“Friendships Were Ruined, People Were Arrested”: 37 Nightmare Stories Of Bachelor Parties That Went Horribly, Horribly Wrong
“By the end of the night, the best man was no longer the best man, the bathroom looked like an ER, and three couples had broken up.”
A while back, Billy_The_Beholder asked, “People who witnessed bachelor parties going terribly wrong, what’s the story?” And honestly…I think I’m swearing off all bachelor/bachelorette parties after reading these nightmare tales. Here are some of the worst.
1. “On the first night of what was supposed to be a crisp fall weekend of camping, cookouts, beer, scotch, and whitewater canoeing, the groom’s older brother and future brother-in-law got blackout drunk and started fighting. At first, it was just yelling and drunken shit-talk, and the rest of us blew it off (they’d never really gotten along, and we figured that, as with most drunken disputes between dudes, it would blow over). Instead, it escalated until the brother-in-law drew a .45 cal pistol from his backpack, pointed it at the groom’s brother’s face, demanded the keys to the equipment van, climbed in, locked himself in the van, and immediately passed out, still clutching his gun.”
“At first, we were relieved; sure, we were pissed off and in disbelief at what had just happened, but at least the situation was resolved and nobody was hurt. Our relief turned to horror, however, when we realized our sleeping bags, warm clothing, personal belongings (including car keys), and most of the food were still inside the locked van, underneath the groom’s drunk, unconscious, armed, idiot future brother-in-law. Nobody was really thinking straight, but we at least agreed we didn’t want to break into the van for fear of getting drunkenly shot. We were able to keep the fire going, but what followed was still one very cold, hungry night in the woods.

In the morning, we discovered that future BIL had capped off his private festivities by (1) vomiting in the back of the van, all over our backpacks and sleeping bags, and (2) leaving the dome light on all night, killing the van’s battery.
The groom was so angry that he simply bailed and went home. The rest of us sat around freezing our asses off in the morning fog while BIL cleaned all our gear. Once he was finished, we jump-started the van, abandoned our plans, and got the fuck out of the woods.”
2. “I didn’t witness this, but I got the account from my ex-husband, who was there. The bride-to-be didn’t want the groom to have the usual bachelor party because she didn’t want strippers, and he gets wild when drinking (for example, he peed on my dog when he came over for a ‘chill’ night of drinks at my house once). They rented a cabin in the middle of nowhere for the party, so they couldn’t get strippers. They brought the groom’s underage brothers; the groom was around 30 or 31 years old. At the party, they got drunk and started calling places for strippers. Everywhere was like, ‘No, we are not sending strippers last minute to the middle of nowhere.’ The groom then goes on Backpage and orders two sex workers to dance for them. Two girls show up high on meth.”
“Awkward dancing ensues. Then the groom went upstairs with them, and the younger brothers went outside. My ex went outside to check on them and found them standing on a hill next to the house, watching their older brother hooking up with sex workers.

At the wedding, the drunken best man’s speech included announcing to the bride’s conservative family that the groom had just lost his job and the bride was three months pregnant. They were hiding both facts.
It was a disaster from start to finish. They are still married with two kids. I’m not sure if she ever found out any of it. I haven’t seen either of them since the wedding.”
3. “The bride snuck in to see the groom after the party; he was being breastfed by his mother. She was in her sixties, and he was in his late twenties. The bride called off the wedding and didn’t keep it a secret why. I was relieved as I didn’t want to attend the wedding. I honestly wish I were joking.”

