Sprint recently published a Press Release about their record setting weekend of Palm Pre sales but beyond the marketing fluff was a truly awesome story. One Palm Pre fan was set to be married at 8AM but guess where he was at 7:45AM? Waiting in line for the Palm Pre:

On Saturday at 7 a.m., Theodore was 14^th in line at an Atlanta-area Sprint store, fidgeting for his new Pre. His wedding was scheduled for 8 a.m. As much as Theodore wanted Pre, he wanted his bride, Anita, to see him at the altar at the appointed time. At 7:45, he abandoned his wait and left his line-number and credit card information with a Sprint store employee, asking that he “hold the 14^th phone for me.” The Sprint store employee obliged. Minutes after the recessional, the newlyweds returned to pick up their phone, spending the first minutes of married life with a Ready Now consultant who walked the happy couple through Pre’s setup and features. The new Mrs. Travis later revealed that her reaction was “You did what?” to her husband spending the hour before their wedding waiting for a phone, but later admitted, “I guess I kind of understand now.”

The couple filed for divorced the next day, when his wife asked him to buy an iPhone 3GS for her.
