After watching The Hangover, we all questioned whether overly friendly strippers and blackouts were commonplace at modern stag parties. It’s doubtful that your fiance will become stranded on a roof, so calm down. We talked to average guys, just like your future husband, to find out about his “last” weekend of freedom before getting married.
You are concerned that Brides readers may be turned off by the numerous articles depicting bachelor parties as inebriated stripper fests, despite the fact that the fiancée and they have the type of relationship where we can talk about these things openly and set expectations (other types of relationships are not advised for marriage, by the way). So here’s the situation.
One of the most feared phrases in English is “We have a bachelor party to go to this weekend.” Despite this, there is (likely) nothing to worry about. Although the idea of stoned bros wrecking havoc in a swanky strip joint may come to mind when you hear the term “bachelor party,” in reality, most bachelor parties are much more sombre affairs than anything from The Hangover Part II. The following actually occurs during bachelor parties:
Not for your fiance, but for themselves, his friends are there.
He’s a good man, but we’re in the mood to party. The guys get together for a few beers and a replay of the crazy behaviours that united them as pals in high school or college to celebrate the groom’s “last night of freedom.” We roast the groom and make fun of him for what he is about to give up, just as in the old days.
Alcohol-Addled Is a Reasonable Term
Yes, we drink exactly the same quantity of alcohol that you think we do. At a bachelor party, which is really just a drinking binge masquerading as a party, any small event serves as pretext for drinking.
The best phrase would probably be "horrifying mess."
College was the ideal setting for two days straight of cheap beer and fast food. Weekends were described in this way. Now? The spicy chicken sandwich doesn’t taste as as good as we remember it being, and we can only image how dreadful it must have been in the stomach. Despite this, we frequently choose the extreme course of action, despite the unfavourable results. The floors are covered in beer cans and hot dog scraps, and there is a heavy odour of stale cigarettes, sweaty gym gear, and shame.
They remember their college years.
Even if your banker isn’t actually chugging Pabst, he’ll get fairly tipsy from a round of “Chug! Chug! Chug!” Most bachelor parties are basically a get-together of longtime friends who revert to their younger selves, even when they’re sipping high-end bourbon.
They Take Dubious Actions.
The men’ Speedo-style swimsuits are what we mean when we use the word “dumb,” not the fact that they make out in a secluded cabana with a gorgeous bottle woman. The planner usually goes all out because this isn’t the kind of party he usually attends.
Spending is considerable.
They Spend A Lot.
Not just the girls at your bachelor party go above and above to make your weekend special (ahem, spa day); the guys do the same. One group spent over $300 merely to skip the line at a nightclub, while another organised a surfing trip to Nicaragua.
A person will suffer harm.
This might happen after a go-kart accident, arm wrestling match, or drunken belly flop competition, but it’s more likely to happen when a fight breaks out for no apparent reason.
There Will Always Be Brothers
There will probably be a lot of almost-too-long-for-comfort bro embraces and “I LOVE YOU MAN”s after the battle, as previously mentioned, but more likely for no apparent reason.
As you can see, there is really little cause for concern. If your boyfriend returns hungover, filthy, and devoid of all dignity, you’ll know he had a blast at the bachelor party.