4. “At a Las Vegas bachelorette, the bride-to-be met a guy at a club who was a groomsman at a bachelor party. They exchanged numbers and hung out several times the rest of the weekend. She texted him a lot, and the groom found the text messages. He called off the wedding, and the girl ended up moving to Colorado and marrying the guy she met in Vegas.”
5. “A mixed bachelor and bachelorette party ended up being an orgy. I was not informed beforehand; I was just told it was gonna be ‘wild.’ I assumed they just meant booze, but I watched a girl about to be married, raw dogged by her soon-to-be husband and his best buddy, while I got piss drunk and ate chicken wings I bought myself. Not awful but a helluva shock.”
6. “A cabin was rented in a state park the night before the wedding. The bride-to-be was also there with a few friends (we were a very close-knit group). We drank, smoked — the usual. Later in the evening, the groom-to-be was casually stabbing his pocket knife on the picnic table that we were all sitting around. His future wife told him to stop, saying that he was going to cut his finger off. He said the blade was locked, so nothing would happen. Of course, on the very next stab, what happens — the blade released, folded, and cut his pinky off. His pinky was recovered and put on ice, and he was rushed to the ER. Miraculously, he didn’t bleed out, but at the altar the next day, we had to hold him up due to pain meds. That very afternoon, he went into surgery and had his pinky reattached.”
“It turns out the lock on the blade was faulty, and if you squeezed the knife in the right way, it would release. IIRC, he got a very nice settlement from the knife company. He regained most of the function of that pinky, also.”

7. “I was a bridesmaid at a bachelorette party where the bride had sex with not one but TWO other men (one was a bartender at a bar in the bathroom, and the other was a man she worked with and had been texting who came out to meet us). And I am grateful to say this engagement ended about three weeks prior to the wedding.”
8. “A video emerged after the bachelorette party: the drunken bride in a bathroom, throwing gang signs at the camera while some dude fucked her from behind. You could hear him moan as he finished, and she screamed, ‘OH SHIT! NO! NOT IN ME’ and the video ended. The groom was sent the video. The wedding still happened.”
9. “The bachelor party and the bachelorette party were in the same town (road trip) at the same time. Towards the end of the night, after all the drinking and strippers, the two groups merged in drunkenness well past closing times of any bar or club. I hooked up with the maid of honor while the bride and groom had a drunken screaming match about strippers and some guy who apparently talked to the bride-to-be — she tried to invite him to her hotel room. They did get married (the wedding drama was wild, too), but it’s one of those marriages where you’re wondering how long until it cracks. They do not have a healthy relationship, and now there’s meth involved in their lives. I don’t talk to either of them anymore. I’m still with the maid of honor, though. We bought a house last year. So that’s cool.”

10. “An ex-coworker of mine went to a bachelor party on a lake, and one of the guys jumped off the backside of the boat while the propeller was moving. He got his legs sucked into the propellers and torn apart. They were able to save his legs, but the guy had to relearn how to walk. It was a looong process.”
“A couple of weeks after I heard the story, I happened upon the guy’s Facebook profile…turns out he was a guy I went to high school with. The guy looks like he’s doing okay now.”
11. “The best man was cheating with the groom’s wife-to-be. The best man had spent time with the woman, helping them plan the wedding, when ‘one thing led to another’ and they started sleeping together behind the groom’s back. The groom knew about it after coming home early and seeing them both all over each other at the living room window. The groom hid that he knew for months and set up hidden cameras in his house to record what they were doing. The groom convinced his fiancée to have her bachelorette party at the same time as his bachelor party. I got to the party in the back room of a nightclub with my brother, who was a friend of the groom. Once we walked in, I felt some tension from a few people, but I put it down to party nerves and the several huge bouncers who were serving drinks and watching the door.”
“The moment the groom and best man walked in, the best man was about to make some pre-party speech when the groom just attacked. Then several guests started joining in — it was like watching animals attack.

