Arthur smiled, took a sip of his coffee, and leaned closer.<\/p>\n
“Of course I was worried about my heart.”<\/p>\n
His friend nodded.<\/p>\n
“Exactly! That’s what I’m saying.”<\/p>\n
Arthur chuckled.<\/p>\n
“So before the wedding, I asked my doctor what to do.”<\/p>\n
“And what did he say?”<\/p>\n
Arthur grinned.<\/p>\n
“He said, ‘Arthur, if you feel any chest pain, stop immediately.'”<\/p>\n
His friend raised an eyebrow.<\/p>\n
“Sounds reasonable.”<\/p>\n
Arthur nodded.<\/p>\n
“Very reasonable.”<\/p>\n
Then he leaned in even closer.<\/p>\n
“The good news is… I never felt any chest pain.”<\/p>\n
His friend’s eyes widened.<\/p>\n
“Really?”<\/p>\n
Arthur shrugged.<\/p>\n
“Nope.”<\/p>\n
“That’s incredible!”<\/p>\n
Arthur laughed.<\/p>\n
“The incredible part was surviving when she looked at me and said, ‘So, Grandpa, what do you want to do tonight?'”<\/p>\n
The best man nearly choked on his coffee.<\/p>\n
The people at the next table started listening.<\/p>\n
“So what happened?” he asked.<\/p>\n
Arthur smiled.<\/p>\n
“Well, she helped me figure out the hotel television remote.”<\/p>\n
“That’s it?”<\/p>\n
“No, then she showed me how to connect my phone to the Wi-Fi.”<\/p>\n
The best man stared.<\/p>\n
“Arthur…”<\/p>\n
“Then she explained what a QR code was.”<\/p>\n
By now several guests were trying not to laugh.<\/p>\n
The best man shook his head.<\/p>\n
“You’re telling me you spent your wedding night learning technology?”<\/p>\n
Arthur nodded proudly.<\/p>\n
“Absolutely.”<\/p>\n
“Why?”<\/p>\n
Arthur took another sip of coffee.<\/p>\n
“At my age, successfully connecting to the internet without asking for help is a far bigger achievement than anything else.”<\/p>\n
The entire table burst out laughing.<\/p>\n
The best man wiped tears from his eyes.<\/p>\n
“Arthur, you’re unbelievable.”<\/p>\n
Arthur smiled.<\/p>\n
“No.”<\/p>\n
He pointed at his smartphone.<\/p>\n
“What’s unbelievable is that I finally know how to use this thing.”<\/p>\n
And with that, the 80-year-old groom happily returned to the buffet, feeling like the most successful newlywed in the hotel. \ud83d\ude04<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
