A friend of mine stopped at a gas station on his way to getting married. I think he was wearing a suit or a tux, I can't remember, but he said 3 guys next to him were filling up their truck pulling a camper going hunting for the weekend. They asked him what he was doing and said with some pride that he was about to get married. They told him they'd give him $100 and he could spend the weekend hunting with them if he didin't do it. Told him he'd thank them and pay them back in a couple of years.

He declined and for the most part it worked out. They stayed married for about 20 years before divorcing and still get along, but I never forgot him telling me that story.

I always had a crush on his wife since kindergarten and at one point the opportunity presented itself to me but I couldn't do that to a friend. She'll always be the one that got away.