The dude was destroyed. I’d never seen such rage. The bouncers pulled everyone off the best man (the groom hired them to stop him and his friends from murdering the best man).
I only heard about this part weeks after — at the same time this was happening, the groom’s sister was hosting the bachelorette party at her house. As soon as everyone arrived, the groom’s sister played the compilation of hidden camera footage. Apparently, the fiancée ran out of the house before the groom’s sister could get her hands on her.
I have no idea if the fiancée and best man stayed together (not sure what was left of him to be fair).”
12. “A friend of mine was invited to a bachelor party where they had planned to rent an RV and drive from Minnesota to the Kentucky Derby. They rented the RV and got on their way. Near the border of Iowa, they pulled over to get some food and use the restroom. One of the guys went to find something in one of the bags and opened the lower storage compartment only to see a blackened foot sticking out and a horrible stench. They immediately realized it was a dead body and called the police. The entire crew spent the whole time being questioned by the police. Turns out the body was that of a young man who had been drugged up and possibly mugged one night in the middle of winter. He found this RV and decided to get into the storage compartment in an attempt to get warm. He passed away and was missing for months. I believe it was in the paper and all over the news at the time.”

13. “I went to one of my cousin’s buddies’ bachelor parties. It was a fun pub crawl, trying different beers. Had a large suite rented for the night. We all sat around bullshitting, telling stories. He linked his phone to the TV, showing us pics and vids from his last fishing trip. Then he got a FaceTime from his fiancé. He answered it, but it was pretty dark. You could hear moaning, then it came in clear: four guys going to town on her. I’m not sure if she called or accidentally hit her phone. But he freaked out, which I don’t blame him for. She made him promise no strippers. He was drunk, mad, and screaming. I don’t know if she was ignoring him or if her phone was muted. He took a while to turn it off. We finally got him to shut it off. He was demanding his keys. It was going down at his house.”
“We all dispersed. My cousin and the guy’s close friends went to his house. He was tossing her things out.
They didn’t get married. I don’t know why she did it, if it was a last night of freedom kind of thing, or if she planned it to get out of the wedding.”
14. “Years ago I went to a bachelor party for a work colleague that I don’t actually know that well, but he is a nice guy and his best man (who I only met a time or two at the bars) that invited me said he didn’t have a lot of friends to come and I wasn’t doing anything that night, so what the hell, I’ll come. I am American, but this was overseas in a place full of expats, so we were all from different places. The drunken best man (English) picked a bar fight with a bunch of Irish guys who were in town on vacation or something. I noped out as soon as it started because I A) am a huge coward and B) didn’t want to end up in the local jail.”
“Anyway, the best I can piece together from what I heard is that a young male bar employee tried to get between them to break up the fight and got mildly beaten up, but had some undiagnosed clotting disorder and ended up dying. Witnesses were inconsistent with reports of who actually hit the poor guy (cops got there pretty fast, this place is maybe 1,000 feet away from a police station), so EVERYONE on both sides of the fight went to jail. I was in no way involved and haven’t been in a fight since I was a teenager, but I was a regular in that bar and didn’t want someone to misremember that I was involved, so I returned to the US as soon as I found out the guy died. I’m no longer in contact with anyone in that country, but the last I heard was a year after the event, and all those guys were still in jail.”
15. “The bachelor party was at a lake house. The house was right on the lake and had a dock that went right into the water. We were all drinking, having fun, and running around being dumb. We decided we’d jump into the lake. The groom’s brother ended up slipping on the dock and fell headfirst into the railing on the side. It knocked him out, and we all hurried up and ran to him. He had a gash on his forehead. We put him in the car and rushed him to the ER, where he ended up getting stitches. In the end, he was mad that the party ended early because he didn’t get to see the strippers.”

16. “A friend of a friend was having a bachelor party. Some other friends and I were at a regular old house party at the bride-to-be’s apartment. I was there because I was friends with her roommate. It was a tangled web of friendship, but ultimately, I was only an acquaintance with the bride-to-be and didn’t know the groom-to-be at all. However, my friend knew them both, which is how the groom met the bride in the first place. Suddenly, my friend who was at the bachelor party and all the other dudes showed up to the house party — everyone except the groom-to-be.”
“Some drama went on in another room, and the bride and her roommate disappeared and locked themselves in the bedroom (not what you’re thinking).
My friend told me that apparently, the groom thought the groomsmen would be cool with him trying to fuck some random chick at the club they went to, but when they saw him with her hands in his pants, they literally just left his ass there and came to the house party. The best man (fiancé of the roommate with whom I was friends) told the roommate, who told the bride.

