OAKVILLE, ON—Despite a complete lack of premeditation, a group of local groomsmen decided the best thing to do during a recent wedding ceremony would be to drape their arms across the front of their bodies and hold their own hand.

"Nobody really talked about it," says Grant Wiseman, who served as the Best Man. "It didn't even come up at the rehearsal. But I guess when the moment arrived, we all knew what to do."

All five groomsmen wordlessly assumed the pose shortly after the start of a wedding service in Oakville. Wedding attendees say the synchronization looked "effortless."

"Honestly, they were free to do whatever they wanted," says bride Laura Murdock. "We didn't give them any specific direction. Personally, I thought it was great they wound up looking so coordinated."

While the five men were almost perfectly in sync, one groomsmen, Blake Furlong, was responsible for the only discrepancy.

"Yeah, I guess all the other guys went left-hand-holding-right-hand, while I went right-holding-left," says Furlong. "Things got tense when we saw the photos; some of the guys were pretty sour. Honestly, I thought we did pretty well considering it was improvised."

In addition to the coordinated pose, all of the groomsmen chose an identical facial expression, adding to the sense of simpatico.

"We basically nailed it, from a facial perspective," says Wiseman. "Again, fluky, but we all went with, 'closed-mouth approving smile, twinkle eyes.' Pretty fortunate."

Emboldened by their success, the groomsmen are considering starting a wedding pose consulting business for other prospective parties.

"Look, we got lucky – things worked out for us. But I can only imagine that for most weddings, it's chaos," says Furlong. "I assume groomsmen arms are everywhere – in pockets, waving to their friends, scratching themselves… you can't leave this kind of thing to chance."
