Step 5. Having a Bachelor Party | |||||||||||
Without breaking off the engagement | |||||||||||

Don't land in jail | |||||||||||
I'm going to file this one in the "obvious" column, but it's worth mentioning. Women don't like bailing their men out of jail (well, except for a really small fraction of the population that you definitely don't want to be marrying), and they don't like marrying ex-cons either. So get in trouble, but don't get into too much trouble. | |||||||||||
Don't break the bank (at least not yours) | |||||||||||
Funny thing about marriage, it stops being your money and it starts being our money pretty quick. The first time when this is actually in effect is for the bachelor party, where any excess spending is going to be viewed as money which could have been spent on the wedding. This is going to be especially true if the money spent involves gambling (aka flushing your money down the toilet), and no man has ever successfully financed his entire bachelor party and wedding at the poker table in Vegas. If he says he did, he's lying. Remember though, your buddies aren't getting married, so these rules don't apply to them! You're home free if they pay for everything, though expected to return the favor later. | |||||||||||
Have just the right amount of skin | |||||||||||
The key to a good bachelor party is having just enough skin (and by skin, I mean random female skin) so that your fiancee is convinced you are heterosexual, is convinced you had a good time, and also still respects you. Seriously, having a couple of strippers at your bachelor party isn't worth it if that's going to piss off your fiancee. If she doesn't care, then by all means. You can ask yourself if you really want to marry a girl that doesn't want strippers at your bachelor party, and that's a fair question that only you can answer (believe it or not your drunker friendds are not qualified to field this one). Oh, and if you're getting all hot and bothered over some skanky strippers and start foaming at the mouth over the prospect of some lap dances, you might not be ready for marriage. | |||||||||||
This is a great time to get out of things | |||||||||||
Maybe you aren't ready to get married. Maybe you are, but your fiancee is a complete biatch. Either way, the Bachelor Party is a great opportunity to have the engagement called off. Just break any of the above rules (or preferably all of them), and you are more than likely home free - after a few months of crying, yelling and screaming that is. Just be aware that you will be expected to reimburse your buddies for all the lapdances and bail money they fronted - it's the right thing to do. | |||||||||||