They broke up, and she ended up marrying another friend of mine, like six years later.”
17. “I took a buddy out to the bar that a separate friend group haunts. He planned to have a few beers at his place, but seemed excited to go out instead. He proceeded to get blasted and hit on every girl in sight. I told him to calm the fuck down twice. He then groped a girl while I was in the bathroom and quickly left before he got his ass beat. I apologized profusely to everyone for bringing him around. He was normally a level-headed guy, but he just went off the deep end that night. The wedding the next day was awkward as hell. I was a groomsman, and we dipped out early from the reception. I never talked to him again. His wife left him a year later.”
“I still have an engraved beer mug with my name on it from the whole ordeal.”
18. “I stupidly offered to host a bachelor party for a friend at my house. Two strippers were hired. The best man became grabby with them and was acting like a drunk douche. I told him to stop, and he slapped me, so we started to brawl. 90% of the people there knew him and didn’t know me, so when the brawl broke out, everyone was defending him, you know, because ‘that’s my bro!’ I ended up getting kicked out of my own house violently, and they locked the door behind me. I went in through the basement and shut off the breaker, then screamed for everyone to get out. It took about two hours and the cops showing up to get everyone to leave. I didn’t go to the wedding.”

19. “The bachelor and bachelorette parties started and ended together, with the groups splitting off in between. I was the designated driver for the guys, and there was one for the women as well. Lots of alcohol was consumed throughout the day, and when the groups met back up about 10 hours later, the only people sober were me, the other driver, the groom’s mother, and the bride’s underage brother and sister. Stuff started to break down when we got back together. When one of the guys saw his wife, he said, ‘There’s my bitch.’ Her response was a hard slap across the face and saying, ‘Fuck you, asshole.'”
“Shortly after this, since we were meandering in the yard a little bit, setting up the firepit, we went inside to see the best man trying to flirt with the bride’s underage sister and convince her to have sex that night. He got mad when we stopped him from doing that and threw a punch that caught a bridesmaid in the ear. The bridesmaid’s boyfriend saw this and tackled the best man. One of the girls tried to stop the fight, and another one thought she was getting involved and started fighting her.
After this, a guy started offering his wife (maybe girlfriend at the time) to any of the guys, trying to convince us that she would be the best fuck you could ever have. He didn’t like it when one of the guys responded that his assessment of her fucking abilities was in question, as the guy had dated her a couple of years before, which started another fight.

By the end of the night, the best man was no longer the best man, the bathroom looked like an ER, and three couples had broken up. BTW, the bride and groom are still happily married.”
20. “One of the guys in the group got way too blasted at like the fourth bar we went to. … It was still early, around 8 or 9 p.m., and we had a long night of drinking ahead, so we decided to put him in an Uber to return to the hotel and proceed with the evening. We got him into the car, and the driver said, ‘Hell no, I’ve seen this before. One of you guys is coming too, and if he pukes, you’re paying.’ A few guys decided to go and make sure he got into his room okay, then come back. The group was now fractured into two, and I was with the bachelor and a few other guys. We headed to a strip club. All was going well, but we hadn’t heard from the other half of the crew, so I called them up. It was chaos. The drunk guy fell asleep in the car and would NOT wake up to get out at the hotel. Finally, someone decided that punching him in the dick was the right move and, sure enough, that worked.”
“He woke up and was pissed, but they got him into his room and came to meet back up. The night went on, and we all headed back to the hotel. The front desk was in a real state when we got there and was asking for one of us to ‘get the wild man under control.’ The hotel was pretty much in lockdown, and the cops were on their way. The wild man was our friend.

