Meli: I thought our wedding went perfectly.
Matt: Me too. Much better than my first wedding.
Meli: [Chuckles.]
Matt: Right into a volcano as soon as the vows were over.
Meli: You or her?
Matt: Her. They just needed me to be a foreign husband.
Meli: Ah.
Matt: You see, she had to prove her devotion to the Volcano God by rejecting the sexual advances of her husband.
Meli: Mm-hmm.
Matt: But under tribal law, if she married within the tribe she couldn't deny her husband's wishes. So they had to have her marry a foreigner. It was like, "I do. Wanna hump?" "No." And then they pushed her in.
Meli: Did they push her in or did she jump?
Matt: They pushed her. But, you know, she wanted to do it.
Meli: ...
Matt: Last Polynesian package tour I ever take.
This is a fairly verbatim account. Now you all know what I live with on a daily basis.
