The church bells echoed solemnly through the old stone walls of the chapel, filling the space with a grand, almost magical vibration. Lisa—now Paul—stood at the altar in a perfectly tailored suit, his broad shoulders and strong arms the very embodiment of masculinity, something he had dreamed of for so long. Paul—now Lisa—stood beside him, dressed in a dazzling white gown, her newly acquired breasts feeling far too big, too noticeable, too heavy. The hand that had once been hers—now rough, calloused, and unmistakably male—was gripping her tightly, pressing her against her former body.

— You wanna explain something to me? — Lisa leaned in slightly closer to the groom, cursing how much shorter she was now and how she had no choice but to accept this as her new reality, while Paul possessively held her without even reacting, as if he hadn’t noticed her voice at all. She blinked, still struggling to accept that this was how she sounded now, and raised her tone slightly. — What… what the hell is going on?

Paul looked down at her, smiling—pleased, polished, standing in that expensive suit that fit his new body like a dream. Lisa felt something tighten inside her at that expression—confidence, satisfaction, that smug delight at how everything had played out. He didn’t look confused. He didn’t look scared or even concerned.

— Well… — Paul exhaled, shrugging. — There’s a… let’s call it a tradition in my family. Or a curse, if you prefer. It… swaps us with our spouses at the moment of the wedding kiss.

He said it so casually, like he was explaining a restaurant menu. Lisa stared at him in horror, feeling her heavy, unfamiliar breasts tremble with uneven breaths, while the tight corset and layers of skirts made it impossible to move properly.

Lisa blinked. The white veil tickled her shoulders, her large, too-soft tits jiggling with every breath, and the tiny high-heeled shoes were digging into her feet, making her feel more unstable with every passing second. She pressed her lips together, trying to swallow the lump rising in her throat.

— A curse? — she repeated slowly, barely moving her lips, as if the word itself might crumble into dust if spoken too loudly.

Paul nodded, still smirking. Lisa felt rage coil inside her. Just minutes ago, she had felt power, confidence, freedom in his body, and now… her new waist, narrow and curved, restricted her movements, and the layers of her gown clung to her legs in an irritating, suffocating way. That damn corset was crushing her ribs, forcing her to stand unnaturally straight, emphasizing the breasts that were impossible to ignore. She lifted her hand to jab a finger at her new face, only to feel her delicate, slender fingers completely lacking their usual strength.

— You’re telling me… — her voice trembled, that cursed high-pitched, melodic voice that couldn’t sound threatening even if she screamed. — That you knew? Is there anything else you forgot to mention? — Her new voice rang out, sharp and almost desperate.

Paul, now a tall, strong man in a flawless suit, tilted his head slightly, pretending to think.

— Oh, right. — He snapped his fingers like he had just remembered some minor detail. — You’re preg—

Paul never got to finish the sentence about the four children Lisa was now carrying, because the crowd drowned out his words with loud cheers. At that moment, the priest announced them husband and wife, and from both sides, a wave of congratulations crashed down on them.

— What a lovely couple! — a woman chirped, hugging Lisa while she desperately tried to process what she had just heard.

— You two were made for each other! — Someone squeezed her hand, while another—now so much bigger, stronger, and unfamiliar—still held onto her waist.

Paul, meanwhile, was looking at Lisa with an expression that might have passed for regret if not for the glint in his eyes—something nervous, half-joking, but not truly guilty. He was still holding her waist, as if afraid she might faint—and, honestly, Lisa was close to it. Her legs were shaking, the weight of her new breasts growing more unbearable by the second, and that ridiculous dress was so damn restrictive it felt like she was trapped in a cage of tulle and corset boning.

But still, Paul was satisfied. He had done it. He had achieved it.

No more "You're a girl, so you should—" and no more quiet submission. Now, he was Paul, a man in every sense of the word. Tall, strong, confident. He could feel the luxurious fabric of the expensive suit hugging his broad shoulders, the slight pressure of the tie around his neck, the way the trousers fit perfectly around his hips. His new, powerful hand easily, almost condescendingly, held Lisa—his former self.

Lisa had always been a tomboy, preferring messy hair and practical clothes. She had fought back every time her parents tried to force her into a skirt or dress, and over time, she had even developed a sort of misogynistic streak. When her tits started growing and the neighborhood boys began to surpass her in strength, she had been devastated.

And then she learned about the family curse.

That legend had been like a beacon of hope for her. She reread everything the old women in the family had ever said about it, memorized the tiniest details, and realized—if she played it right, she could shed this weak, despised body forever. All she needed was the right groom. A real man.

She started acting carefully, strategically. Learned to be "feminine," even though it made her sick inside to pretend. But for the sake of her goal, she could endure it. She cooked for Paul, smiled sweetly, obediently followed his lead whenever decisions had to be made. She ignored his wandering eyes when he checked out other women, stroked his ego countless times, letting him feel like he was in charge. She read books about marriage, about how to be a proper wife. She even went as far as investing in their prenuptial agreement, allowing Paul full control over their shared finances—let him feel like he had power.

But the most important thing—Lisa prepared for pregnancy. She knew that at the moment of the swap, she had to make sure Paul's new reality wasn’t just a shock—it had to be a prison, one that would keep him from ever becoming a man again.

She had stolen one of his condoms, used his sperm to artificially fertilize four of her own eggs, and then implanted them into her womb.

It was a risk.

There was no guarantee the curse would work exactly as the legend described, but… it did.

Now, Lisa—now Paul—felt the raw power and strength of his new body. He could feel the way the expensive suit fit perfectly around his broad shoulders, the way his strong hands were capable of things that had once seemed impossible. His voice was deep, rich, commanding respect. The world now looked at him differently.

Paul had been a pretty stereotypical man before the swap—in every possible meaning of the word. He wasn’t a bad person, but he had gone through life without ever thinking about what it meant to be a woman. Everything had always come easy to him—people listened when he spoke, they respected him, no one ever interrupted him mid-sentence. To him, being a man was simply the natural state of strength, and being a woman was just a different set of duties—something he never truly took seriously.

How ironic.

Now, his own body towered over him. No—Lisa, now Paul, did feel a little weird and awkward about it. Not in the sense that she regretted what she had done—oh no, that would be ridiculous. She had worked too hard for this, planned every detail too carefully, played the role of the gentle, submissive wife for too long to suddenly feel guilty now that she had finally achieved her goal.

It was just… strange.

Seeing herself from the outside. Looking into her own face and realizing it was no longer hers. That it now belonged to someone else.

And of course, she had no intention of mistreating her newly female husband—so long as this Lisa behaved like the obedient housewife she had pretended to be for so long.