I was sharing a room with him, and when I got to the room, I found the door off the hinges, the bed destroyed, and the toilet broken at its base. There was a trail of debris and destruction all the way to the outdoor hot tub and a pile of clothing. From there, there was a trail of wet footsteps leading into another room, which had the door smashed in, and there was our friend, naked, passed out in the bed, covered in his own shit.
It was an expensive mistake to leave him alone.”
21. “At a buddy’s bachelor party, his college friends disappeared. He was drunk and wanted to go to a strip club. I agreed and went to supervise. Some time later, he was spirited away to a champagne room. My attempts to locate him were stymied by complicit staff and bouncers. Two to three hours later, he was brought out after he barfed everywhere. I dragged him back to the hotel and dumped him in bed. I left shortly thereafter; it was bad news, and it wasn’t my scene. He called me the next day; the club racked up $15k on his credit card, and he had no recollection. His fiancée called me asking what happened. I just told her I wasn’t sure and to talk to the dude. He’s been happily married for several years now. Fatherhood has calmed him down a bit.”

22. “It was my bachelor party about eight years ago. We got very, very drunk and were out on the lake driving around two pontoon boats. We bottomed out on a sandbar. My friend, who ended up blowing three times the legal limit, insisted that I had broken the boat (I hadn’t). I lifted the motor up and showed him it was fine. There were a couple of lily pads stuck around the fan. He was convinced this would break the engine and leave us stranded on the lake. I told him relentlessly that this was not the case and that I had been boating since I was a small boy. He belligerently told me I didn’t know what I was talking about and said he was going to fix it.”
“I told him we were fine and not to get out of the boat. As he was taking his shirt off to jump off the boat, I continued to tell him we were fine and he shouldn’t get out of the boat. He looked at me again and said he was sure I had broken the boat.
As he jumped off the boat, his wet skin on his hand somehow caught on to a piece of metal and degloved the skin off of his pinky finger. He got out of the water, screaming. His hand looked like the T-1000 from Terminator. He was profusely bleeding and had to go to the hospital. They couldn’t fix it at the hospital, and he ended up having to have his finger surgically implanted into his side to regrow the skin. His hand was attached to his hip for two months, and it didn’t grow back. He ended up having to have his pinky finger amputated.

To this day, he claims he gave up a finger for my marriage. I was the best man in his wedding and we’re still good friends, but all in all, this more or less ruined my bachelor party.”
23. Similarly: “Some friends got a yacht for a bachelor party. One of the guys slipped on the ladder while getting into the boat; his ring got caught on the ladder and ripped his finger off at the knuckle. One of the guys was then tasked with finding the finger. His finger was found with the ring still on it, and they put it in a cup of ice.”
24. “A friend of mine’s mom got remarried to a much younger guy. We were 15 at the time; the stepdad-to-be had just turned 21. For the bachelor party, they just had a night of drinking games and a BBQ. The groom got blackout drunk, and while drunk, his friends dyed his pubes bright orange, thinking it would be funny for the honeymoon. Unfortunately for the groom, he was uncircumcised, and some of that dye got into his foreskin. It got seriously infected, and instead of going to the doctor, he just tried to treat it himself. The infection got so bad that he ended up having to get circumcised a few days before his wedding.”
25. “One of my friends from college, ‘Beth,’ was getting married. We had drifted apart a little bit after college — no biggie. I was in the wedding party, but not the Maid of Honor (MOH). Beth asked if I would do the bachelorette party because her MOH, Susan, had a little bit of a wild life at that time. I happily agreed. I found a bar, called them up, and asked if it was cool to host there. I requested a room because I wanted to bring in a male stripper. They said it was no problem, and I paid a fee to reserve the room. As the party drew near, almost all of Beth’s friends dropped out of attending. We were literally down to me, Beth, and Susan, which is no fun. So I mentioned to Beth that my sister-in-law (SIL) and her cousin were in town that night and would love to see her, asking if they could come. Since I was footing the bill for this whole thing, Beth didn’t mind. I also wrangled in another SIL and a mutual friend, just trying to get those numbers up!”
“I realized that both my SIL and cousin were underage. So I called the bar to see if that was a problem. They said it was fine.

