. "Even if a couple is experiencing distress and difficulty in other areas, gratitude in the relationship can help promote positive marital outcomes," Barton added.
