Have you had or do you have an "if we're not married by age ___, let's marry each other!" buddy? I had THREE! And they are all now taken (and I know it's because my guy friends are fabulous - I know how to pick 'em!)!
My 30 (which is way too early to start playing that game, by the way!) was BW. The roommate of my best guy friend in college. He got married just before he turned 30 as I recall. Coincidence? Nah - pretty sure he knew what was ahead of him if he didn't!! :)
My 40 was Reed Morton. I have known him since Kindergarten and yes, for those who follow Gamecock football, he was the place kicker for USC from 1993-1997. We ran into each other at the infamous Tammany Hall (think of every cheesy dance club you have been to and then combine them all together and you'll have about half of the picture in your mind of that spot) and made that arrangement. Yep - he's taken now too!
And then my 50... The best part of this one is that we made the agreement because we laughingly assumed that we'd be old and getting ready to retire and just want to have some companionship at that point. Now that I am 37 years old, that is not so funny. My 50 was my best friend from college - Matt Stanton. And you know who snagged him? My college roomie Wendy! :) So I guess I am okay with that. Pretty sure they will make room for me in the RV we're going to tour the country in when we retire...
(PS - If you are reading this, hopefully you already know, but of course I did not take any of my "arrangements" seriously!!)
