my first stag do
« on: November 21, 2010, 11:29:59 PM »
i'm not getting married or anything, but my mate is in a couple of weeks. spent the weekend in Bruges. i have to say, that was a right laugh! i probably drank a bath tub full of beer, if not more, and we were fairly rowdy and obnoxious... but not too bad. great stuff :) can't wait for another mate to get hitched

What a great place to go for a stag do- lovely little town with some great bars.

I've never actually been to a "proper" stag do.  I was supposed to go to one a couple of years ago, but I made excuses because I was afraid it would all be a bit too laddish for me....  :|

Haven't been to Bruges either, but I have seen the film In Bruges and it looks very nice.

I've never been a wedding let alone a stag do. The ones I have seen only get too laddish if they are laddish type folk.

Got made chief brides maid last night.

I'm arranging one at the minute.  We are going indoor skydiving, to a football match then for a night out.
Possibly Go Karting too.

There will be no laddish pranks or daft matching outfits though as that's not really anyones thing.

I went on one to Amsterdam a few years ago.  That was interesting.

It's totally not my thing - I don't think I've ever been on a stag do with anything like this. I don't really understand the point - maybe I'm getting too old!

mine ended up being a bit laddish - which is totally not my thing normally but i knew it was coming and decided just to go along with it.  I figured the more i resisted the worse they would make it for me

I cant even remember leaving home to get on a bus to derby (walking through the catchment area of my school :) ) at about 4 in the afternoon.  there was a strip club involved followed by the metal floor of a club called mosh.   I put my back out and did something dodgy to my leg meaning i couldnt walk for a week afterwards..

i did manage to forget my wallet before we left home meaning everyone else had to pay for it and i felt more at their mercy because of that!

I suggested a day paintballing, go karting etc - i was overruled

I'd love to have a day going round guitar shops! I'm never going to get married though.

As a matter of principle, or just don't see the need to change what you've got?

We both always saw it as a large expense that would not make much difference in our relationship. It's just not for us - no principals or anything involved and I respect people that do get married. It's just not for me (or us).

yeah, i'm not a massive 'lad' but this particular stag do was pretty laddish. quite enjoyed indulging that side of myself for a couple of days though! crucially the stag was having a great time, and it rubbed off on us all.

i watched 'in bruges' a couple of days before going on the advice of friends. great movie! i can confirm Bruges is like a fairytale, its like a fu_king fairytail town  :D

Fair enough!  :)

Only just noticed that!  Do you have to wear a hideous frumpy dress in an unattractive shade of peach or turquoise, to make the bride look better?

Well it was an extension to an in joke as my best lesbian friend refers to her best straight female friend as the wife and they were looking at wedding cakes together. How many freaking duties does a bridesmaid have!!! If I have to host a shower I'm so learning plumbing first.

As traditional as it is to make everyone else look hideous, they are not aloud to do it to me.

That's my feeling on the whole thing too, with all this talk of the 'Royal Wedding' my girlfriend keeps hinting, so looks like we don't agree on it as much as I thought!  :?

I think you're meant to "please" the best-man and the ushers at some point during the reception (usually under a table).

Ah! Do we have an engagement in the offing? Could we be heading for our first "BKP Meet Stag Do"? :lol:

Even though I've been through a divorce, I still kinda "believe in marriage" for me personally. If the lovely (current) Mrs R had been against it I wouldn't have made a big deal about it, but I'm happier that she wanted to get married as well...

I used to waffle about "it's not about the day or the piece of paper, it's the standing up in front of people and making very public vows..." and that is how we both felt about it... but I've met enough "married" couples over the years who aren't married and who seem to be every bit as commited/etc as we are, so I'm not convinced anymore that it's much of a valid argument to offer to others...

I think the main thing is that both parties have the same ideas/concepts of the commitments made. My parents, for example, would argue that the public commitment helps ensure that. But... in my experience I'm not convinced anymore - I've been through one marriage myself where we obviously weren't on the same hymn-sheet in this area, even with the protection of the "public vows"!! :lol:

So, Brow, when's this BKP stag do? Obviously we can't have it too laddish or some won't want to come (including me!!)
