@DrewP, while I agree having respect for others (all the people who traveled, etc) is important. A person who doesn't respect others will never really earn any respect either.
However, maybe it just took him that long to realize. In tons of movies and tv shows there is always that scene of either the bride or groom doubting and wondering about his or her choice. And everyone around them telling them it will be fine, etc, to do it blah blah. Then it hits him that he can't do it. Maybe it is like the movies and a ton of images flash through his head and he realizes how fucked he would be going through it.
Obviously, he can't make the fatzilla feel better but maybe the people on his side care enough about him to understand that he made the best choice for himself. And if he mans up, he tries covering some of the financial damages for his decision.
This little story of mine pales in comparison to what is happening to the LUCKY FAT DODGER, but once I was at a college event and there was alcohol being served and I stepped back into a guy I knew and spilled his beer. I could have been a dick and said you shouldn't have been standing so close, blah blah. But I apologized and got him another beer, and his attitude changed completely. I covered his losses (granted a 2 buck beer isn't much), but it was the gesture. If captured men for fat wives camp escapee offers to take care of at least his side, most will probably not take his offer but will appreciate the gesture.
Ok I'm done rambling.
