how far would you go?

what a funny story! I have known a lot of people who shouldn't have gotten married (some as predicted are already divorced!) but I never got into it because i think they should be able to make their own decisions...

I would go as far as I needed to- in the name of protecting a good friend. I would tie them down, take them away, and just plain tell them that they are making a huge mistake and this is the reason why I feel that way. My friends are generally smart and don't get into too many predicaments and they do listen to advice I give them. I'm not sure it's always good advice, just what seems right at the time and for the particular situation.

I would've said something a few days before the wedding to the person who was the closest to me and then I'd leave it at that. My husband's family thought I was marrying him for his health insurance and security. lol Because of my past experiences, I told my dad before I met my husband that I was going to marry for money because love hurt too much and here I met and married my husband! LOL I've gotta love him for he surely doesn't have any money!! lmbo!

I tell my friends a dozen or so times when I think they are making a mistake. But ultimately I have to accept that all of my friends are adults (at least in body if not in mind) so if they need to learn their lesson for themselves then so be it. Besides, I get tired saying the same thing over and over again. I'm sure they get tired of hearing it.

For a true friend. One that I loved and trusted like a brother or sister (or more) I would do whatever it took save encouraging them to break the law or going to jail for them. I have certainly given friends money, with no expectation of repayment. I have driven miles to take them places, pick them up from car breakdowns etc. Standing at the altar is not the time to get cold feet though. Smart move in behalf of the bride's family if true. Are they still together?

Thats crazy! My best friend and I both offered to help the other one get out of their wedding if necessary. I think its just something people say to be supportive. Very funny story though, I enjoyed it.

It's a tough one as we so many couples marry and then get divorced not long after which if they have kids, ends up affecting more than just the couple! Not forgetting the costs of divorce but more important the affect it may have on each of the two that went through the marriage thinking it was the right one or maybe thinking it would work even if they weren't the right one.....very tough decision in life!

That's really kind of funny. In my offline life, I am a church organist. I don't even arrive until 1/2 hour before the service. And I start playing soft organ music as soon as I get there. And the cue to start comes from the priest or minister. It in no way comes from a family member nor from a member of the bridal party. So, unless the officiating minister was ready to start. . . . . .I just find this scenario hard to believe. And, to be honest, I think at the altar is a little bit late to intervene. Where was this brother during all of those months preparing for the ceremony? Why didn't he say or do something before that moment??? If I thought a friend or family member was making a mistake I would surely say something. But in the end, it is there mistake to make and learn from. I wouldn't push it too much. And if the mistake were made I would be there for that person when it all begins to unravel. But as one who makes a living as a church musician, I really have to say that this story is farfetched.

I would go very far for a Friend But I have to say running away would not solve it I would talk to my Friend and if they know well enough they would listen to me as I will never interfere unless I am very Certain about something and most of my Friends know that

That is funny. I would never do that to my friend or for my friend. I have thought that my friends are making mistakes when getting married and they thought the same of me. right or wrong...it is a personal choice. If I thought my friend was making a huge mistake I'd be there for hugs when they figured it out and until then, I'd be hoping that I was wrong.

I would do a lot of stuff to help out a TRUE friend that has or i know for a fact would help me in a bad situation. The limits i would have to follow would be not hurting others by any means; i am a christian man and i don't know if i could live with myself if i did a major sin. So to answer the question simply i would help them as long as it wasn't a sin/breaks the law.

I actually tried to talk a friend out of marrying so soon after meeting the guy. She's my best friend so I know she took my opinion into consideration but I knew she'd make her own choice. I'm not going any farther than that. If a friend comes to me with an issue, they're gonna get the blunt, honest truth. Take it, leave it, love me, hate me-- I'm telling you the deal. But hey, I always say, you can find anybody to commit murder, but a true friend will help you hide the body. That's all she needed to know.

it really depends on the situation and how worse and important the situation is? Manytimes I prefer going hard at friend if he is doing wrong no matter he hurts of my words, but that is for good cause and understands later for sure...

I would go as far up to when my friend would stop listening to me. I would only consider a person my friend if they would take into consideration my opinion before acting on somehting so important. but that was funny how he just left lol

If someone in the Bride's family did hear him say that, I would hope they'd start the cerimony early, because it would serve the idiot right. It was not the friend's business to interfere like that, and if that is what happened, then he got what he deserved

LOL That was one bride that definitely wasn't getting left at the altar! I would stand by my friends through thick and thin though if I thought they were in the wrong I would tell them so - that is what friends are for isn't it? xxx

hahaha, well.. i really think that it depends on the situation ur at, if you know that what your friend is making you do is bad, then don't do it, but if its just for kicks and no one's gonna get hurt, then why not try, ryt? ^_^
