If you ever get married, remember my name: Max Henderson. In my line of work, you acquire a certain perspective on supposedly everlasting unions...
1. Pre-nups are your friend.
2. The person you married is not the person youâre divorcing.
3. And I hope you didnât spend much on the wedding because that was one helluva waste of hard-earned cash, wasnât it?
But some guys are willing to take a chanceâlike my brother, who thinks heâs going to ride off into the sunset with the woman of his dreams in a haze of glitter on unicorns. And the wedding plannerâthe green-eyed beauty who makes a living convincing suckers to shell out thousands of dollars on centerpiecesâis raking it in on this matrimonial monstrosity.
The thing is, Charlie Love is not unlike me. Weâre both cogs in the wedding-industrial complex. As the best man, I know her gameâand I can play it better than her. But after one scorching, unexpected kiss, Iâm thinking I might just want to get played.
