[A_perfect_lady]

My mother's second husband "waited" till they were married. Then he waited some more. Turns out he was gay and in denial. After that, my mom was a little jaded. "Never buy a car without a test drive, honey," she'd say after a glass of wine or two.

One of my aunts "waited" until her sweetheart insisted they elope one fine day in the 1950s. And then she also waited some more. It was pretty easy to get the marriage annulled later, since it was never consummated.

What my aunt's first 'husband' was really looking for back then, is called a "beard" these days.
