I have an example. When I was young, very young, early 20s sort of young, I had a good friend. We used to hang out a lot and we both got ourselves girlfriends at the same sort of time and both intended to get married. I got married first and this friend was the best man. It was always a given that we would be each others' best man. When his wedding came along we were making plans for it and the topic of best man cropped up. His wife-to-be said, "I'm not sure about that. Can you have a married best man? I think the best man is supposed to be single." Although I still slightly regret the argument-winning reply I am sure I would regret it even more if I had let the opportunity slip... "If you are going to be really traditional, shouldn't the bride be a virgin?"
