A friend of mine just got married in Las Vegas on Saturday. His brother and wife, me and my wife, another friend and his wife and another friend all got there on Wednesday and Thursday. His brother was the only one to see him before Friday at about 9:00 pm. Now, most of us haven't seen him in more than 2 years on account he lives in Baltimore. It turns out that his fiance didn't want him to be out too late. OK, fine. Friday night, time for the bachelor party. We hook up with him at 9. He says he has to be back by midnight, and no boobies. I'll concede the "no boobies" rule, but "midnight?" In Las Vegas? That's like 6 pm anywhere else. The wedding wasn't until 5:30pm! And he also said that she wanted him up by 7am. Makes no sense.
To make a long story short, he didn't budge and went back at midnight. We all went out and had a good time without him.
During the cajoling of trying to get him to stay out longer he stated, "You don't understand, this is about Nancy (His fiance)." His brother said, "No, you don't understand. This is about BOTH of you."
I just think that a good marriage requires a bit of freedom and a pretty loose leash. My wife agrees and was pretty much more pissed off than I was about it.
Thoughts?
