Couple set mood for Guns N' Roses by hooking up on a Ferris wheel & best friend's wife sends birthday suit pic
We’re back for another round of True Romance. It is with a heavy heart… or not as heavy of a heart as it once was? Whatever the mechanics of how it works are, there’s a heavy heart somewhere because of the Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo divorce news.
I didn’t want to start this week off with a tough breakup, but it keeps coming up. How could this formerly overweight singer and his wife, who left prostitution to become the "Trailer Park Barbara Walters," have their marriage end due to irreconcilable differences?
Truthfully, I don’t want to know. But something’s not adding up.

If anyone was supposed to make it, it was these two. I’d prefer to live in a world where these two make it. It’s a weakness of mine. A soft spot in my cold heart. But apparently they weren’t meant to be.
The world will keep going, and we’ll steer this week’s adventure from the dark back to the light. There are romantic hopefuls still out there.
Couples who are willing to climb into Ferris wheels at festivals and decide that Guns N' Roses needs the proper mood to be set before hitting the stage. They had to know that other festival goers could see them, and they made the sacrifice anyway.
It doesn’t get much more romantic than that. Let’s get to the rest of this circus, shall we?

Last weekend, at the Download Festival over in the UK, a couple were spotted on a Ferris wheel giving their fellow festival goers a show. It reportedly took place on Saturday night as people were waiting for Guns N’ Roses to take the stage.
The romantics were in a transparent pod in full view of those on the ground below. There is, as you might expect, a video of the mood-setting performance that made its way onto social media.
"Originally, for the first rotation of the wheel, people thought he was just standing behind her with his arms around her, looking at the view," a witness who is a regular at the festival said, according to news.com.au.
"I have never seen anything like this. They were literally in a glass pod above everyone’s heads at the busiest point of the night, just before Guns N’ Roses were due on."
Now here’s where the mood was set. The couple brought the crowd waiting to see the band together.
"It sort of brought everyone together in a weird way, before they were spotted the atmosphere was nervous apprehension because they’re always late on. As soon as the cameras came out and word started getting around about what happened the atmosphere completely changed – they made the night," the witness continued.
"All I can think is they thought the glass was tinted, but it wasn’t at all, it was actually spotless, you could see everything. I just hope they cleaned the cabin after they got out of it."
That’s all anyone could hope for. Now these two romantics, who remain at large, are being looked for by the Leicestershire Police. As we all know, no good deed goes unpunished.

The panicked call from his best friend’s wife came after he received a naked picture from her out of the blue. He’s now convinced that she’s into him.
She made the call, begging him to destroy the evidence, and claimed it was a mistake after he responded to the nude with "Are you serious?," he wrote to the Daily Star.
What he described as a blind panic didn’t have him convinced that it was an accident. Her husband’s best friend now thinks she might even want to have an affair with him.
"But was it a mistake? Was she simply testing the water to see if I’m interested? Does she secretly fancy me and want an affair?" he finds himself asking.
THIS ONE VALENTINE'S DAY THING CAN SUPERCHARGE YOUR LOVE LIFE
He doesn’t want to delete the birthday suit pic. He wants more and is wondering what his next move should be. This is an easy one, if he’s really her husband’s best friend.
You see how far she’s willing to take it, then let your buddy know that you’re in a relationship with his wife and make a complete mess of everything.
That’s how this guy wants it to play out and, strictly from a romance perspective, I get it. By the way, this is exactly how a couple ends up with irreconcilable differences.
WELCOME TO THE DATING RECESSION: WHY YOUNG AMERICANS ARE GIVING UP ON LOVE
The question of whether a wedding ring prevents others from hitting on you was posed to women on Reddit recently, and the short answer to the question is no. That's not nearly as entertaining as some of the longer answers to the question.

There are lessons to be learned from this. One of those lessons is that the wedding ring doesn’t always prevent married women from taking those who hit on them up on their offer. Best of luck to those who do not respect wedding rings.

That is it for this quiet Thursday in the middle of June. We'll do it again next week. Hopefully, we aren't faced with another heartbreaking and completely unexpected split like Jelly Roll and Bunnie Xo.
If we are, we'll get through it. There are always couples out there willing to take a chance on each other and willing to set an example for others, even on a Ferris wheel at a music festival.