I fed everyone dinner. I made a cake and jello shots shaped like dicks, made up a bunch of games to do, etc. I got everyone in a car service, and we got to the club. I realized once I got there, it was a 21-and-up club, but they never said squat to me. They checked my ID and then just let everyone else in. Once there, I realized the VIP room I had reserved was just a section of the floor with rope and some curtains at the corners — totally open to the rest of the club. AND there are other parties also in the VIP ‘room’, including another bachelorette party. Not great.
The stripper texted that he was there, so I went to meet him at the door. I apologized and explained the situation. The dude was still game. Okay then. It was wild. The whole club was practically lined up at the ropes watching this dude grinding on Beth. The stripper said he’ll pull any bills from wherever we hid them on Beth with his teeth. People descended on Beth and started stuffing bills everywhere — in her shirt, down her pants. Even people not in our group. I was trying to push them back, but good golly. Beth was having a blast, so alrighty then. The stripper dude did a great job. He seriously put his all into his job. Not my thing, but he shook his money maker to the best of his ability. The other bachelorette party asked to borrow him. Um, no. When he was done, I walked him out, thanked him profusely, and gave him a big tip for being such a good sport. He was like, ‘Your friends are fun. ‘
As the night continued and everyone but me was drinking, I found out that Beth and Susan had been having sex while their husbands/soon-to-be husbands watched. For the last year! I had zero idea. I can only imagine what my face looked like when all was revealed. Then I realized that while the strip show was happening, men had been buying shots for my underage family members. So I had to go drag them away from those guys. And they were all hammered, really hammered, and I was completely responsible for this shitshow. It’d been a long enough night at this point, so I grabbed everyone and let them know that it was time to go. My girls were stumbling around, one puked in a bush, another was crying and contemplating texting her ex, etc. So I spent the rest of the night being a nursemaid.

The next day, I scheduled a horseback ride for Beth. Thankfully, she wasn’t too hungover! I asked her if the night was okay for her, and she said it was the best night ever. Beth and her now-husband got married the next week. It was the weirdest wedding I’ve ever been to. And they are still together 20 years later. I have no idea if Beth’s still fucking Susan. Better not to ask, I say.”

26. “A friend and her fiancé decided to do a joint bachelor/bachelorette party since they have a lot of shared/mutual friends. She agreed to let it happen at a strip club, which I thought was odd since she once voiced strong opposition to Magic Mike because it ‘objectified men.’ I also think she only agreed with it to look ‘cool’ to him and his friends, because they kept talking about how awesome it was for his wife-to-be to go with them to a strip club. At the strip club, she was buying him and his friends dances and started drinking a lot more than she usually does. She has a lot of insecurities and anxiety, and at one point, her fiancé made a comment to a stripper about her having ‘the best rack he’s ever seen.’ This led to my drunken friend climbing on stage and attempting to strip down. By the time I got up and convinced a bouncer to get her down, she made it down to just the bikini bottoms.”
“I got her clothes back on, and she was sobbing hysterically outside, in between vomiting, while I was trying to console her. Her fiancé and buddies stayed in the club because ‘she was ruining their vibe.’
They got married the next morning like nothing happened and celebrated their very strained fifth wedding anniversary three months ago.”
27. “I wasn’t at the bachelorette party, but a friend of mine was. Everything was somewhat normal: the bride-to-be got drunk/did cocaine, there was bar hopping, strippers…until the bride and her maid of honor decided to bang a stripper in a not-so-discreet way. Apparently, they both were really effed up and forgot the groom’s sister was also there and basically told him everything. The next day, he called off the wedding.”
28. “I went on a bachelor party trip to FloraBama (if hillbillies and rednecks had a kid, this would be that kid’s town), and we met up with another bachelor party that was there. We hung out, shared beers, listened to music, etc. They were pretty cool guys, despite being a bit younger than most of us, except that some of them brought their girlfriends. Okay, whatever…for macho testosterone-filled reasons, our group kept discussing which group would win a fight, and who should fight whom, etc, never thinking it would happen. On the last night, everyone was hanging out at the redneck bar, and their groom was at the bar making out with two of his buddies’ girlfriends. The buddies were the last to notice, so everyone was filming it and cuckolding the two guys. A screaming match ensued, their party turned into two sides yelling at the other…a fight broke out, and the bouncers let it ride since it was ten guys.”
“The groom got his face bashed in (like NO WAY he could get married in a week), three other guys and one girl left in ambulances, (she had her elbow snapped backwards with an audible crunch and it stayed that way for a long time), one dude ended up in only his underwear with his cowboy boots on his hands like boxing gloves, causing a LOT of damage to people’s faces. Friendships were ruined, people were arrested…Needless to say, we were still pretty sure we could have taken them in a fight.”

