Then apparently I'm French. Because I love to say "no", especially to those around me that wanna take my free time to do something for them. It became and automatic response even before the question is finished. "Do you...", "No". "But I didn't even...", "No". The only exception to this rule are my wife and kids. They get to finish their question before I respond with "No" ;)

How did you answer this question: Do you take her to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?

That's where it all started... After answering that question with "yes" and realizing what was coming his way he swore to always answer with "no" from that point forward.

Yeah, because being married makes you a slave, especially now with women having rights and all that?

Seriously, this stupid meme needs to die. Marry if you want, don't if you don't. But stop perpetuating these stupid clichés.
