Actually, my understanding was that this used to be the one thing that everybody wished they had the nerve to do, but never did, until the Internet came along and inspired people with tales of people marrying their best friends, and then suddenly everyone was doing it.

Actually no. That is a myth.

You’re supposed to “marry your best friend”.

Sometimes it’s not that long time friend. I would suggest to that guy, that they get a room and just bang it out. Why? Because maybe it’s just something they need to do to get it out of their system, maybe once they’ve done it, they’ll realize it…
