Vegas (quasi-vent)

bridetobe71412

So, fiance's leaving for Vegas this afternoon. I mentioned this in the other thread but I wanted to whine about it separately. He's going with 14 of his friends so I know it'll be a good time for him.

I 100% trust him, especially now that the topless pool party his friend mentioned is out of the equation (THANK GOODNESS - But seriously? Why the heck do they even thave those in Vegas? I mean, I know WHY, but REALLY?), but I'm still nervous because I know how his friends are. They are smooth talking southern guys who are very cute, dress nicely and are quite promiscuous. (You may recall the story about one of his groomsmen from a few weeks ago . . . ). 

I asked him nicely to check in with me sporadically, so hopefully he will. He's usually very good about it, but I know his friends are going to heckle him if he's on the phone with me. I have a feeling the texts will be few and far between and the phone calls will be nonexistent.

Anyway, I just wanted to vent a little bit. I'm sure it'll be fine but I'm still a bit uneasy today. I'm having a few of my friends come over tonight to drink wine with me

I totally understand. My fiance is going cabrewing - beer-noeing- canoe-beering - however you say it, hahaha - for his bachelor party. It should be pretty tame, but one of his groomsmen is already saying he can't wait to make him barf from drinking too much beer. attractive, right? I think it's totally normal to have anxiety, because you never know what the groomsmen/friends are going to do.

My fiance doesn't check in when he is having fun, so try not to worry too much if he isn't texting. I plan on not even taking my phone out at my bachelorette party.

I wish I could come drink wine with you too!!!!

I know how you feel, I would be the exact same way. I trust FI too, and I actually even trust the guys that are throwing his b-party, but if my FI was going to Vegas, I'd be a little leery. I just can't help that feeling. But wine with friends would fix that real quick!

I know how you feel as well. I trust my FI completely but his brother who is his BM on the other hand, eh not to much....I think i would be uneasy about Vegas also, but i would ask him to do the same (text me) when he was there.

I would also be uneasy if my FI went to Vegas. He knows I trust him but one or two of his friends are complete dogs. The other friends are good guys. FI told me that if he went to Vegas he would love to make it a couples trip. The guys go to one club and the girls go to another. We all meet back at our hotel rooms at the end of the night. My FI made me laugh when he said at the end of a fun night with the guys he doesn't want to see them in the morning.

Totally understand how you feel!  I was def anxious when FI went to his buddies bach party last year in Vegas.

I wish I could come drink wine with you!  Maybe I should tell my family I am headed to NYC for the weekend and give them all anxiety hahah

hahaha you totally should! And butterfly can come in too. And we'll sit around and drink wine and address butterfly's invitations. :)

But for real, at least I'll be in Philly on Saturday for my dress fitting. That'll keep my mind occupied.

aww! He'll have a blast! 

How is his friend's pregnancy going??  Is he excited for the baby?

<div>Lol because men will pay for it and so they sell the sh*t out of it. But honestly, these pools are only about 20-25% topless haha. Anyways, I totally understand how you feel. I would be going crazy if FI went on a weekend long party without me (sounds dumb but I would feel left out!). I'm sure you probably have nothing to actually worry about. Spending some time with your girls is a great idea!</div>

Yes I was just going to ask this as well!

LM - Seems to be really going well, actually. I still haven't met the girl because they ended up going to Nashville to meet his parents that weekend, but we plan on hanging out over MDW. I think he's stepping up and being a good guy . . . and I'm hoping this may just be the kick in the butt he needed to shape up and begin acting like a 31 year old guy. We shall see. I will keep you guys posted

lvissers

Awww, everything will be fine! I know it's going to be hard for you though. Fi and I planned our bachelor/bachelorette parties the same weekend so we werent sitting around sad and thinking about what the other might be doing. I was told I can't communicate at all my FI on that weekend, I don't think so! I better at least have a check in to hear he's alive each morning, lol. Just think, after this short weekend his bachelor days are over and he's your forever. I know me and my friends with bachelor parties that approach us or we have had contact with in the past, just hearing they're with a bachelor party is a big red flag and no one ever takes those guys seriously to ever hook up with. lol.
Enjoy your friends and wine!

bridetobe71412

Thanks, ladies

I just remember the only other time I've been to Vegas and I went with 5 of my girl friends and we met a bachelor party group on our flight out there. We ended up hanging out with them all weekend and they bought us drinks, and most of them even were in relationships. I know it's harmless, but I don't like the idea of my soon-to-be husband buying other girls drinks. Not that I think he will be, but I'm sure they'll be a tab, and he'll end up (in some way) covering random girls' drinks.

I'm being such a prude.

Why does this ALWAYS happen with bachelor/bachelorette parties???

Our bachelorette party in Chi found a group of about 15 guys who were out and we ended up hanging out with them all night. The bride was actually PISSED because she wanted it to be a girls night, but it ended up being a co-ed night with these weird (but pretty nice) dudes.  It's a weird thing for a married or engaged guy to buy a girl a drink, even if it is harmless and maningless. So I totally get what you are saying - you aren't being a prude. It's a "slippery slope" ;)

I'm probably in the minority here, but I'd be utterly and completely jealous first, then slightly nervous second.

I have no idea what they're planning for my FI but they'll probably end up doing something sports-related plus lots of drinking.  I'm lucky in that none of them have any game, either, so... I dunno.

Sorry, b2b, I don't envy your position.

This is some of the guys going. Fiance's seated on the front left the dark suit with with blue shirt and pink tie.





Should be a rowdy bunch . . .

I am in this boat!!  FI and his friends have no game.  Plus all of them are pretty much married with new babies so it was more of just a night out for them. 

I am sorry I would not be happy if FI was going to Vegas either especially know you won't have much contact.  I am sure he will check in from time to time. 

BmoreBride311

I'm sure it'll be fine! And you have us here to distract you with random polls and dress/hair/rsvp/whatever threads all weekend lol.

I actually feel bad b/c my FI isn't really having a bachelor party. He wanted one. Not a crazy one, but a night out with the guys. It just didn't really work out with us being in London and barely any of his friends being here. He's going to do drinks with some of his GM who get to town early the Thurs before our wedding, but it's not really a full-blown bachelor party, and strangely there is part of me that wishes he could have that. I guess I'm a little looney haha.

AHH (as we know from my previous thread) I am totally feeling the same way! However, I did not know about topless pool parties!!!!! Ewww...

I also trust my fiance but am still feeling miserable about the whole situation. Plus, they also got a sick huge suite at the Hard Rock! UGH!!!!!!!

Bridetobe: Please check in with us on his return to give us the details!
