This outwardly typical display of bromantic mock-eroticism is more complex than it appears: the bros pictured here are actually brothers. The standing and seated brothers are at yet another brother's wedding, and the shared caress is presumably some sort of coping mechanism for the shift in the family dynamic.
How does an actual fraternal relationship distort the already complex, ill-defined boundaries of bromance? Are certain bromantic displays less acceptable within the family? or, for that matter, more acceptable? This photograph, like any compelling image, provides more questions than answers.
