I read another bitch which just reminded me of my own annoyance:

I’m engaged to be married and have been pestered by a lot of my buddies for not having a stripper at the party.

I hate to break it to you guys but I’m not “whipped” simply because MY idea of celebrating our marriage doesn’t involve getting lap dances from strange women. —Rather drink with my lady.

  1. Tell them you’ll order one up if they’re willing to chip in. When one of my boys got hitched back in 2005 we all pitched in to have a duo come in and perform. The women don’t allow themselves to be touched and they’ll only touch the groom-to-be and the company has to have permission to do that even.

    The party we had cost $500 for two gals and it lasted about an hour or 90 minutes. Plus the gals work for tips; they come with a coreographed performance but the more you tip out the more they do with their performance. Plus the ladies come with a manager who oversees everything and ensures that the ladies aren’t harassed and all that fun stuff.

    Simple, OP: if they want it they can pay for it. Once they realize that they’re on the hook for the cost they’ll either give it up or bite the bullet and pay themselves.

  2. weddings are a huge waste of money, so are the other trappings that go along for the ride…just run away and get married

  3. Weddings are for the brides, bachelor parties are for friends of the groom. They should have kicked in for a stripper if that’s their bag.

  4. Sounds like OP doesn’t want a stripper there at all, regardless of WHO pays for it.

    Seems pretty fair. I have male friends who aren’t into porn. People like what they like and dislike what they dislike. Tell your buddies it’s YOUR party and if you don’t want a stripper then so be it.

    Who cares if they call you “whipped,” anyway?

  5. Yah, its no big deal, really. Ralphs is open any night of the week so tell them to get their fill on their own time.

  6. I think it’s honorable to not want to have a stripper entertain your buddies at your bachelor party. After all, isn’t that really who the stripper is for? If they are looking to see girls take off their clothes that badly just leave them at the Toothy Moose to pick up a couple of horny college chicks.

    YOUR idea of celebrating your marriage is, from my point of view, the right idea. Here, here!

  7. well yes i should have said “just run away”. one of my best buds spent a fortune on this lavish wedding, they are no longer together…the bear and i got hitched cause we were buying property, i catered it myself/ backyard july 1st…we figured this way we would always get a day off

  8. and doesn’t look like danny devito on a bad back-hair day.

    paingirl (you’ll always been paingirl to me), you’re totally right.
    people go WAY overboard these days.
    granted, food is expensive but still…
    four figures on a wedding dress should be the new definition of insanity.

  9. OP no strippers wanted at your stag, then that should be respected. When I was a young man I lived in Montreal for a couple of years & for me the whole stripper bar thing got tiresome very quickly…maybe its because i’m not french, & don’t have any french ancestor’s as far as the family reseach showed.
    But if the party is as much for your friends as it is for you, then maybe go with the flow & if only the groom gets a lap dance, then simply refuse it & no one gets a lap dance & all your horn dog buddies get to salivate over some unknown & unobtainable young ass.
    Who knows ,they might just go home & use up all that pent up sexual urge on their old ladies & everyone will be a bit happier ~;)

  10. I’m the OP by the way, apparently you need an account to comment.

    I think they should do it on their own time. One step in the wrong direction if you ask me. Don’t get me wrong, I went to places like that a few years ago before I met the “old” lady (22)..

    Girl Of Pain, yeah that’s what the plan is pretty much.
    Having a wedding in the parent’s backyard and she doesn’t even want a wedding dress.. We’d both rather keep the $800.00 or more dollars that costs to buy important things…. like a new computer

  11. Oh, and Jonnoman I couldn’t have said it better myself.
    At least there’s one other guy on my side.. Hah

  12. The Hubby and I had a combined outing for our last “hoo-ha” before getting married. Gathered our friends, guys and girl, and had drinks down town. Then we got married in Vegas (planned) 🙂 Don’t regret any of it!

  13. haha Sadly, no. We were married in the MGM grand at Forever Grand. No Elvis or any other characters

  14. Actually a bachelor party isn’t about celebrating your marriage. A bachelor party is about lamenting the end of your single life and having one last hurrah as a bacherlor, hence the stripper. And I wasn’t aware that the groom-to-be was in charge of his own bachelor party, isn’t that supposed to be the best mans job? I guess you could have told your best man that you didn’t want a stripper, and if he respects your wishes you’re set… but he might just order one anyway.
