I turned up to a friend's wedding unexpectely ...
One of my great friends from college was getting married, but neither my wife (who was also a good friend of hers) or I thought we would be able to go due to study and professional exams.

However, just a few days beforehand I had something cancel and so decided to pop over - a quick 5000 miles each way to Tucson in Arizona (we live in the UK). Turned up Friday evening, left Monday lunchtime. It was not the sort of do where exact numbers mattered and she was obviously pleased I was able to make it. Although it did throw her somewhat when she answered the door expecting it to be her fiancee and found me there. He had picked me up from the airport but neither of us had told her I was coming. I actually think she went into shock for a few minutes.

Pretty expensive weekend as far as traveling goes but worth every penny to make a special event. Also the only weekend where I have managed an average speed of about 150 mph!
