Its interesting. After some looking around and linked posts, this is not entirely true or at least confirmed.
Is the 'bridal carry' what the american diver next to them is surprised at? Seems like an overreaction to me if its only that
That's a totally believable action if you just saw someone doing something you perceived as romantic, and you didn't know they were together, and also you're a big fan of them so you like that they're together.
That's exactly the face I'd make I'd I realized two people I liked were a happy couple.
I am just surprised that lifting someone, especially for a celebration pose, means that they are romantically involved
It's the type of lift. Culturally, in the US, that's called the bridal carry because that's how a groom will carry a bride into their home after marriage.
Nice story but the reaction is to something else off camera
