I don’t think you need me to tell you how to run or host your own Bachelor Party…
Yes I do. I want my wife to tell me how to run or host my own Bachelor Party. I don’t have any ideas. Literally, I am fine just doing nothing. No party.
(Sigh)… What if you guys all went to a SPA and got facials and mani-pedis?!
(Cackling) WHAT??!?!?!?!
(Giggling) Go on… just spoil yourselves with a bit of pampering! Mud masks and facials… sit in robes… in a sauna?! I don’t know… talk to each other… have a men’s tent kind of vibe but also with like facials and manicures, pedicures… male grooming…
MALE GROOMING??!?!!?!?
I don’t know, you don’t have to follow my suggestions exactly.
I’m not sitting in a SAUNA with OTHER GUYS.
(LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL) Okay fine! Just go out for a BBQ or something, I don’t know…
What if the guys want strippers? What if they want a really “bro” kind of Bachelor Party?
Hmmm… how do you feel about it?
I… can’t be bothered…
Okay… well… maybe not then… how about bowling?
Bowling?
Yeah — you know, it’s kind of a middle-aged Dad kind of thing. Just hang out with the guys at a bowling club. Order some hot dogs and drinks. Lite beers, or non-alcoholic beers. Bowling.
Bowling… (Thinking)… You want us to just be in a bowling alley for my Bachelor’s Party?
Well…? What other ideas do you have?
I don’t know… I kind of just don’t want to do anything, really… it’s just the bros asking…
Do THEY want strippers? Is that why they’re asking? They want an excuse to go to a strip club?
No… they’re just asking if I want it…
Why don’t you just tell them truth? Like you just told me? You can’t be bothered?
(Weighing this up… how to explain)… I’m just trying to think of something else — an alternative option — so we can go do that instead…
Why don’t you guys go… and see a musical together?
(Laughing) A Musical?!
Yeah. Why not?!?!?! Just go see a musical — doesn’t have to have nudity — but a musical show. Something like “Wicked” but not Wicked — whatever’s on. Or a ballet or something like that.
I don’t know if we have the right idea about what a Bachelor’s Party is about…
Okay…? Well… What do you think it’s about?
I think it’s supposed to represent my last night as a “single guy” — but I’ve lived my WHOLE LIFE as a SINGLE GUY. I don’t need even ONE more night of it. I’M DONE. I’M SO READY TO GET MARRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(LOL) Hmm… maybe you guys need a “Truth” box as well…
Oh?
Like you want some guys who are already married, who already have kids — to give you some advice… Invite some of those guys along to bowling… just sit around, bowl, talk… okay it doesn’t have to be a literal “box” but you want to hear some stories, some advice from guys who are now in that next chapter of life… Maybe you don’t even invite any single guys at all. Go bowling with some Dads. Our-age friends, millennials — who are already Dads. Go do that, that’s your Bachelor’s Party.
(Smiling) I think I like that idea… This is why I love you so much.
Love you too… xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox
