My best friend asked me to be his best man. I was excited until he added one strange request: “Please don’t talk to my fiancée about our college years.” I laughed and asked why. He just said, “Trust me.” I didn’t think much of it until the wedding rehearsal.
His fiancée pulled me aside and asked, “What was he like before we met?” I gave her the honest answer. He was reckless, loud, terrible with relationships, and constantly getting himself into trouble. She smiled awkwardly and said, “That’s not the man I know.” Then she asked me one more question: “Did he ever date someone named Rachel?”
