Im the best man for a very close relative that is getting married next spring.

Im throwing the bachelor party, which I am MOAR than happy to do.

Here's where things aren't looking too good:

1. Hes starting with the "Its my day so I say we are doing _______" crap. And that crap is "camping."

2. Hes never been allowed to smoke a cigar and will not do it just in case she ever would find out (also his finace's rule).

3. The fiance (and him) say "no drugs and no strippers."

4. Now I'm being told I need to book it a month in advance because the fiance says so (WTF?).

5. This is his first and only girlfriend (of 6 years now).

6. Hes totally the kind of guy who would tell his fiance what went down at the bachelor party.



What to do?

I almost want to politely decline. But I kinda want to fight the power.

The bolded ones I have a MAJOR problem. She is the only GF he has ever had and she basically walks all over him and sets rules. This guy has no back bone or self confidence. He prob thinks he'll never get another woman in his life, so he becomes a yes man.

I see this guy being a very unhappy dude in 20 years, well sooner

Try to make some compromises.

Look for like a KOA campground thats near the highway... its not 'camping' but its close enough to the hi-way you could toss him in a car and head for the stripclub.

if the guy is adament on the whole no-strippers thing then respect that and bring the booze and cigars out to the campsite for those who want to indulge.

maybe a stripper could just show up at the camp site... rent an rv or something

Roofy him, tie him to a chair, and let the dancers do their thing. You smoke the cigars. Take plenty of pictures. Put sunglasses on him if his eyes start closing.

If you're curious about repercussions, make him sign a NDA saying the night never happened.

Why do strippers need to be an integral part of a bachelor party? I've been to a couple and none of them had strippers.

im sure this is not the case. you dont even know the guy and you are already claiming these things. not everything runs like how they do in your life.

You can tell it's not Conne because this guy wants to go camping. Conne would opt for a male bonding activity consisting of sorting through old 1980s NY Times obituary sections and making a team scrapbook of favourite Upper East Side WASP deceased socialites. While Murder She Wrote plays in the background and everyone mutually masturbates each other to the beat of the drum brush on Art Tatum's Making Whoopee off the Art Tatum Tatum Group Masterpieces, Vol. 1 compact disc.

Come on man, get real. First and only girl friend EVER who is making rules to control him. You dont find that weird?

I feel bad. I can see this guy getting walked over his entire marriage. Before you know it she'll be getting her butch hair cut, sit around popping bon-bons and nagging at him to take out the trash. poor guy.
