A music video for “Worry Worry” by Cincinnati Band Wax.
On what should be the happiest day of her life, a bride buckles under mounting anxiety and flees her own wedding—only to discover freedom, clarity and a spark of joy waiting outside. Meanwhile, the groom spirals into chaos before finding unexpected release in the celebration around him. Equal parts cinematic, chaotic and cathartic, Worry Worry becomes a visual duet between panic and liberation.
