On the verge of marrying Gabby, Vinny Dingle hides a secret he can’t admit — not even to himself. A forbidden moment, a kiss that almost happened, and a gaze he couldn’t hide… Is he marrying the wrong person for all the wrong reasons?
Vinny Dingle is a man at war with himself. As wedding bells loom and expectations close in, he’s haunted by a truth he can’t fully speak — a truth that might shatter not only his future with Gabby but his entire sense of identity.
It began innocently enough. Or so he told himself. A close friendship with Kammy Hadiq took a sharp turn one evening when Vinny, caught in a rush of confused emotion, leaned in for a kiss. Kammy backed away, clearly uncomfortable, but what lingered was more than just awkwardness — it was a crack in the illusion Vinny had built around his life.
His relationship with Gabby had already been shaky. Deep down, Vinny had always questioned who he was. His first meaningful relationship was asexual. And now, as he approaches a lifelong commitment, those unresolved questions return, louder than ever.
Desperate to prove — to himself, to his mum Mandy, to everyone — that he’s “normal,” he throws himself into wedding planning. He smiles, nods, pretends. When Kammy gives him a watch as a wedding gift, Vinny thanks him — but inside, the gift feels like a quiet reminder of the truth he’s running from.
Then comes the moment he can’t ignore. Vinny watches Kammy working in the scrapyard, and it hits him like a punch to the gut. The look in his eyes, the longing he tries to suppress — it’s unmistakable. He isn’t straight. And this marriage is a lie.
But how do you stop a train already set in motion?
Vinny’s inner spiral becomes dangerous. He searches online for answers, hoping Google might do what his heart can’t. But in his carelessness, he risks exposing himself — not just emotionally, but publicly.
The next day, a seemingly unrelated confession by Aaron about kissing Robert at his own wedding triggers something in Vinny. His reaction is too sharp, too panicked. Aaron picks up on it. Vinny tries to deflect, but when pressed, he finally admits — he nearly kissed someone too. He doesn’t say who. He doesn’t have to. The look in his eyes says it all.
Aaron listens without judgment. But will he see the truth behind the words? Will he help Vinny accept what he’s too scared to face?
Time is running out. The wedding is coming. The guests are waiting. But the groom? He’s not sure he even knows who he is.
And if the truth comes out — will anyone still be waiting for him at the altar?
