Our wedding was in full swing, and my husband and I were over the moon! The energy was amazing, and everyone was having the best time. At one moment, my sister grabbed the mic and said, “I’ve got a wedding game for you guys! ”

Turns out, she had hired a professional with a legit lie detector machine. It sounded hilarious, so we went along with it. Questions like, “Have you ever snuck a midnight snack without telling your partner?” had everyone cracking up.

Then, out of nowhere, my uncle stood up, skipped the line, and with a dead-serious face, said: “Now it’s my turn to ask a question!”

My uncle’s sudden seriousness silenced the room. The energy shifted, laughter turning into hushed murmurs. My husband and I exchanged nervous glances, our hands instinctively tightening around each other’s.

He stepped forward, his face unreadable as he took the mic from my sister. “Let’s see how truthful you two really are,” he said, his tone a mix of challenge and mischief. My mind raced. What could he possibly ask?

“Have you ever had doubts about marrying this person?” he asked, his voice cutting through the quiet room.

A wave of tension rippled through the crowd. I could feel every pair of eyes in the room locked on us. My heart thudded in my chest as the lie detector operator adjusted the machine, signaling me to answer first.

I closed my eyes, took a deep breath, and spoke honestly. “Yes.” Gasps erupted in the room, but I continued, refusing to let anyone misunderstand. “In the early days of our relationship, I wasn’t sure I deserved someone as kind and patient as him. I was scared of ruining something so good. But those doubts didn’t last because I realized how much I loved him—and that he loved me, flaws and all.”

The machine beeped, signaling my truthfulness. The crowd let out a collective sigh of relief, followed by scattered applause. My husband smiled at me, his eyes shining with pride. Then it was his turn.

He hesitated, his face thoughtful. “Yes,” he finally admitted. The room froze again. “Not about her,” he added quickly, his voice steady. “But about myself. I’ve always wondered if I could be the husband she deserves. She’s so strong, so compassionate, and I worried I might fall short. But every day she reminds me that love isn’t about perfection—it’s about showing up, no matter what.”

The machine confirmed his truthfulness, and the room broke into applause, louder this time. I could see tears in my mom’s eyes, and even my sister, who had orchestrated this entire spectacle, looked touched.

But my uncle wasn’t done. He leaned closer, his expression softening as he asked the final question, one that caught everyone off guard: “Do you promise to always fight for each other, no matter what life throws at you?”

This time, there was no hesitation. Together, we answered, “Yes.” The machine beeped, but nobody needed confirmation. The conviction in our voices was enough.

The room erupted into cheers, and just like that, the tension was replaced with celebration. My uncle handed the mic back to my sister, giving us both a nod of approval. “You passed,” he said with a grin, his voice tinged with pride.

The rest of the night was a blur of laughter, dancing, and joy. My sister apologized later, saying she didn’t mean to cause any drama, but I hugged her and thanked her instead. That lie detector game, unexpected as it was, turned into a moment we’d never forget—a moment that reminded us and everyone there why we were standing at the altar in the first place.

As the night wound down, my husband and I found a quiet corner to sit and soak it all in. He took my hand, his thumb gently tracing circles on my palm. “I’m glad your uncle asked that last question,” he said, his voice warm. “Because it made me realize I’ll always choose you, no matter what.”

Tears stung my eyes as I leaned into him, the weight of the day’s emotions settling over me. “Me too,” I whispered. “Always.”

That night, as we lay in bed, exhausted but happy, I couldn’t help but think about how love isn’t about having all the answers or being perfect for each other. It’s about showing up, being honest, and choosing each other every single day.
