"Wish you a happy married life"

"Sir, I need a special package for the newly weds," my friend said to the medical store owner. The owner, supposedly in mid 50s, handed him one pack with a mischievous smile. All this while, I was a mere spectator and clueless as to my friend would actually go ahead and do this. Both of us were on our way to attend a common friend's marriage reception party.

What was on his mind next...his devilish smile certainly did spill the beans.

Well, our next stop was the dais...where our common friend and our bhaabi were accepting greetings from everybody present for the occasion. The two of us waiting for our turn to greet the newly weds. And when we did, my friend very stealthily delivered the 'packet' into the groom's coat pocket, saying gently into his ears, "wish you a happy married life."

"Isn't the job well done," he asked me while waiving at the groom. I could notice his oozing confidence, but the was now wearing an embarrased smile, stuck in a precarious situation. With nowhere to alight himself of the burden, the poor chap had no option but to stick one of his hands inside the coat's side pocket.

And what followed next was a laughing riot. The next ten phohographs show the groom tightly gripping something inside his coat pocket...
