Best man Cameron Hines has never been able to say no to Brad’s hare-brained schemes, but this one takes the cake! The truth is, Cameron would be happy to be Brad’s husband - for a lifetime.

Better to go play in the sun with his best friend and resign himself to ending the charade once they return to their regularly scheduled lives.
