Now I try putting myself in that situation. I was married some 30 years ago and I also had a big honeymoon planned. If my wife left me at the altar, I can think of no scenario in which I would go on the honeymoon anyhow. I would feel like the world's biggest loser. Especially if I took my mother with me!

I can just picture myself coming back afterwards. People would ask me "How did the wedding and honeymoon go." And I'd say "Well, ahhh, my bride never showed up for the wedding...but hey, I did go on the honeymoon anyway...and I took my mom with me."

Doesn't everybody see how pathetic that sounds?

It sounds completely pathetic because you are supposed to be a man. A man is supposed to learn to honor and protect the women in his life. It's supposed to be in his cultural DNA.

So taking my mom on a honeymoon is supposed to be protecting her? Sorry if I don’t follow the logic.

If this man had any honor, he'd be writing a very big check to his former prospective in-laws.
