There was, however, one large problem.
They all hated the bride! They couldn't stand her!
When they first met her 2 of the friends had gotten on very well with her (one had instantly disliked her) but other time elements of her personality had grated on them. She could come out with some horrible comments, her friends were really not nice, she was far too middle class and very uptight and she could be such a kill joy!
They knew the feeling was reciprocated to themselves as well, they could see that she thought they were too mess, they spent too much time with people they really should and above all She knew they avoided spending time with her.
And so as the day of the wedding came nearer the friends of the groom one by one came up to him and expressed their concern about his bride to be. They revealed of their complaints and the Groom listened carefully. He admitted that she could be all these things, and worse, but insisted that he loved her despite all these things and that they should too.
They day of the wedding came and the Groom and Bride had reach fever pitch levels of excitement, everything was set and at last they were to be united.
As the groom waited at the alter he looked around to see his friends. Sure enough one of his friends was there in the church on THE Brides side of the church. The groom went over and thanked the friend for coming. The friend replied that since the Groom loved the Bride, so would he.
The Groom looked round further for the other friends and saw them lurking outside. He went out to meet them.
He asked why they weren't inside, why were they not even dressed for the wedding. They revealed that although they loved the groom as a brother they hated the Bride, knew it was a mistake and pleaded with the Groom to listen to them. The Groom was taken aback. He once again opened the invitation to come in to the wedding, and that if they really loved him they would love his Bride too. But the two friends agreed they could never love the bride, that they would still be the grooms friend but not when the Bride was around.
After that the two friends left confident that their friendship with the groom was still in tact and went of to complain about the Bride as they enjoyed a pint at the pub.
Unfortunately the two friends never saw the Groom again.