29. “I watched a group of stags dressed like Pamela Anderson (wigs, boobs, teeny swimsuits) run from our pub towards the beach. Unfortunately, the tide was out and the beach was covered in granny’s custard (sinking sand). Cue sudden shouts for help; it took two emergency response teams and a handful of angry locals to get them out safely.”
30. “A friend’s bachelor party was intended to be a chill couple of nights of camping around a pond. The first few hours of the night were great — everyone was drinking, catching up, playing yard games, etc. Then we decided to make a bonfire; this turned out to be a bad idea. The bachelor’s cousin started jumping over the fire and daring a few others to join him. At this point, it was a small fire and could be easily jumped over. Then the cousin made the fire bigger, circled around, and attempted a second jump over the now-bigger fire. He tripped over some logs in front of the fire and rolled through the flames, rolling out the other side with a large portion of his legs engulfed in flames. The bachelor’s cousin was airlifted that night, and we didn’t camp the next night.”
31. “It was a bachelor party in Las Vegas. Nobody knew that the groom had a problem with gambling. The first night we were there, we were all in the casino having drinks and playing cards. The groom got up to ‘get a drink’ and never returned to the group. After hours of searching for him, we finally found him sitting on the bathroom floor of his hotel room, crying his eyes out. He lost over $10,000 in just a few hours playing blackjack. We were there for three more days, and he pretty much didn’t even leave his hotel room and was terrified to go home and tell his fiancée he had gambled away most of their savings.”
32. “I was on a bachelor party years ago with the groom, friends, and his family. We all chipped in for a couple of dancers to entertain the groom. Meanwhile, the bachelorette party was going on in a different city, but they decided to come back early and party locally. They walk into the same bar. The bride-to-be went wild because the groom was getting a lap dance. As retaliation, she got dirty with a couple of men in the toilet and was caught by the door staff. The groom didn’t turn up to the wedding a couple of days later.”
33. “The groom’s buddies took him out and got him stone drunk the night before the wedding. They thought it would be funny to put him in a sleeping berth on a train. The guy woke up the next morning, 10 hours away. The wedding never happened. The buddies are not buddies anymore.”

34. “I worked at a few bars as an axe-throwing teacher. You see all types, but we get A LOT of bachelor/bachelorette parties who swing through for the novelty. The highlights: A bride found out a bridesmaid had slept with the groom in high school. Had to confiscate the axes. Two bridesmaids made out, and the bride’s mother flipped the hell out. Had to confiscate the axes. I watched a best man take a sip from his axe and throw his beer. The beer did not stick to the target, and he was sad. Water was provided.”
“One groom got left behind after a disagreement about a strip club. He wouldn’t go due to being a decent fucking human.
