The first time his childhood friend Mona hears about it, she asks Darren if he's insane.

Actually, no, she's knocked a couple back by then, so she asks him if he's fucking insane.

"No really, are you mad?" she says. "Because that's what I'm hearing. Marrying a dead man? Was he loaded or something?"

Darren just sighs and folds his arms across his chest. "No, Mona." His voice is overly patient and it pisses her off.
