How the world has changed

[El Presidente]

Just received an invitation to a Bucs party where girlfriends and wives are welcome

I read it twice before calling ...WTF!

"Rob ****** wasn't happy about a Bucs party so "we" thought it best to have a "gathering". "

"Mate...that is called an engagement party"

"No Rob, this will be different as we will be having a whole series of activities"

"....are we throwing keys in the middle?"

Then "she who wears pants" got on the phone and gave me an earful for corrupting *****.

It is the end of civilization as I know it

The only females at a bucks party are meant to be part of the entertainment!!

I do believe that this is one of the 10 signs of the coming apocalypse.

[JMH]

Yikes. Now that the fiance is involved, the 'bucks party' will most likely be brunch at a spa. Tell him to run. If he's not even allowed a bucks party, imagine what married life will be like

If the fiance doesn't allow him to have a bucks party, just do what I did. Kidnap the groom and give him one.

[Ken Gargett]

i am seriously mortified that you know someone like that. and if i know them, at least they had the good grace not to send an invite.

[ChanceSchmerr]

I gotta say - that sounds just awful.

I agree with the kidnap plan. We did that for a friend of mine. The ****** still managed to meet up with his girl later at the strip club........

And that is where that anecdote ends!

[JMH]

Reminded me of this...

Edit: seems youtube won't let it be embedded -

the only happy ending to that is if she worked there.

Had mine two weeks ago, had 100% separate events for the Mrs and myself. Whats the point otherwise???

A bunch of mates at another mates place overlooking Brisbane City gathered for the event. We kicked off at 12 midday and consumed copious amounts of booze, laughed and told stories until 3am. They taped a 750ml bottle of beer in each hand with duct tape and gave me 10 minutes to drink them both or they wouldn't take them off for the entire event.

15 hours was probably a little long drinking wise as I have had some cracking hangovers in my time but never a two day one of such proportions that made me write a will on the bathroom wall at some stage. We all had an absolute ball though!!!!

In fact the only time I saw the Mrs was when I realised I had no keys and she opened the door after leaving me outside for a half hour just before 4am.

Imagine a country where has not been such a party. It's my living place...

haha thats what I was thinking. A quote from the movie 'Wedding Crashers' comes to mind: "I have to go, its an emergency... We have a stage 4 clinger on our hands".

[Azksig]

Oh the humanity. Don't go Rob, on principal.

I had mine back in March in Vegas. All I had to do was say "where ever you would like to have yours honey...i'll pay for it" :-)

[dicko]

That is some pathetic stuff there

[laficion]

EVEN my wife wouldn't stand for that and she's been dealing with me for 39 years

For an evening like that, guys don't need a babysitter

[First Lady]

Honestly this guy has to become a man before he gets married... a buck or hen's night is the sole purpose of spending time with your friends and having a good time... if she won't let him do it now he has no chance when they are married... I give them all of two years before he runs away from her controling ways

A womens point of veiw

this bloke? only if she let's him.

All this time I actually thought you were talking about a Tampa Bay Bucs party. Couldn't figure why you were so exicited just because you beat the Browns.....I'll go sit in the corner.

[cgarner]

This reminds me of a guy I work with. He went to break up with his girlfriend and she said no, I'm not letting you break up with me. So instead he proposed and they are getting married. Go figure.

[Leftridge]

Tell the poor sucker don't do it.. My wife tried to rope me into a "couples" baby shower..WTF? Are you kidding me.... Needless to say I took back my neubers and drew the line.. Guess what, we didn't have no freaking couples baby shower!

[DocG]

Really? A will on the bathroom wall? LMAO!

Had a hangover like that once. drinking vodka aged in oak barrels, called yah -yah (pronounced cha-cha).

I too thought a "Buc" party was a sports party. Language barrier between English/American. We used to call them Stagg parties, but now we call them bachalor partys, but the trend towards couples events are more common and more disturbing I'm afraid!

But don't ask me, my last wife tricked me into getting married for the tax benefits!!

[coneatty]

When you get to the party---if you go--- casually let it slip out that you saw his old girlfriend just the other day, and how much weight she's gained. She'll give you a free pass forever.

[CanuckSARTech]

Ooooh, I see. A bachelor party. I too initially thought a Bucs football party. In North America, we generally call things a "stag & doe" for an engagement/pre-wedding party with friends and family and lots of booze and games. But that's a month or two prior to the wedding. Then, for the weekend before the actual wedding (or even for the evening before, for those who are so brave and stupid to do so), we have the bachelor and bachelorette parties.

Debauchery and mayhem sometimes ensues.

My wife and I got married 4 1/2 years ago now. I gave all my groomsmen golf toys, sterling silver cigar tube/flask sets (with R&J's), and other little things (liquor, wine, sports apparel). Well, we cracked into all the booze, lit up the cigars in my fiancee's & I's apartment (she was staying at her parents' place that night, so we would see each other on the morning of, until the wedding itself), and had a good old time - then we went out on the town. When we came home from the honeymoon a week and a bit later, walking in the apartment, you could still smell the liquor, cigars, pickled asparagus and eggs, hot wings, etc. The place just smelled like arse. My wife turned to me, smiled, and said "Glad you guys had a good time." Perfect.

I can't imagine not having a "last night for The Boys" prior to the big day. If you can't be your own person, you rely on each other too much entirely in the marriage, and suck the individuality out of each other. He needs to have his own, and she needs to also. And they both need to be adults enough to allow each other a bit of respectable fun.

A friend was at a wedding a few years ago where the best man, in his speech, told this story about the stag party.

The story was about the groom's resourcefulness, reassuring the bride's parents that he would look after her in the way she was accustomed etc.

For the stag, they rented a cottage in Galway, miles from the nearest shop and brought a load of Guinness and the makings of a curry with them.

The next morning after a big feed of lamb curry and a load of beer, the groom Johnny had to "get a load off", so to speak.

When he was finished he realised there was no toilet paper in the house and they had brought none.

He thought for a while about what to use, towels, cutains etc. but didn't want to destroy anything in the rented house.

Then he realised that they had only used half of the loaf of sliced bread the night before..

Needless to say, while one table at the wedding was rolling around laughing, the speech didn't generally go over too well.
